"Mara spoke at rallies held by ACT-UP, the anti-Catholic group that disrupted Mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in 1989 by spitting the Eucharist on the floor. In 2000, she practiced civil disobedience when she took to the streets of Seattle in a protest against the World Trade Organization. In 2002, she tried to shut down Washington, D.C. in a protest against the IMF and the World Bank."

Not exactly Mother Teresa for Mr. Heinz Kerry...

Her resume is that of a person looking for a job working for Fidel Castro, not John Kerry. Just wait until Catholics and Protestants learn who this lady really is.”

Castro, Kerry, you say tomato, I say tomato.LOL!

It is evident that the Kerry campaign does not have a clue about appealing to persons of traditional faith. It's almost as if the Ku Klux Klan decided to reach out to the black community, or the Communist Party to independent businessmen.

I'd hate be standing in her shoes come Judgement Day.

Nope...not by a long shot...but she seems to fit in just perfectly with the Kerry campaign.

Can his campaign get any more incompetent? This is highly amusing!

Absolutely! Just pick somebody no one has heard of. Or pick nobody. But why beat yourself up like this? Granted, it isn't a big issue, but why do it to yourself?Do they want to lose on purpose?

“Here’s what we know about John Kerry’s religious outreach person. Mara Vanderslice was raised without any faith and didn’t become an evangelical Christian until she attended Earlham College, a Quaker school known for its adherence to pacifism.

One big problem - Quakers are not very Christian people!

“At first, John Kerry was considered too moderate for Mara, which is why she became Howard Dean’s Religion Outreach Director.

Flash to William Donohue - she still ain't an "evangelical Christian!"

Seriously, with stunts like this, I am thinking that he has been told to do whatever it takes to lose.

Or he is off his rocker.

Or, quite possibly, he honestly has had not contact with religious people and has no idea that they find this incredibly offensive.
