The real reason to vote for McCain

In her newest campaign piece for McCain fever, Katie Nix writes that Barack Obama has too many radical associations to be trusted. Oh boy. Here’s the best part: ****Alinsky’s method of agitation used churches in the Chicago area as sources of supporters and goods, even though he himself was an atheist. This deceitful tactic was adopted by Barack Obama and was how he came to find himself in church — the church of Jeremiah Wright. It had nothing to do with being a Christian. I think we all know enough about Wright to conclude he is a nut who breeds hatred, and that Obama clearly had no problem with Wright’s perspective before he ran for president. * *** What a beautiful blend of zealotry and conspiracy theorism. The best part is that Nix considers it deceitful for an atheist to work with churches. Imagine what she’d think of diplomacy, when various representatives of different countries, cultures and yes, religions, try to find common solutions to common problems. The assertion that Obama is not a Christian is also amusing. While I too find it hard to believe that every U.S. presidential candidate is as religious as they say, it’s curious that Nix feels so comfortable asserting that Obama would never join a church based on any type of spiritual belief.
