Howard Dean asked and evangelical how she could vote for him since he was sure, since she was an evangelical Christian, she wouldn't agree with his stance on civil rights for all Americans and the right of a woman to choose the health care she desired.
Dean comment sound more Brain-Dead than anything else.
It is freaky. Ban Jews. Persecute Christians as hateful. It reminds me of the era shortly before WWII and Hitler invading Poland, when voices out of Germany and other places, even the US, warned of Hitler and prejudice against Jews (first and later others), but much of it fell on deaf ears. Not Hitler though, who exiled or jailed or had sent to the camps those who voiced dissent, even before he invaded Poland. Some of us see it and it is freaky. All the deaf ears, content to party with Nero while the city is set ablaze. And Dean's a nut. I wouldn't vote for him because he is a nut and not because I am a Christian woman.
When I first heard of this, I thought it was a joke, laughable at least, the work of a leftie nutjob kook outside the realm of the regular government or vowed antisemite, but it's the actual government and some of the regular people of Russia (who apparently are leftie nutty antisemites) behind it.
