On Garofalo's show, her co-host called John Ashcroft a "fascist."

Y'know, I don't get why the left hates Ashcroft so much as the Attorney General, and defended Reno's very overt attempts to actually turn the federal law enforcement agencies into a political payback apparatus.

Can some one tell me why the left hates AG Ashcroft for enforcing a law, the Patriot Act, that most Dem's in Washington voted for, to apprehend and prosecute people bent on our destruction while hiding behind spurious use of our constitution?

Interesting perspective...I remember how Janet Reno violated the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution by ordering the early morning raid to get Elian Gonzalez away from his Miami relatives. If that had happened under a Republican administration, we would have never heard the end of it in the mainstream media. When the liberals violate the Constitution, it is all right, but, when Conservatives like Ashcroft, Bush and the like enact legislation to protect the American people, that is bad.

Utlimately, it's the same reason they hate Bush - they are born-again Christians. The spirit of the Left strives against the knowledge of God.

Sure!

Because he's a born-again, witnessing Christian who holds a brief prayer meeting in his office each morning. This truly drives the RATS nuts. LOL

You go John!

[Imagine]

Because John Ashcroft is a confessed Christian. That simple. Renemember the flap over his views against abortion?

Because he's not afraid to call a spade a spade and get to the heart of the matter. John Ashcroft is a very bright man and not much gets by him. The only recourse the liberals have is to ruin him by reputation. By deed, they can't touch him.

[Osage Orange]

I would say it's a couple things....

One, he's a professing Christian.

And he's got an "R" behind his name...

In today's DemoSocialistMarxistClymerLyingLib world that's enough.

They hate John Ashcroft because he is a Christian and says so. The Muslim terrorist hate Christians. Other Muslims lobbyist and Atheist do too.

Y'know, I don't get why the left hates Ashcroft so much as the Attorney General...

Because he's overtly conservative and overtly Christian.
