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.

This guy is out there. He and Stewart Smalley are two peas in a pod.

Liberals shouldn't have the right to vote, either. They're "world citizens", not American citizens.

[Unam Sanctam]

Your basic anti-Christian left-wing hate speech.

[1stFreedom]

Damn.. guess I'm gonna have to give up that show..

[pissant]

and born agains don't think alcholic, has-been, lying commentators should be able to vote. They are citizens of hell.

[Wonderama]

Ha, read all the way to the end. Freeps are mentioned and are apparently much funnier than Garrison K.

[Right Cal Gal]

Everytime we think we've lost the argument to stop funding NPR -- look! One of them opens their dumbass mouths.

Keep talking, Garrison - can't wait to see what the Bible Belt Republicans will do to keep your pisspot of a show going, 'cause they sure aren't part of the "Viewers Like YOU" brigade.....

[rejoicing]

The man is an idiot........a REALLY, unattractive, bug-eyed idiot!!!

[Yak]

. . . saying their citizenship is actually in heaven, not the United States

Actually, I consider myself a "dual citizen", at least while I'm living on this earth.

[JessieHelmsJr]

I love it! let em keep on.They just further the cause.

[Tempest]

Ohhh another charming bit of tolerance and respect for opposing viewpoints coming from the left.

[JustAnotherOkie]

Yep, me too.

These guys can't see anything but how they are affected by their speech.

I do now believe Liberalism is a mental disease.

[WinOne4TheGipper]

I like that they got a mention of us in there at the end.

[Fitzcarraldo]

Another proponent of the new facism stands up to be counted.

[Minnesocold]

"I'm good enough, I'm strong enough..."

[gorush]

...and I want to take the vote away from liberals...we'll compromise...everybody votes.

[Freepdonia]

Born-agains should not have right to vote

People that look like owls should sit in trees and go "Hoot!"

[k2blader]

According to a transcript of the show, Keillor said, "I am now the chairman of a national campaign to pass a constitutional amendment to take the right to vote away from born-again Christians. [enthusiastic audience applause] Just a little project of mine. My feeling is that born-again people are citizens of heaven, that is where there citizenship is, [laughter] is in heaven, it's not here among us in America. ..."

Typical leftist Christophobe.

[Spok]

The lefties notion of democracy-ever nonjudgemental, all-inclusive and tolerant.

The very bizarre Keillor is pseudo-mellow an oh-so-sweet on his endless and boring (and tax dollar supported) "Prairie Home Companion" National Public Radio show.

Outside of this venue his truly evil and vicious persona emits, like methane form a rotting landfill.
