Mo Dowd Bitchslaps the Cabal of Christo-Fascist Freaks
You'd think the one good thing about merging church and state would be that politics would be suffused with glistening Christian sentiments like "love thy neighbor," "turn the other cheek," "good will toward men," "blessed be the peacemakers" and "judge not lest you be judged."

Yet somehow I'm not getting a peace, charity, tolerance and forgiveness vibe from the conservatives and evangelicals who claim to have put their prodigal son back in office.

I'm getting more the feel of a vengeful mob - revved up by rectitude - running around with torches and hatchets after heathens and pagans and infidels.

One fiery Southern senator actually accused a nice Catholic columnist of having horns coming up out of her head!

5. I disagree
Her spin on the Iraq "war" has been pretty consistent from tbe beginning.

10. That answer would be
No. I wasn't reading Dowd in those days. What was she saying about Clinton?

2. Love the response to Zell
He had called her a New York hussy and said she had horns showing through her red hair.

3. zell is Hell.
I know modowd puts her damn finger in the wind but she's gotta live in New York City with this bunch in power again and I know she voted for Kerry.

She makes a damn fine point about the godless creatures who are taken credit for putting the anti-Christ back in the so-called power seat. We'll see how much damage he does to the World in the upcoming days,months, and years.

4. I like Mo
She throws zingers at our side too, kinda like Letterman. Equal opportunity bashing.

Plus, she's really sexy!

9. The Beatitudes are not part of the evangelical game.
Edited on Sat Nov-13-04 10:24 PM by higher class
But Christmas is coming and they will put their hypocritical banners out on their churches that reads 'Peace on Earth' and then they will send their hypocritical Christmas cards that say Peace on Earth and Joy to the World and Hark the Herald Angels Sing and __________(fill in your favorite hypocritical song title here)____________.

And Bush will fly to Germany to visit the soldiers who are so critically wounded that they can't be flown home. But, before that he might send a planeload of turkeys to Iraq for Thanksgiving.

And the RPNs (Republican Propaganda Networks) will have little Christmas decorations on their tables and screens and they won't tell us how many are dead or that they helped steal the vote.

14. Ugh- Her media book tour exposed her as a whiny self absorbed opportunist
She said Bush was "sweet"- give me a fuckin break- I won't read her anymore- she is somewhat hot however- kind of a moral dilemma

15. Okay, this is so yesterday for me. I'm yawning because the
media is only now getting it out into the mainstream that the conservatives aren't the pious Peters they claim to be. Yawn, bore, yawn.
