In reply to the discussion: Chris Matthews screwed up a bit tonight... [View all]pnwmom
(110,254 posts)24. You're the dining room table. The OP you directly responded to said:
"There are already quite a few Catholics that are close to Obama in the White House administration: VP Joe Biden, WH Chief of Staff McDonough, HHS Sec Sebelius, Sec of Labor Perez, Sec of Agriculture Vilsak - Sec of State John Kerry, National Security Advisor Tom Donilon -- and probably many others (not all cabinet folks have their religion listed on Wikipedia)."
And then you responded:
"Great! Our government is run by people who believe in the sky fairy.
"No wonder we are destroying the planet."
Any thinking person would conclude you were trying to disparage Catholics, especially those in the Obama administration, as people who were "destroying the planet."

Don't you mean moving the embassy so it is a little closer to the Vatican, and not closing it.

I always get the feeling that Chris thinks the Catholic Church should get special attention.

I see the difference and what you suggest doesnt at all express what I feel.

Pretty stupid Matthews comment - as it involved an embassy, the cabinet member is John Kerry
