Fox News: Obama’s Comments About Christians Were ‘Verbal Rape’

President Obama‘s comments about Christians getting on their “high horse” were so offensive to columnist Star Parker that, on Sean Hannity‘s show tonight, she called them “verbal rape.”

She explained, “We were not expecting it, nobody wanted it, it was horrible to sit through, and after it was over we all felt like crap.”

Geraldo Rivera found that to be too “harsh,” but Parker insisted that was what it was. She said the point of the prayer breakfast is to “unify,” and instead Obama was too “arrogant” to stick to that message.

Parker also made the pretty strong claim that Obama was sending a message to Muslim terrorists to “keep doing what you’re doing over there in the Middle East.”

trying to convince the far religious right we loved them and wanted to be more like them.

Strict separation of church and state was Jefferson's view and our Constitution is based largely on the one he had written for Virginia. He certainly had his unspeakably heinous shortcomings, but he was correct about this one.

They keep using that word, but I do not think it means what they think it means.

Someone expressed an opinion without her consent and it penetrated her head putting her in danger of having thought-babies?

Such an awkward metaphor.
