is the American religious left declaring a holy war???
Edited on Mon Feb-07-05 10:20 AM by RPM
OK - just heard this on a radio ad during the Stern show promoting the local 10PM news on a Fox affiliate owned by Sinclair. The voice-over asked

"Is the American religious left starting a political holy war, and if so, what will it mean for you?"

:wtf:

Anyone have any idea what this is all about?!?!?! What possibly could they be latching onto? Or are they openly speculating?

Fucking nasties at Sinclaire....

Edited for spelling and clarity..

1. Perhaps they are dragging out their Environmentalism
as a religion argument.

23. Saw it and this was, of course, closest to the truth...
"Democrats will have to get closer to the Church if they ever hope to win."

Golly, if we only chose Lieberman....

5. The so called Religious Right has been doing it for 50 years.....

7. Religious lefties? Religious Left?
Boy do I want to know what that's all about. I was under the impression we didn't even have a religious left.

10. OMG!
Muslims are supposedly all declaring holy war. The religious left supposedly declares holy war. The only ones who supposedly don't declare it are the conservative Christians whose leader called for a crussade years ago. Give me a break.

15. My wife is at the board meeting of our UU church - she asked me to tape...
If historical patterns apply, that means the right is going to ratchet up THEIR holy war a few notches...

"Liberal Media" = planned RW buyout of the media...

"Accusing Clinton of political murders" = ... well you get the idea

20. Recently, the UCC church had a commercial....
about inclusion not exclusion. And they recently defended Spongebob & welcomed him into their church.....so the talibornagains have to ratchet up their rhetoric to show how terrible the mainstream churches are.
