GOP Rep. Hostettler MUST Be Censured "Dems... Demonizing Christians"!
Edited on Mon Jun-20-05 04:22 PM by cryingshame
During a discussion about the Air Force Academy and it's forced indoctrination of Christianity... this is the extreme statement Representative Hostettler (Indiana) made:

He said "Like a moth to a flame, Democrats can't help themselves when it comes to denegrating and demonizing Christians."

If they can bitch about Durbin and force him to issue a public regret and then ask for his censure, we can do the same here. AND score political points by showing how these people THINK they have the sole understanding of the faith but in reality are FAKE Christians.

2. That's what he said
I heard that and I was outraged. I agree with a censure.

3. Hostettler withdrew his words.
And the matter was set aside.
But not before the whole House erupted.

Pigs Repugs!

5. Only the Last sentence, "Like moths to the flame..."
Just the last sentence, which was bad, but the previous statement characterizing dems as attacking christianity still was in the record.

4. It's over and done with
It's not as if they replay these things on the news, much less from a non-name Congressman. It may show up somewhere in print, but it'll just be that good old liberal bias taking someone out of context.

9. They don't have a persecution complex. It's tactics.
When you say you're being persecuted people rally behind you. Nothing but tactics. The political right always and everywhere (here in germany, too) had "better" tactics than the left. Because the left (usually, not always) has moral scruples while the right plays the beast in us.

11. The trick is to use certain tactics first. When you ape the one
who has done it before you (even when you're right and he's wrong) nobody will believe you. That's why we have heard some Neocons accusing Dems of being "Fascists" lately. Now if the Dems call the Neocons "fascist" nobody will believe them.

15. It is their distraction away from DSM and the other documents that
have come out. They are throwing everything they can and hoping something will stick with the public and MSM....

16. All the dems have done is say that the pukes are mostly Xtians
if Hostettler thinks that Xtians are being "deionized" it must have something to do with guilt by association, I guess.
