Head of Ohio Restoration Project compares Non-Theocratic Christians to...
Get this, he compares them to people who helped out Hitler.

"The Rev. Russell Johnson brought his "Patriot Pastors" tour to the Canton area last week, with Ohio gubernatorial candidate Ken Blackwell by his side. Controversy wasn't far behind.

As the Ten Commandments, prayer and the Bible are removed from public places, Johnson compared Christians standing on the sidelines to churchgoers appeasing the Nazis during the Holocaust, the Akron Beacon Journal reported.

Today's Christians lead "Neville Chamberlain lives," Johnson said, a reference to the former prime minister of Britain who signed a neutrality pact with Adolf Hitler.

Speaking to several hundred people at a Hartville, Ohio, restaurant, Johnson compared the current situation to Holocaust-era church congregations, which sang loudly to block out the sound of trains carrying crying Jews to concentration camps, the Beacon Journal said. As Johnson spoke, pictures of Hitler and Chamberlain appeared on a large screen."

1. Wow...Hitler and the Nazis are
apparently equal opportunity insults.

2. So, where's the outrage? Is FauxViews covering it yet?
Where are the outraged panelists screeching how the comments are "irresponsible"?

What time is Ken Mehlman booked for CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, ABC, CBS, and CSPAN? I don't want to miss his wise words and observation of anger and hatred.

Will Kate O'Bierne (sp) be on Meet the Press this Sunday to discuss the topic...roundtable style, of course?

I may just have to go out and buy a paper with Novak's column in it too!

3. Gee, most churches in Germany in the 30's supported Hilter.

4. "Thou shall not steal," I think that can be applied to elections as well.
