Christians, Apparently, are Handy Targets for the Clueless.

John Hawkins: [1]

For whatever reason, more than a few Liberals who aren’t very religious have a bizarre, paranoid view of Christians that is so out of touch with reality that they make the Truthers look sane. Just to name one example, take a look at Sam Donaldson [2], who said this on December 9th,

“Talk about a Christian theocracy in this country, many evangelical Christians believe… that’s what we should have, that government should favor people who have the right and understand what God wants us to do.”

You know, I’m a conservative Christian who reads a lot of blogs, reads a lot of columns, and regularly chats with other conservative Christians. In my entire life, I have never spoken to another Christian who wants a theocracy in the US and I’ve never read a column or single blog post that advocates a theocracy here in the US.

Clearly, John, you’ve answered your own question in the first line: They’re not very religious. They therefore have no clue of what they speak. Liberals should have no illusions that I’m insulting them, particularly; I’ve blasted a number of those ostensibly on the right and in libertarian circles who didn’t know what they were on about, on the same subject.

Christians, apparently, are handy targets for the clueless…. regardless what the cluelessness is rooted in.

Not exactly clueless and not merely handy.  Edward Morrissey,  Captain’s Quarters [3],  posts Hugh Hewitt’s interview with an expert at attacking Christians, Larry O’Donnell:

LO’D: Oh, well, I’m afraid of what the…that’s where I’m really afraid. I would like to criticize Islam much more than I do publicly, but I’m afraid for my life if I do.

There you have straight from the horse’s mouth.  Liberals are cowards.
