5. NOT ONLY THAT.....

The dumbass singer kept singing 'Twas blind, but now I see."

6. I wonder how many of them know the story behind "Amazing Grace"

written by a former slave owner, I think, who repented. (Someone correct me if they know the story)

If they knew that, would they feel the same way singing that song?

10. Former slave TRADER

but according to Snopes, he didn't give up slave trading cold turkey after his conversion, but sort of eased himself out of the business.

7. well as I recall there were opening and closing prayers at DNC too

as well as several gospel choirs.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

8. Actually, the Dems had religious leaders of various types

(I saw Greek Orthodox and Islamic) offer blessings at the end of each day.

9. I mean really what the hell is this?

If this is what passes as a political convention, no wonder the networks don't want to cover this shit.

11. Rudy G. says "we won't let the terrorists determine where to have our

conventions". Someone please tell Rudy that 9/11 is the only reason the GOP is having the convention in New York.
