Jim Wallis: There he goes again – this time Rev. Falwell compares Sen. Clinton to Lucifer
The nation is weary of the vitriolic and divisive political rhetoric that still comes from some on the Religious Right. In particular, the country is tired, truly tired, of Rev. Jerry Falwell. At the Religious Right’s Values Voter Summit, Rev. Falwell said that Hillary Clinton’s run for the presidency would energize the Right’s base more than Lucifer. This is also the man who said the terrorist attacks on 9/11 were God’s judgment on America and he specifically blamed feminists, homosexuals and the ACLU. Agreement or disagreement with Senator Clinton’s politics is not the issue. Personally demonizing public figures is the issue. Such political poison isn’t just bad for the Body Politic and the more civil discourse we so desperately need. It also simply isn’t Christian.?
Can I just vent a little here?
YES!!!!!!!!
Ahhhh That’s better…. Thank you.
We are all brothers and sisters, if not in the same faith, then in the same world. All but the most recalcitrant who have embraced evil as a way of life deserve respect. I do not appreciate, nor do I have any particular fondness for G Bush, but he is a human being and our President. He deserves the respect any human being would deserve. Unles he is one of the recalcitrant who have embraced evil as a way of life – but I seriously doubt that, secret prisons and sexual torture of enemy combatants notwithstanding.
OK, so this is the “State” part of FugueStateKnits. OH well.
