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.

As the WND article points out, had he substituted "blacks" or "Hispanics" for "born-again Christians," Keillor would have been excoriated by his fellow liberals. If he were lucky, he might have gotten a night shift at the NPR station in Duluth or Hibbing after such a statement.

FWIW, Keillor is an apostate Christian. Despite his jokes about Lutherans and Norwegians, he was raised in a family of Scottish and English background that attended a Plymouth Brethren church, an early dispensationalist group.

This from a guy raised in the Plymouth Bretheren.

Taking a cue from one of the FReepers quoted in the article...

"I am now the chairman of a national campaign to pass a constitutional amendment to take the right to vote away from blacks. [enthusiastic audience applause] Just a little project of mine. My feeling is that black people are citizens of Africa, that is where there citizenship is, [laughter] is in Africa, it's not here among us in America. ..."


I'm sure David Duke said something similar, but I don't think he got the enthusiastic audience applause that this guy got.

Typical leftist Christophobe,.

We should get this term into mainstream usage. It's important for people to understand his views and that term sums it up nicely.
