Revised Tea Party Gospel: "Suffer the little children come unto me. Unless they're undocumented kids from Central America."

Much easier to be a Christian when the little children aren't in your back yard, isn't it?


Best-selling author Stephen King has called out Tea Party types and Christians on Twitter, suggesting they’re hypocrites on immigration. Some of them weren’t too happy.

King doesn’t tweet much (only 323 so far) but he has a lot of followers (477,000), and at the moment he’s in a tweet-fight with his Tea Party foes over the current crisis over thousands of Central American children arriving unaccompanied at the border.

Although King’s contempt for Tea Party politics is not new, his comments on the (latest) border crisis brought out a flurry of angry and/or profane tweets from people who called him hypocritical or clueless or both.

.@StephenKing on the issue of illegal immigration, you're in the minority. You understand this, right?

Conservative pundits, such as Glenn Beck, also bashed him in regular media.

“This is a guy who said that I was Satan’s mentally challenged younger brother,” Beck said on his radio show today. “Of course he’s not going to recognize our effort. … He can’t get past his hate.”

Beck has nearly 900,000 followers on Twitter and has sent out nearly 7,000 tweets.
