PREACHER TO DEAN: YOU CAN'T FAKE IT! (Left Leaning Preacher tells Dean to Shut Up about Religion!)
U.S. News and World Report ^ | 7/11/05

Posted on 07/11/2005 7:58:35 AM PDT by areafiftyone

As if mouthy Howard Dean didn't have enough troubles, now comes a left-leaning evangelical, much in demand by the Democratic Party, telling the party boss to shut up about religion. "Dean doesn't understand religion very much," says Jim Wallis, who has advised many Democratic leaders. He meets with Dean this week as part of the chairman's effort to woo the churchgoing crowd. Now promoting his book God's Politics: Why the Right Gets It Wrong and the Left Doesn't Get It, Wallis says he'll tell Dean not to fake it on religion. "The worst thing people could do is be inauthentic," he says.

It did not take a preacher to figure that out -- a child could do that. Dean and the DNC are just plain, old fashioned idiot socialists...(yawn)

Speaking of Dr. Demento, he's been strangely silent the last week or so. Did his handlers increase his meds? Or did George Soros tell him to cool it until the new talking points are ready?

Howard Dean talking like a Christian would be like Bush wearing baggy pants, gold chain and gold tooth and trying to act like a homie to attract black voters.

Whaddaya mean, Dean is very religious. Didn't he tell us that Job was his favorite book in the New Testiment?

To which Dean replied, "Ah ... yer mudder wears combat boots ... and you ain't never done an honest days work in yer life."

It'll be interesting to see how much influence this Jim Wallis fellow can generate for himself in the dimwad party. Several months ago, CSPAN showed him speaking at some dimwad function. He received tepid applause for his views on how to make dimwads more appealing to the religious center of the country. Then the next speaker after him was the skank president of NOW. She pretty much told Wallis to go pound sand. The dimwad crowd ate it up.

Nope, the only religion that will prevail for the dimwads is the angry god of abortion.

Wallis appears after the left makes a new fake christian group?

Wallis is a schill and does not know anything. I have seen a number of his interviews, while looks don't count, he just loooks creepy.

It also helps that his entire premise is dead wrong. It seems this article is just to buy credibility for Wallis.

Thanks for offending me, a Black voter, who voted for Bush for the last 2 elections..... your comment was ridiculous, but I'll be okay after a little while.

Oh, but he, Wallis, does get it. Pretty presumptuous it seems to me. And who, by the way, is the "right."
