Democrats, in the name of tolerance, plan to demonize conservative Christians as being like the Taliban, according to an article in Newsweek.

Democrats "are planning a daring assault on the most critical turf in politics: the cultural mainstream," political correspondent Howard Fineman writes.

I believe this is political suicide for the Democrats. Rove said that there were only 12 million conservative evangelical Christians that voted in 2000 and he expected 15 million. If the Democrats employ this strategy you can expect 20 million evangelical Christians to vote in 2002 and 2004.

Unfortunately, many of those same evangelical Christians are quite willing to use the same guilt by association strategy e.g. brand all Muslims as "being like Taliban."

The Democrat Party KNOWS that it has to crack the RED areas of the US Map if they are going to win back the House and the Presidency and hold onto to illegitamely garnished Senate and they know that Christians live in the Red Zone

"Democrats, in the name of tolerance"

Tolerance for who??...For the last half of my life, they have made me feel like I have a lot of nerve for being a White Christian Male as if I have any control over that.

This is news?
I thought some Democrat called conservative Republicans "The Hamas wing of the party"
some time back.
I hope this is just indicative of the old phrase "you can tell who's winning
by who's whining (i.e., the losers)".

Yeah, but how many will get out and vote if things don't go as fast as they want?

It amazes me that people will sit back and let an opponent that is totally committed to their destruction as a voice in America just because things are not happening as quickly as they wanted.

Jews typically vote Democratic, yet, it is the Republican Party which is Israel's staunchest Ally.

Blacks typically vote Democratic, yet, it is the Republicans who freed the Slaves, Intergrated Public Schools and voted in largest percentages to pass the Civil Rights Act.

Huh?....all they have to do is sucessfully steal Floriduh. In all the other important areas their fraud machine is well oiled and ready for a repeat of the last election. It's unfortunate that Ashcroft decided not to investigate and prosecute those who perpetrated such massive election fraud.

This foolhardy happy to be here, let bygones be bygones modus operandi will ensure defeat.

yes and no. people don't like the "blame america left", but they also don't like, and probably with even less tolerance, the "blame america right".

This was not the strategy used by successful Dem candidate for Virginia governor, Mark Warner last fall. His wife went on conservative Christian radio stations and talked about what a great Christian man he is. It might work in the blue states, though.

Hay Cap, you aren't trotting out the tired old row about Muslims all being so innocent and the Taliban "highjacking" a religeon are you?

I urge you to read the Koran and find out the truth for yourself.

And forget the "well, look at the Bible" row too. The Bible is very clear that there is a new way... one that eschews violence. The Koran teaches no such way but violence. I have seen it with mine own eyes.

AND AM SICK AND TIRED OF ALL THE PEOPLE SAYING IT IS ALL SO INNOCENT. PURE BS!

The Demon-RATS had best consult with John McCain, who employed a similar tactic during the primaries, before they burn that bridge.

Some of our LP leaning friends here already do that.

I all most puked when I read this on Drudge! People should be made aware of the fact DemoNcrats dont allow Pro gun and Anti abortion people to speak at their conventions but the republicans allow desenting opinions at their conventions. It seems one party hates free speach. The republicans better fight just as dirty for once. When the Republicans dont fight back it allows the demoNcrats to build the republicans image for them.

Sincerely hope the RATS go ahead with this. Agree with you! Those people that stayed home will be out voting in full force. Looks like the Obstructionist ms. clinton is fully in control of the RAT's agenda because she seems to have a deaf ear when it comes to actual political strategy.

This will backfire just like the Obstructionist daschle agenda which is most likely the brainchild of the Chief Obstructionist ms. clinton! Let's make sure that the word "Obstructionist" and DemocRAT are synonymous!
