The New Republic Apologizes for Anti-Jewish Comment. Shouldn't they Also Apologize to Christians?
Comte de Maistre

The liberal New Republic Issued an apology today, for an anti-Jewish comment made by one of the magazine's writers, Greg Easterbrook: http://www.tnr.com/doc.mhtml?i=express&s=editorial102003

But the New Republic also has a long record of vicious and hateful comments about conservative Christians. Paul Weyrich once tried suing the magazine for some especially spiteful and mean spirited comments that the magazine made about him. Recently, the magazine insulted and slimed Mel Gibson and other traditionalist Christians, in a commentary authored by a certain Paula Fredricksen.

It is important that all believers in traditionalist Christianity, write to inform the magazine that conservative Christians are equally deserving of respect in the pages of that magazine. For years, the New Republic has demeaned, slimed, denigrated, and belittled Christians, without any consequence, and without them offering apologies to offended Christians. That has to stop.

The editors of the New Republic need to be convinced to end their decades-long anti-Christian bias.

The magazine made a point of bragging about its long record of fighting anti-semitism. Can the magazine make a similar claim about having fought anti-Christian prejudice?

Christians are taught to turn the other cheek. Thats why the rest of the world can freely abuse them. But if God only helps those who help themselves its time the Christians fought back.
