Catholic League president William Donohue commented today on the remarks made about President George W. Bush that are featured on the website of Catholics for Kerry 04:
“The home page of Catholics for Kerry 04 prominently lists comments by Wayne Madsden, who says, ‘George W. Bush’s blood lust, his repeated commitment to Christian beliefs and his constant references to ‘evil doers,’ in the eyes of many devout Catholic leaders, bear all the hallmarks of the one warned about in the Book of Revelations—the anti-Christ.’ He also charges that Bush ‘couples his political fanaticism with a neo-Christian blood cult.’
“This is the language of a demagogue, and it has no legitimate role to play in presidential politics. It is important to note that it is not the position of the Catholic League that the Kerry camp should be held responsible for this group of wacko Catholics. But at the same time, it shows how hypocritical the operatives in the Kerry camp really are.
“For example, it is reported by the Associated Press today that Kerry spokesman Chad Clanton is demanding that President Bush ‘condemn’ a book about John Kerry’s alleged fraudulent behavior in Vietnam, Unfit for Command. Why? Simply because one of authors made anti-Catholic remarks in a chat room last year (for which he has apologized).
“Now according to the logic of the Kerry campaign, it would seem only proper that John Kerry should condemn Catholics for Kerry 04: surely the nexus is tighter in this case than in the chat room quip. Indeed, this Catholic-Kerry website provides a direct link to ‘Contribute to Kerry Online,’ the official donation section of the Kerry-Edwards website.
“The subject of religion has been giving Kerry and the Dems fits lately. We hope their recent discovery of anti-Catholicism, however strained, suggests a new beginning. They can start by hiring a new religious outreach person who doesn’t cavort with anti-Catholics.”
What does "neo-Christian" mean? Is that a slur against Protestants? It sounds like hate speech to me.
But Catholics for Kerry is a Christian group.
If a Protestant was to call John Kerry a "paleo-Christian" (because Catholicism predates Protestantism) I'll bet Catholics would be offended!
Sadly, I have more fun doing that than a grown up should. Nothing makes me giggle more than a ticked off liberal!
By the way, if you go to a big craft store, you can get sheets of magnets. Put the bumper sticker on the magnet, cut around it, and then you have the abilty to take them off it neighborhoods that might stiffle your free speech!
You are correct, and btw only occurs 4 times
1John 2:18 Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that ANTICHRIST cometh, even now there are become many ANTICHRISTs: whereby we know that it is the last hour.
But to be assured someone should publicly ask of him a simple question.
1John 2:22 Who is a liar, but he who denieth that Jesus is the Christ? This is ANTICHRIST, who denieth the Father, and the Son.
