Speaking in the aftermath of the presidential election, Democrat radio host Garrison Keillor says he is on a quest to take away the right of born-again Christians to vote, saying their citizenship is actually in heaven, not the United States.
Keillor, host of the popular National Public Radio show "A Prairie Home Companion," made the comments during a speech at Chicago's Rockefeller Memorial Chapel and during his radio monologue the Saturday after the election.

More 'inclusive tolerance' from the Liberals.
you should send this as an Op Ed to the Twin Cities rags.
We Christians aren't only dual citizenships, the liberals have a home in hell...and if we can't vote neither can they, unless the devil is on the ticket. Not accepting Jesus makes one an automatic citizen of hell....so guess the moron on the radio doesn't understand the facts.
Popular!? Yeah, right. I imagine there are conveniently no Arbitron figures to back up this contention. Popular amongst left wing media boobs maybe, but no one else.
------------------Time for research------------------
I looked it up on Google and found this in a press release:
Arbitron estimates that "A Prairie Home Companion" has 4.1 million listeners.
This is probably cumulative, like, over the life of the show.
"Our cat Spike died 1 month later, and Spike is also in the panel."
I hope that he means that figuratively and not literally...
I actually had a liberal friend say something very similar like that to me. I just laughed and said I just love it when the left shows their fascist side She was very taken aback by this but after some thought she agreed it was "a little fascist" but "something really had to be done about the problem of the religious right." I told her freedom of speech was for everyone not just the people she agreed with. She said I was giving her a headache and there had to be a right wing trick somewhere in what I was saying but she just couldn't figure it out right now. I told her it was no trick just that pesky little thing called the Bill of Rights and maybe she should reread it before deciding who may or may not voice an opinion.

Garrison Keillor should not have been born the first time!
If only....................
Perfect!
Don't take Keillor seriously...he IS a maroon!
...Keillor said. "Last night I spent my time crouched in a fetal position, rolling around and moaning in the dark."
Another manly liberal, I see.
That PBS is partially funded by taxpayers makes this especially irksome.
The thing is, if the Left simply refrained from using the judiciary to impose on the entire nation what they can only win democratically in a few states then the passions of religious conservatives would no be so inflamed.
Thought I'd do a pre-emptive ping before you ping me.
And yes, I my dad and I still love A Prairie Home Companion, and I really hope we always do. ;~D
Part of what is funny about people are the things they think aren't funny.
It's worth noting that he came out of a very religious, Plymouth Brethren background and has been in rebellion against it his whole life long. That's sort of the hidden shadow of his life. He's gone to great lengths to get away from his actual roots, and it's natural that he gets very neurotic about any perceived threat to the world and identity that he has created for oneself.
This guy needs dental Depends to help with the verbal diahrea.
About a year ago, Keillor brought part of his show team to Florence SC to help raise money for the new Florence library. He put on quite a dazzling show complete with song, stories, jokes, etc. Imagine this, the Florence convention center had about 2000 or so (mostly hard core lefty liberals), and the first thing he does is sing, "Dixie". He did the song really well, you could hear a pin drop while he sang it. Then, he got a huge applause. I have to give this guy credit no matter how he leans day in day out. He made a comment that many would think the song politically uncorrect, but he loved it no matter what.
I have traveled to see his show many times. Always in big halls, and always sold out.
He tells stories about people I love, many now departed but he can bring them back for me. I love his stories, and they are one of the really special things I can share with my normally un-emotional father. Yes, his show is still popular.
Oh no, I thought about it and rejected it; thought about it and rejected it; and thought about it and rejected it.
But you could hear me thinking it!
I don't understand your last statement. You think what he said is funny? What do you think about it? What could he say that *would* lose you?

Keilor is a liberal facist and hate monger.
