Ignorant religious conservatives - deep in the heart of TN

H/T:

I think you just have to see this to believe it. Normally, I wouldn't bash people for their ignorance but when it comes to something as important as justifying their vote for a presidential candidate, I have little patience for ignorance that when repeated become lies.

Or see it on youtube




Pharyngula:
They're probably good, decent people who care about their families, but listen to what they are saying — they are picking a president on the basis of his dedication to the Bible. They are advocating a foreign policy based on biblical prophecy. They measure patriotism by whether someone "worships" (interesting slip, there) the flag and Jesus. They parrot lies, such as that Obama is planning to be sworn in on the Koran. …but the whole problem here is that their brains have been poisoned by religion, a lying, dishonest, corrupting religion that has turned them into deluded fools. Lay the blame for this criminal distortion of human minds right at the feet of religious belief.

Like I said, probably good people…but the whole problem here is that their brains have been poisoned by religion, a lying, dishonest, corrupting religion that has turned them into deluded fools. Lay the blame for this criminal distortion of human minds right at the feet of religious belief.

As I said over at MCB, these are not Ned Williams' peeps. He would never let his racism or hatred of the infidel (that includes you and me, bub) get out in the open like these folks do.

I don't know if you ever to to "Orcinus blog" but there's a post there about a guy running for office in Illinois who gave a speech at the National Socialist Workers Party headquarters on Der Feuhrer's birthday. HE would consider these to be HIS people.

I kept expecting somebody to jump out from behind the door with a hockey mask and a chainsaw.

Wow. That was painful. The girl, especially . No thoughts of her own.

democommie, I saw that Tony Zirkle story, in various places . The guy got ripped even on Fox, and he thinks all the attention is a good thing . The local GOP's trying hard to ignore him . Zirkle's clueless. I'm sure they're proud at Annapolis. ;)
