LEFTIST Jewish activist Michael Lerner...

For the life of me, I will never understand Jews.

Campolo is the guy walking with Clinton.

Left-wing evangelist Tony Campolo and leftist Jewish activist Michael Lerner are organizing a new manifesto calling for the U.S. to “repent” and “apologize” for the Iraq war, eagerly collecting funds to publish the appeal in major newspapers across the nation.

And, I might add, supporting themselves without having to get a real job.

Just for the record, "welfare" and "charity" are voluntary gestures by individuals who wish to live by example, freely given from income from honest work.

Anything else that's forced is simply legalized extortion.

I reject that concept without exception.

Campolo, forever etched alongside the cynical-tear-wiping Bilk Linton at Ron Brown’s funeral, evangelical (my ass), should join the other duplicitous evangelical, Ted Haggard, for some sensitive touchy-feely. As an evangelical who means it, I seriously resent this.

[avacado]

"Called “An Ethical Way to End the War in Iraq,” Campolo and Lerner want America to give up in Iraq immediately and pay reparations for her crimes."

My plan calls for Campolo and Lerner to go live in Iraq after we pull out!

[I see my hands]

I'm not a Christian and I dislike Tony C.. But If you get a chance to hear a recording of his sermon: "Today's Friday, but Sunday is coming", do so. A great piece of oratory.

“Left-wing evangelist”

Of which the Reverend Jim Jones is the appalling archetype for our time.

[Red Badger]

Instead of Left-Wing Luminaries, why not ask the heads of House and Senate? Or are they too chicken? (either one).........

Interesting.

But I have a few questions. The premise, I suppose, is to get out of Iraq and give them lots of money as a way to say sorry.

First question: pay who? Without the US forces there, the Iraqi government will likely fall in short order. Do we simply drop stocks, bonds and chunks of gold from a high altitude?

Another question: if leaving Iraq is the moral thing to do, and say if the prevailing theories about factionalizing are true (resulting in a bloodbath and / or genocide when one of the factions gains the upper hand), is genocide therefore moral?

God, I hate these written daydreams from fantasyland. An idiot holding a cross is still an idiot.

2 million Iraqis will die in the aftermath of orur leaving, not that Tony cares.
