I can’t help but note a real religious bigotry in this post.

After all, let’s consider the “charges” that would lead you to view Jindal as somehow unfit for the Presidency (or, presumably, any other office).

1) he promoted and signed a creationism bill (with help from the Discovery Institute)

Actually, it is not a creationism bill. Indeed, it merely permits teachers and students to recognize and discuss the fact that evolution is, in the end, a theory that is a work in progress and that the theory of evolution as it currently is propounded by scientists is not infallible and beyond question. It ultimately comes back to defending academic freedom.

2) he took part in an amateur exorcism and claimed it cured a woman of cancer

Oh, dear — he is religious, participated in a religious ritual, and believes that miracles can and do occur today. How frighteningly CHRISTIAN of him — and we certainly can’t let Christians have any influence in this country, given that they make up some 80% of the population. You sound like Dawkins here.

3) he pals around with people on the extreme edges of fundamentalist Christianity

Damn that Jindal for a tolerant individual — he has friends and allies who are FUNDAMRENTALIST CHRISTIANS. That’s flat out religious bigotry. Indeed, it is religious mcCarthyism.

4) he pals around with… at least one person who has associated with outright neo-Nazis

Or, put differently, he pals around with David Barton, the former Vice Chairman of the Republican Party of Texas. Nice of you to leave that part out. You also link to extreme left-wing groups in order to do the smearing. — what next, Daily Kos as a reliable source?

Now it seems pretty clear to me that you don’t like Jindal.

You apparently don’t have any use for fundamentalists.

I’d even go so far that you don’t have much use for Christians in general — at least not ones who really believe in their faith and let it impact their daily lives and view of the world.

But I can’t help but wonder if the sort of attacks you use in this piece might not be considered anti-Semitic if they were deployed, for example, against a Joe Lieberman and his associations with “extreme Orthodox Jews”.
