I am no Huck fan by a longshot, but you are right. It was just political jarring and pretty harmless as far as that goes.
It seems a lot of Fredheads have a distaste of Christians ever since Focus on the Family leader had the audicity to mention that Fred didn't darken the door of a church, and hadn't in a long time.
Fred didn't handle that very well, and futher wedged himself from mainstream popcorn Christians when he started saying things like "I don't wear my faith" etc....
I myself take the issue very seriously, though I see myself as a step or two above the average "popcorn" Christian (thus why I support Duncan Hunter)... IMHO.. Fred Thompson didn't care to reach out to me and other Christians whatsoever, and that was unacceptable.. what a shame, cause with a minimum of effort, he could of made some great allies. I think Fred would of been wise to not have "dissed" Christian voters, because whether they (FR member included) like it or not, the Christian right is a large chunk of voters that can sway elections even to this day. Huck can attest to that, you don't spit in the wind. I just wish Huck had have the track record Fred has vote wise.
Lessons learned... sometimes the hard way...
Just my two cents...
“I think Fred would of been wise to not have “dissed” Christian voters”
I find that interesting. I am a Christian voter and have never felt dissed by Fred. I have however been offended by the way Huck is campaigning...touting his Christian creds but acting in a way far more aligned with the corrupt Clintons from Arkansas. When you obfuscate records, to me thats thats outright lying.
Freds record stands on his pro-life commitment, and his record is something that Huck has yet to confront...Why? he cannot.
What Big Jim Dobson did was declare from a distance that Fred's not a Christian.
Not only is that audacity, it's asinine and very un-Christian.
As for Fredheads having a distaste or Christians, are you kidding?
The vast vast majority of Fred's supporters and voters ARE Christian, like Fred himself.
