re: #34 marjoriemoon

I agree, but it was grassroots, really. I mean just ordinary folks coming to a rally is grassroots, no?

Whether 80,000 or 500,000 (which is pretty outrageous), I find the whole message beyond disturbing.

How many ways can the Right stand up, particularly these people, the Christian Right, the Religious Right, and shit all over the poor and elderly. They’re so caught up in us v. them, the hypocrites can’t even see the irony between their religion and their politics.

And as Charles says, religion has nothing to do with it because politics wins over God every time with these people. Is Beck and Palin their new messiahs now?

I don’t disagree- but I really do believe the event was contrived. There was a phony inclusiveness that resembled the ‘If you don’t agree, you are a racist’ kind of thinking.

And that highlights CJ’s remarks- it is a phony expression of religion. It is contrived.
