Here Gerson's making up how this "issue" occurred and what Walker said.

The Obamamedia is still working to make it more of a "chest wound" than a "paper cut" [when in fact, it's looking more like a gold star].

Billy Graham shows by how he lives that he is a Christian.

For Walker, this is more of a paper cut than a chest wound. But it can’t be good for the Republican Party, which some Americans associate with religious exclusivity, for a front-runner to sound religiously exclusive.

The illogic is stunning.

Funny how the left uses religious arguments to support the Imperial godless state.

Barack Obama loves America the way that Arlo Guthrie, Pete Seeger, and Abbie Hoffman loved America.

And he is a Christian the same way that William Sloane Coffin was a Christian.

To the left, “America” and “Christianity” are simply bundles of semiotics that should be manipulated to make collectivist ideas palatable to non-intellectuals.

“Walker’s Baptist upbringing—he is the son of a pastor—does put a particular emphasis on the personal acceptance of Christ.”

It’s interesting the author goes back to Walker’s upbringing to define his religious affiliation. If we go back to Obama’s upbringing, we must conclude he’s a Muslim.

But here Obama has been as forthright as anyone could be. “I am a Christian, and I am a devout Christian,” he said in a 2008 Christianity Today interview. “I believe in the redemptive death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. I believe that that faith gives me a path to be cleansed of sin and have eternal life. But most importantly, I believe in the example that Jesus set by feeding the hungry and healing the sick and always prioritizing the least of these over the powerful. I didn’t ‘fall out in church’ as they say, but there was a very strong awakening in me of the importance of these issues in my life. I didn’t want to walk alone on this journey. Accepting Jesus Christ in my life has been a powerful guide for my conduct and my values and my ideals.”

Zero is not exactly being forthright. It's a nice soundbite from the chief liar, but his "fruits" are non-existent.

But it can’t be good...

Let us know when Gerson writes about Orgy Island.

For Gershon to cite this as proof-positive of Obama's faith is patently absurd. Devout Christians go to church regularly, or at least often. Obama does neither. You can count the number of times Obama has attended a Christian Church on one hand. His attendance so bad, the MSM had to step up and make excuses why he couldn't always go.

This innuendo is not sticking. The illogical nature of this “have you stopped beating your wife “ bull merd isn’t working anymore because we look at what is happening now with King Bozo and we know what the media fabricated for 7 years. We have all had enough of the crap, Mr, Gerson.

Why is The Left suddenly so enamored with Christianity?

Am I right, Tim Tebow? Up high!

This is the Bush team sending out the attack dogs. I though Jebbie was above all this. The Bushes need to go away.

Questioning this affirmation involves a serious charge . . .

Almost like questioning the commitment the Obamessiah made to real marriage at that same point in his political career.

Walker quickly found his pitch unequal to the presidential big leagues.

Does not he wish! The reporter should find out the answer to that question by asking the President, not you or anybody else!

The leftists continue to look for something that has traction. Walker is a winner!

There is no journalism under this regime, just folks who want to get on the socialist government payroll as propagandists.

Good points, CW. Bishop Spong apparently claims to be a Christian, too, right? So do many abortion doctors...men who chop babies into little pieces or suck their brains out with vacuums.

A PROFESSION of faith does not necessarily mean a POSSESSION of faith. Fruit follows the root.

Walker has clearly wounded the left. They are unable to deal with the rope-a-dope of a republican who won’t bring the ammo for his own mugging.

“I am a devout Christian”

That’s a lie.

Billy Graham says what he believes and is open and honest.

I believe Michael Gerson used to work for the Bushes. He has obviously received his marching orders from Jeb, who will only have a decent word for anyone and anything conservative when he needs our votes. He will never get mine.
