CSPAN Caller: The Catholics Voted For The Dems Because They Aren't Christian

[matcom]

and are going to hell because they don't know Jesus

:crazy:

Batshit.Fundie.Crazy.

let the religious wars COMMENCE!

[NRaleighLiberal]

1. All we can hope that their "Rapture" comes and collects them all!

[seaglass]

4. I'm hoping that happens. I'd prefer not to occupy the same

planet with these nuts.

[meegbear]

2. I'm sure they're gonna LOVE having Mittens as a candidate ...

:rofl:

[AllieB]

7. Mitt's delusional if he ever thinks these people will vote for a Mormon!

:eyes:

[seaglass]

12. But he's handsome and charismatic and he makes fun of MA.

What's not to love?

[AllieB]

17. His approval ratings are in the toilet here because of that

Even his would-be supporters are angry at him for traveling around the country criticizing Massachusetts. He did nothing as governor, and now he's trying to play politics by witholding 400 million in budget money. :eyes:

[seaglass]

23. I'm from MA. - my smilies aren't working and I only know how

to do one smilie using punctuation :-) I was being sarcastic.

I am well aware of Romney's facade.

[AllieB]

25. He's a soulless Ken Doll

Can't wait until he's gone! :-)

[seaglass]

31. My husband was presented an award by Romney and Healey

a couple years ago (along with a number of his fellow firefighters). Romney had ZERO connection to these guys, it was so obvious that IRL he is not charismatic. He didn't even know enough to shake their hands, Healey had to get him started. I don't like Healey but she is definitely a lot warmer person than Romney could ever be.

He really is made for teevee.

[thepurpose]

3. Even her voice was scary. I thought this lady has to be joking.

[matcom]

9. no joke.

as soon as she started talking I just KNEW what was coming

stereotypes suck but when that slow, southern drawl pipes in on CSPAN you just KNOW what is coming

[lamp_shade]

15. *** CAROL-ANN ***

Remember that lady in Poltergeist. Same voice.

[thepurpose]

19. Yeah!! I thought it reminded me of someone.

[zanne]

5. I just heard that.

From the sound of her voice, she's either an eight year-old or an 88 year-old. (Or possibly developmentally disabled).

[marmar]

6. Livin' la vida loca....

:crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

Now that they've lost the election they can turn their attention to the War on Christmas.

[acmejack]

8. Insanity to the MAX!

Yikes...

[radfringe]

10. lovely

let's divide the country even further...

[kentuck]

11. Wow!

:shrug:

[Bryn]

13. Nay Nay Nay Nay

Fundies ... when you try to talk to them, they shut their eyes, shaking their heads, put fingers in their ears & go nay nay nay nay nay nah nah ... I hate that when my own family and friends do that to me. They got brainwashed from those TV fundie preachers. To me, it's about CONTROL - MONEY - POWER by those fundie preachers - most of them are just fake. They cause mental ill in so many good people.

[Ikonoklast]

14. And every time a fundie nutjob or fire and brimstone

preacher screeches such vitriol the Republic party LOSES more of the Catholic vote.
I hope they piss off every Catholic on Earth.


They religiously insane just can't help themselves. The hatred eventually oozes out and alienates everyone except 'true believers'.

[GOPBasher]

16. You know what's awesome?

These nutcases will NEVER vote for McCain in the primaries, thus depriving the GOP of its most electable candidate.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

43. Most electable...

Yet bat shit crazy. :crazy:

[baby_mouse]

18. LOUDER, fundies, LOUDER!

With every screech, another moderate walks away...

[Skittles]

20. you're neglecting the best part

she said the Iraq war will go on and on no matter WHO is preznit BECAUSE IT'S IN THE F***ING BIBLE. That gal was pure proof thar religious-brainwashing produces mentally ill people.

[AllieB]

21. It's a chicken or the egg scenario

Were they mentally ill before they were brainwashed? After reading John Dean's book "Conservatives Without Conscience", I believe that many of these people with authoritarian mindsets are mentally ill, and the black and white thinking of fundamentalism appeals to their particular brand of insanity.

[Skittles]

37. aw man THANK YOU AllieB

I had made a mental note some time back to read that book and have lately been racking my brain trying to remember what book it was - THANKS!!!

[matcom]

24. LOL missed that I was laughing so hard!

but but but the world is only 5,000 years old! :rofl:

[Skittles]

28. did you see the guest after that?

some Army guy who served a year in Iraq dishing out EVERY repuke talking point imaginable - including that he thinks the jury is still out on "whether Rumsfeld failed the generals or the generals failed Rumsfeld" and COMPARING RUMSFELD TO PATTON. I turned it off at that point - no fucking WAY could this guy be whoring in such a sickening fashion for free, there HAD to be some incentive for his insanity. (NOTE - a caller whined about how out of all the networks, ONLY FOX NEWS HAD THIS PUTZ ON. THERE'S A RED FLAG RIGHT THERE.)

[matcom]

29. I still have the asshole on

and i'm wondering why he isn't BACK in Iraq! the little shit only did 1 term. aren't everyone else on their 2nd or 3rd now?

i think the coward started this bogus group to AVOID going back by bad-mouthing the Generals

[Skittles]

35. yes

according to many entries on www.anysoldier.com, they are on their second, third and sometimes even FOURTH tours - my guess is this schmuck did one tour and is now a paid repuke propaganda whore.

[mrcheerful]

33. He has justified everything about the war according to shrub since the Rummy is Patton

reincarnated thing. We will win!!!!!!!!! When asked what win was he stammered then replied, we are making them love our freedom garbage. Btw, he also stated that we don't need anymore troops over there after one guy pointed out that Saddam needed 1/2 a million troops to keep the country from self destructing into civil war. Oh also Iraq is not going to have a civil war because its only 1/2 a % of iraqis that are dangerous.

[Skittles]

36. there's not much more bush whores can say to make my jaw drop

but Rummy = Patton did

[YellowRubberDuckie]

44. When people start using the bible as a source for their argument...

They automatically lose. The bible is a book of stories NOT to be taken literally. Freaking idiots.
Duckie

[LiberalPartisan]

22. Being a Catholic in the South

I've heard the 'you're not Christian' and 'Catholics worship statues' and 'Catholics believe only good works will get you in to Heaven' on plenty of occasions. People feel comfortable in their ignorance. Unfortunately the leadership of certain very popular denominations in the South feel compelled, for what reason I do not know, to teach lies about the Catholic Faith and thier duped followers feel compelled to spread them.

[LizW]

40. True.

My mom grew up in the 30's and 40's in the south and she says she was always taught that Catholics were not Christian. She said she only learned the truth when she went away to college!

[YellowRubberDuckie]

46. My mother in law was treated like shit in the 50s and 60s...

when she was in school here in Oklahoma. They said she was Godless, an idolater. It's sad people treat each other like that.
Duckie

[YellowRubberDuckie]

45. Because they're pissed they weren't the original church.

They actually teach their followers that Baptist was the original one and only church. :eyes: They don't understand Catholicism and they don't care to.
Duckie

[FlaGranny]

48. Well, you know Catholics DO have

their statues (which they do NOT worship). On the other hand fundies have their velvet Jesus portaits with eyes that follow you. It makes one wonder if 3-dimensional objects are evil, but 2-dimensional objects are godly.

[WernhamHogg]

50. That's not restricted to the South

I am now an athiest, but until my early 20's I was a Catholic. I grew up in a dark blue area of Michigan and I still heard that stupid crap from fundie nuts. Keep alienating everyone, fundies. Keep dividing the support you have left so that you will never be in power again. It sure as hell will make America a better place.

[porphyrian]

26. Yeah, that caller is what out of touch looks like. - n/t

[shaniqua6392]

27. I am a Christian who knows Jesus

and I have always voted for the Dems. I don't mix God and politics. I am pro-choice, pro gay marriage and I am quite comfortable with the way I vote. I am voting for ALL AMERICANS when I vote, not just myself. What is best for my fellow Americans? What is best for those who are poor? Which party does the most for civil rights? It is quite possible to be a Christian Progressive. My whole family and all of my friends are Christian Progressives. There are a lot of us out there. The Democratic Party just needs to tap into this fact. Be the party where all people are welcome, no matter how diverse we are.

[trumad]

30. All those years of Catholic school and Catechism down the drain...

Oh well--- as Billy Joel says--"I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the Saints".

[originalpckelly]

32. The idiots voted for the Republicans, because they aren't smart.

:rofl:

[wellstone dem]

34. I hope the folks that think this say it more and more in connection with politics

Then more Catholics will realize that "next they come for me."

[MessiahRp]

38. Was that Michele Bachmann calling?

Her and her fucked up WELS beliefs...

Rp

[tsuki]

39. That harks back to my youth in the old south. The meme was

you were either Baptist or Communist, and Catholics were definitely Communists.

[GaYellowDawg]

41. That call really raised my ire.

I'm from Georgia. I'm also a Democrat, and my sister's married to a Catholic. That stupid, ignorant asshole of a woman is all too common on the ground here.

[mmonk]

42. These people have had their run.

Time for them to crawl back under the rock they came out from.

[StraightDope]

47. PLEASE tell me that you have an audio/video link!

Pretty Please?

[NaturalHigh]

49. You're kidding.

What kind of mind does it take to even come up with something like that? I'm a Southern Baptist, and I'm married to a Catholic. This is particularly offensive.

[WinkyDink]

51. I taught high school seniors who had to be told how the word "PROTESTant"

originated. Oh, and they didn't know that Lutherans, Methodists, etc. ARE Protestants!
Basically, my retort to any ignorant Protestant is this: Catholics were the FIRST Christians. You guys didn't exist until 1517.
