GOP Congressman Calls Democrats Anti-Christian
Remarks in Floor Debate Stir Protest

Business on the floor of the House was halted for 45 minutes yesterday after Rep. John N. Hostettler (R-Ind.) accused Democrats of "denigrating and demonizing Christians," prompting a furious protest from across the aisle.

The House was debating a Democratic amendment to the annual defense appropriations bill that would have required the Air Force Academy to develop a plan for preventing "coercive and abusive religious proselytizing."

Hostettler, speaking against the amendment, asserted that "the long war on Christianity in America continues today on the floor of the House of Representatives" and "continues unabated with aid and comfort to those who would eradicate any vestige of our Christian heritage being supplied by the usual suspects, the Democrats."

"Like a moth to a flame, Democrats can't help themselves when it comes to denigrating and demonizing Christians," he said.

1. Dont Forget

Hostettler was last in the news in April 2004 when airport security officers found a registered semiautomatic handgun on him. He said he had forgotten about the gun and received a suspended sentence after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor.

2. He retracted his comments...This guy is definitely an extremist.

He literally speaks like he speaks for all christians, and is obsessed.

[GreenArrow]

3. he's a total reactionary

The "war" is not on Christians, but on hypocrites.

As an interesting aside, Hostelter voted against IWR -- and was reelected.

It points out how stupid the Christian persecution complex is.
