There’s been very little reporting on Obama’s faith?

Well gee Brit, you’re a reporter. Why not get cracking on that?

Sure, Obama’s running for an office which the Founding Fathers said should have no religious tests placed upon it. But why let that stop you? We need to make sure that all presidential candidates have their faith resume dissected by the media.

You could set up a 24 hour news crew around Obama’s church. Place some sort of digital tracker on his bible. Find some way to empirically quantify the man’s faith and make a big faith chart. One of those snazzy Fox-graphics with cool sound effects.

Is it really “an entirely different proposition” to examine how Palin’s religion might affect her governing views?

Especially as Palin’s religious views are flat out nuts. Whether or not you agree with Wright’s seperatist beliefs, at least there’s some logic there but if you reject the thoroughly established Theory of Evolution for the fairy tale creation story you have no business being second in line to run this country.

You get to Fantasyland by registering as a Republican and touting the talking points as gospel. You become a resident by either giving and/or making money off of the cause.

Does anyone know how you get to Fantasyland? Can I drive there? Fly? Do I need an application? Please tell me because it sounds damned nice. Well, not their version of fantasyland, but clearly this is a place where you can create your own reality.

My beliefs are not for the government to consider. I want a fair president, who is not partisan sees all Americans as his constituents.

Nat Says:

This is a very partial transcript on the ABC News website of the Gibson/Palin interview. Hopefully, they’ll release the full interview + video later.
-impeachcheneythenbush

Did he ask her:

Do you finally know what the responsibilities of the vice president are? A little over a month ago you had no idea.

Not in that interview, but there are two more interviews scheduled with Gibson (over the next few days, I believe).

Technically there hasn’t been much reporting on Obama’s religion: there’s been a lot of speculation, conflation, distortion, and lying about his religion. actual reporting, not so much.

Oh, damn, Bobwurst!

I’ve been dealing with this phenomenon with a right-wing friend of mine with whom I correspond via email.

He’s proving incredibly resistant to the concept of treating both sides the same as a matter of fairness.

I think it’s his almost total lack of empathy.

Palin’s religion & church are very scary– they believe the U.S. will be destroyed & Americans who don’t die will flock to Alaska as the last safe haven protected by their God. Say what?? Also she thinks the Iraq war is God-driven. Huh?? She also does not believe in global warming, and denies evolution while promting creationism. Educators be afraid! This is a leader? This is a VP? Let’s hope not, as she will continue the destruction of the U.S. on the world stage. Given all these beliefs, she is really a buffoon, not a leader. Anyone who questions her & demands answers is doing a great service to the country. Her wild, unfounded, unscientific, scatterbrained beliefs need to be brought fore & center for all to examine. Stop with the closeted Palin (she’s so afraid!! Ooohhh- the nasty media wants to interview her!!) & let us all find out who she really is. Cheerleader? Moose hunter? I don’t give a crap– what are her real issues? Besides all the lies she’s been spewing, I mean. Time for some honesty from this unknown, rich elitist, middle class hater – Palin. We need to know more. The fact the Repubs won’t let her talk speaks volumes– they are afraid of what she’ll say unless they prompt her & make her memorize the talking points. Need they reveal more than that?

So the fact that Obama had to denounce him and ‘quit’ the church and find another church, all very publically, has nothing to do with his faith? No discussion of Obama’s faith came up in weeks of coverage dedicated to the implication of one line of a fiery surmon?

Yeah, there should be no discussion of personal faith, which is why Rev. Wright should not be a household name. It’s an entirely different story, standard, the double standard.

Sorry to go off-topic, but there’s another dot to connect.

First, good-paying US jobs become scarcer.
Next, banks and other lending institutions offer to “help”
those families who have lost those good-paying jobs by
offering sub-prime mortgage loans.
After that, the lending institutions jack up the interest rates sky-high; foreclosure notices are sent out soon after.
And then, GOP operatives use lists of foreclosed properties to challenge votes.
