Jesus was clearly a moonbat DFH. He was against wealth, religiousity, prayer in schools and killing other people, whether in war or by execution.

He told people to pay their taxes (render unto Caesar) and he healed the sick without questioning anyone as to whether they deserved it or could afford it. He fed the hungry, and preached forgiveness, not retribution. He told people to mind their own business, not their neighbor’s.

It’s obvious that many of the leaders of the so-called Christian Right have been corrupted by the big money wing of the GOP. Why else would they be opposed to protected the environment of the world God made? How else could they advocate waging war in the name of the Prince of Peace?

She’s in a tough spot. She’s a creature of the south park republicans who’s not selling to them any more, so she’s positioned herself as a fervent christian. Unfortunately, the people who contract for conservative books don’t want Huckabee, so she’s having to portray herself as appalled by how he’s less intolerant than she is.

I’m not sure who that’s supposed to appeal to, but apparently she thinks they buy books.

And jest as all the gays were considering her a camp vamp she comes out with this swill. They’s not gonna invite her to anymore parties!

If Fox has written her off, she’s dependent on advertising, and her traffic flow depends on nativists.

I’m too much of a cynic not to think there’s a connection.

Malkin is a fervent nativist (and a big Thompson supporter, apparently) and she hasn’t forgiven Huckabee.

Oh, no. I’m starting to like Mike a bit more.
