CNN published a story at 9:25 a.m. this morning titled "Haley's path to Christianity leaves some evangelicals uneasy." The story informs readers that Nikki Haley, who was raised a Sikh and converted to Christianity, "still attends Sikh services occasionally with her parents and extended family." It’s clearly a trouble-making attempt to gin up controversy among Republicans where there has been almost none, and so was able to find a couple pastors who question whether Haley, the frontrunner in next Tuesday's South Carolina gubernatorial primary runoff, is really a Christian.
At 9:38 a.m., the CNN story was emailed to a colleague by a campaign consultant working for Haley's opponent, Rep. Gresham Barrett.
One strongly suspects this attempt to take the low road won’t work, and Haley will crush Barrett in the runoff next week. But does Gresham Barrett, who has had a good reputation and would seem to have a promising political career still ahead of him, really want to go down this path?

RINOs are not on our side.
Barrett, like Bauer, proves himself unworthy of office.
This is true. Guys like this really need to go, for good.

My question would be: is Mr. Barrett a Christian?
Because this behavior he is allowing, encouraging and/or condoning is decidedly UN-Christian.
Some of these guys that have an "R" after their names here in SC are "NOT" on our side.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC)
... any more questions? :-)
I wonder if this Kristol scoop is as accurate as his scoop he revealed on Fox news on election night that Barrett was dropping out.
Conservative women sure do seem to draw an inordinate amount of personal attacks — more than the guys do, IMO. Imagine if Nikki had been a flaming lib — the MSM would be SCREAMING for heads.
RINOs are just democrats in disguise, we should know the lesson well by now!
“I expect this from the Dems and the MSM not from people on our own side.”
You mean Kristol? I think he’s on HIS side.
So what! When I was a kid, our Christian friends came to all our bar mitzvahs.
It’s a shame that dueling is illegal.
Hey we seem to have people on this very forum who are afraid of conservative women.
At 9:38 a.m., the CNN story was emailed to a colleague by a campaign consultant working for Haley's opponent, Rep. Gresham Barrett.The specificity of the time implies that Kristol has seen the actual email.
Somebody Ping Pissant.
Honor your father and mother.
I read the Wikipedia article on Barrett and wonder why there is such opposition to him from conservatives. Please explain.
