>We have to realize there's not just a media bias, but in many cases there is media hatred toward anything Conservative, Christian or Traditional<

For over thirty years Americans have been warned this was developing, but did nothing. Is it now too late to reverse this Communistic trend?

From an NPR reporter carrying the water for the party of tolerance and compassion:

"You're evil, horrible people. You're awful people," she said, identifying herself only as "Rachel." "You represent horrible ideas. God hates you and He wants to kill your children. You should all burn."

WHYY reporter Rachel Buchman and Laurel Touby love the camera; hate voicemail.

I prefer the Bible's take. It states there that for Christians, ". . . it is better to marry than to burn."

[Squantos]

Hmmmmm so I wonder how long it takes Rachel to clean a carpet ?

I thought it was just a conservative lobbying group. What is the Christian connection here?

I have listened to the voice mail message. It is inexcusable. But FOF is overplaying their hand when they allege that Buchman's rant was against Christians.

This was in response to the email she received from LaptopLobbyist.com, and she didn't indicate that the "people" that "should burn in hell" were Christians per se -- just the people who want to stop the trend toward "gay rights." I would concede that's what she meant if there was evidence. But there is not. None at all.

In addition to that, I found an audio link to an August 2004 report Buchman did about Ocean City, NJ -- a resort town founded by Methodist ministers -- on the WHYY website. The report is entitled "Christianity Down the Shore."

Based on the title of the FOF piece, one might think they know what to expect from Buchman's story. Well, one would be wrong. Buchman told of the city's origins as a religious retreat and its evolution into its current state in an informative, respectful manner. Maybe a touch of sarcasm? Nope. Buchman played it right down the middle.

This is eerily reminiscent of the attempt to smear Dr. Laura Schlessinger -- then a practicing Orthodox Jew -- as an "anti-Christian bigot" because she agreed with a caller's objection to specific references to Jesus Christ in PTA meetings'group prayers.

Making an inference that Ms. Buchman's disgusting display of intolerance was based in a hateful bias against Christians is unwarranted. Focus on the Family should know better than to puff this up to worse than it was.

Shades of Russia, circa 1905. Where are the Putin haters now?
In Russia, this would be a crime and the offender would be in court.

"We want people to know that this is not an isolated incident," he said. "People have to realize there's not just a media bias, but in many cases there is a media hatred, toward anything conservative, Christian or traditional."

This is it.

I'm wondering what your thoughts are about this vermin, Joanie.

[NormB]

Can you say, "Hate Crime"?

I love how anyone can say anything anti-Christian and noone gives a rip.

We should burn? Guess we've been there and done that in the past. We can expect persecution in the future, too, no doubt.
