(150 posts)These people have no sense of anything, shame, propriety, perspective, history and last but not least, humor!!! They are completely filled and consumed with hatred for everything they view as the 'other'.

(8,301 posts)A Greek Orthodox church in Portland on Friday yanked permission for the Multnomah County Republican Party to hold a Lincoln Day fundraising dinner tied to a controversial gun raffle.
The Multnomah County GOP received national attention earlier this week when it announced it would raffle off an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle in honor of "two great Republicans" -- Abraham Lincoln and civil rights leader Martin Luther King -- both of whom had been killed by gun-wielding assassins.
