@258. sean craig:
“You left out the most significant factor in the smear of Sarah Palin. The MSM Media is secularist to the core; they hate evangelical Christianity.”
I don’t think you will have a lot of luck proving this. Nobody I know hates evangelical Christianity – but most of the people I know would prefer that our government not be run by religious zealots. Evangelism is the problem more than the Christianity – I respect your choice to pursue your religious beliefs so long as they are not imposed on me.
I think people miss the point of Christianity when they claim ownership of God and the right to judge their fellow men. Christ’s message of love and understanding bears no resemblance to the typical conservative church rhetoric.
“In short, they hate God. Sarah shouldn’t take it personally; the MSM hate Christ.”
I think the problem is that there are many ways to express love and admiration for Christ, but that evangelical religion, by its very nature, steps on people’s toes. I don’t mind if you want to share some good news, but when the bible-thumpers start preaching fire and brimstone, or spreading their unique brands of intolerance, the connection to Christ is lost.
It is very far fetched to say that the MSM hate God, or hate Christ. I think what people really hate is someone telling them how to worship – that’s simply un-American. Palin’s portrayal has very little if anything to do with her religion – it is her ‘intelligence’ that truly worries folks.
Peace.
