They aren't yet able to admit to themselves that the real reasons they hate us is because we want to feed the hungry and heal the sick.

They still have a bit of cognitive dissonance about hating people who are only trying to live up the notion of "love thy neighbor".

So it's much, much easier for them to just pretend that we're pedophiles.

Republicans either lack the insight to understand the projection, or in a more cynical and sinister manner, they don't care as they know their followers will buy into the lies.


You have Dennis Hastert, Mark Foley, Roy Moore who were high ranking Republican politicians, and Nathan Larson who is running for congress now as convicted or admitted pedophiles; then you have the same party that rallies around their child molesters calling the Democratic Party supporters of pedophilia. Projection at its more hideous.
