With polls consistently showing that the overwhelming majority of Americans believe in God it seems moronic that anyone would say "that most liberals are atheists or agnostics who pride themselves on being skeptics." But that is what conservative thinker Doug Giles does in ridiculous piece, The New Jesus: Obama Be Thy Name.
Giles' article is filled with nonsense like "Barack, in reality, is much different from the fabricated Jesus image the Dim-o-crats would have us worship." The conservatives should speak of a fabricated Jesus when theirs is a warring, gay hating, abortion obsessed preacher. Not a picture the Bible gives the least evidence for painting.
In trying to pass off the enthusiasm Obama has generated among many Americans as fanatical hysteria, Giles spouts off
For God’s sake, Obama-ites, God can barely live up to the hype you guys are giving the young Hussein. You’re tripping way too hard over the grossly inexperienced junior state senator spawned from the scheming netherworld of Chicago based politics.
Why should that suggestion not be considered blasphemous by religious believers?
He adds, "To his followers, he’s Jesus (pronounced “Hey-Soos,” as Barack would have us say)." Hey-Soos? What do you suppose he means by that? Not very Christ-like, if I do say so myself. But besides the slur, just who are these people who supposedly believe Obama is Jesus?
How much sense does it make to start off saying that most liberals are atheists and agnostics and then go on to paint them as religious fanatics who believe that Obama is a Jesus-like savior?
Neither accusation is true.
I suppose Townhall.com considers this lying editorial a serious analysis.
I consider it just another piece of right-wing idiocy. So much hate, so little sense.

Doug - I read the article, and even halfway through the idiocy had the nerve to comment that my mind has apparently turned to mush. Pretty ticked off, thanks again. And what's with this part "if the rabid gay crowd doesn’t mind me using the word snicker." I don't even get that really, so no, I don't mind, go ahead. Although I must point out this a-hole must know more even than me an insider about whatever that. Go figure.
Doug - I had no idea what the snicker thing was about, which is why I didn't comment on it. And certainly Giles in enough to anger any thinking person.
I re-read it, and I suppose the qualifier for understanding the snicker thing is being a "rabid" gay, missed that the first time. Little wonder I didn't get it, I guess, not being so rabid. Never heard of this guy before, really, I'll have to read more. Like I read Ann Coulter even. I suffer from low blood pressure, these things help.
You guys are better than I. These freaks make me ill. So much hate, what happened to them as children? I have to pity them.
Diane - Some of these folks are probably a lost cause. However, I have a hope that bringing their lunacy out in the open and exposing it to the ridicule it deserves, others might be persuaded not to buy into it.
