This weekend I was in Washington DC and, being a Roman Catholic, thought it might be interesting to stop in at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception (8th largest church in the world).
While there I decided to light a candle (personal reasons). I noticed, sitting on the kneeler in front of one of the shrines was a flyer. On one side was a pic of John Kerry next to a pic of Osama Bin Laden with the writing "Stop These 2 Men Before They Destroy America". On the flip side was the following writing, "Learn the truth about John Kerry before its too late" along with the contact info for "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth".
This digusted me on several levels.
1) A church is a place for the worship and glorification of God! A church is NOT the place for political statement or the glorification of man (even if his name is Bush).
2) The GOP threw a fit about the very brief Bush-Hitler ad that a MoveOn.org member created. The ad was immediately pulled and destroyed. Now the GOP's group resorts to the use of the same sort of images?!?!?!
3) The "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth" are a thinly veiled front for a bunch of GOP shills. Now they have expanded beyond just lying about Kerry's military record, now they want to start painting him w/ Bin Laden.
At long last ... has the GOP no shame? Have they no decency?
Walk into just about any Black Baptist Church....
