Ha-Ha, some baptists are angry at Bush over campaign tactics....

Baptists angry at Bush?!, this would be like Hollywood turning on Kerry......

sets up a dangerous situation where churches will become overtly involved in political campaigns.  While this may work for those churches in the short term, the political currents in this country change enough that in the long term, their efforts will do them great harm.  It is perfectly ok if large numbers of a congregation or the pastor of a congregation get involved up to their necks in a political campaign, doing so is their right.  But when all the church membership is drawn in to support of the campaign, whether they approve or disapprove, is not the way to increase support.  Even in the most uniform churches in terms of viewpoints, there are those whose views and votes are pointed in the opposite direction, an attempt at mass support is a violation of their basic rights as US citizens.

Hollywood? This seems like a reflection of the nazi claim the the all german theaters are owned by communist Jews.

You know my exd-wife was Asian and she often heard her boss saying that hillary clinton was a Jew. I would tell her "She's not Jewish  people just say that when they think a person deserves hatered". She only half believed me because why would he say "Jew". I added "Why would Hillary being a Jew make your boss mad?".

Hollywood (like "the Jews" or "the Blacks") is not of a single mind no more than Republicans (well maybe a bad example). Ok let's play fair.
