Donahue, the president of the Catholic League and an ardent defender of Christmas in what he believes is a secular "war" against the holiday, told hosts of the Fox and Friends morning program that the ad had gone too far."The whole idea is to give the appearance of a cross," he said, "and this is just injecting religion into politics even too far for guys like me."
Asked if the ad was "too much," Donahue said it was.
"Because there's a pattern here," he added. "Every other word out of [Huckabee's] mouth is that 'I'm Christian.' He's calling into question Romney's Mormonism...let people talk about their faith, but don't sell it on your sleeve."
Added Donahue, "Yeah, I believe in freedom of speech and freedom of religion, but don't become a salesman. Don't hawk it like that on the street."
The Catholic League president suggested that Huckabee was relying on his faith too heavily as a campaign tactic.
"If it was just the Christmas ad, I wouldn't have one complaint about it," he said. "But when you juxtapose that with all these other kinds of things, there's a subliminal message there, and it's all done intentionally...what he's trying to say to the evangelicals in Western Iowa is 'I'm the real thing.'"
"You know what?" concluded Donahue. "Sell yourself on your issues, not on what your religion is."
Rudy’s broken record is: “9/11. 9/11. 9/11. 9/11.”
Romney’s is: “Forget I’m a Mormon. Forget I’m a Mormon.”
Huckabee’s is: “I’m a real Christian. I’m a real Christian. Forget I’m a liberal.”
Thompson is just shaking his head, thinking, “I can’t believe I’m losing to these guys.”
But it's just fine to pray to an image of Christ on plant pot
‘bout what I’d expect from the catholic league.
Even if he was is that so bad?
Sounds like this guy doesn't know much about Christianity...And even less about Jesus...
