Michele Bachmann: I'll Run For President -- If God Calls Me To Do It

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Whats funny is that if she really were a devout muslim, you'd have nothing to say about it.

Says who?

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

My point being that an individual muslim is off limits as far as the left and criticism is concerned. They are very careful not to say anything to offend an individual muslim, but go after Christians with complete contempt and hatred. Its ok to hate Christians, but hating anyone else is morally wrong.

Bachmann may be a nut, but that isnt' my point.

How many US politicians are Muslim? How many of them have made public statements like Rep. Bachman has said regarding her religious beliefs? And then for the real whopper...take a deep breath....what do suppose would be the reaction from the Right if US Rep. who was Muslim had said the same exact thing as her? Joseph, there's hypocrisy on both sides of the aisle.

Good I'm glad this is an admission of hypocrisy.

Luckily I don't fall on any side of the aisle, but outside the building.

Well that's not quite true is it. You do indeed fall outside the building, but in a rather smelly alleyway on the other side of the wall (on the righthand side of the building) where you rummage through the heaped trash looking for scraps and the minutes of last weeks meeting.

I think the lampooners in this thread would anyone who came out with such buffoonery no matter what religion they espoused. The suggestion that it's the christianity that is being singled out is to completely misrepresent what has been said. No surprises there then.

I think this Joseph character, like a few other posters of note, has mastered the art of talking "at" people, rather than "to" them.

God told me this morning that he did not talk to this b1tch. Repeat, God denies these allegations. kthxbai
