Palin, Steele and Other Conservative Christians Not ‘Normal’? More Hypocrisy from ‘Hardball’
Fox Forum ^ | 3-27-09 | S. E. Cupp

Posted on 03/27/2009 2:08:52 PM PDT by VinL

Chris Matthews, along with Lois Romano of the Washington Post and David Corn of Mother Jones, devoted 10 minutes of last night’s “Hardball” to lamenting the religiosity of Republicans.

“Why does everything sound like the 700 Club?” Matthews flippantly probed his like-minded panelists. The criticism came in response to recent sound bites from Sarah Palin and Michael Steele — two very popular go-to targets of the left. [snip]

“Suspicious” is a good characterization of the liberal attitude toward Christianity. The media was “suspicious” of Palin throughout the campaign, accusing her of speaking in tongues, and admonishing her for her pro-life position.

Mind you, neither Palin nor Steele were talking about the sinister ways in which they’d like to inject their voodoo brands of religion into the lives of others. Nor were they suggesting that Christianity play a more prominent role in politics writ large. They were simply acknowledging their own faith — how dare they.

Meanwhile discussion of Obama’s “church” of 20 years or his mother’s agnosticism were completely off limits during (and after) the campaign.

Gee, Chris why does everything you say sound like the 666 club?

No, we’re not “normal”. We’re not supposed to be “normal”...certainly not in the way that the irreligious left sees normal.

Of course we’re not normal to Matthews and gang. They and their friends are not exactly playing with a full deck...else they’d be doing something useful in this world.

You know, it really burns me about these sneering, know-it-all fools and I’m not just a little concerned about Sarah and her family. The thing I really do appreciate however is that Sarah ran and has absolutely driven the Left out of it’s collective mind.

But the deranged can be dangerous too.

I think these three pixies use their Christianphobia as a way of keeping their “inner child’s” homophobia from escaping.

Is it always a slow news day over at MSNBC - or are they going to change their name to PALINWATCH TV?

ummmm, yeah.....

Chrissy is so pissed off about his pay cut and lack of audience that he will throw any form of verbal molotov cocktail in order to get attention - or get revenge.

I think he needs to takes Chuck Grassleys advice seriously. Or at least admit he has no honor.

Christians are not normal - they are exceptional!

America used to be exceptional too, back when it was more Christian!

“Why does everything sound like the 700 Club?”

Consider the source, simply more childish comments from a big mouthpiece for a small mind. How he still rates a paycheck is mind-boggling.

Looks like Chris Matthews is having another tingly feeling again..he worked for the Carter Administration, need I say more..So Chris, you don’t believe in God, that’s fine, I’ll pray for you..I have a strong faith in God, I put my life in God’s hands, whatever he believes is the best for me is the way that I feel and I pray on daily basis, so I guess that means I’m not “normal” screw you Matthews, and Obama’s “peace and harmony” church is normal..give me a break
