LIE OF THE WEEK: 02-09-2007
Former Senator John Edwards on his campaign workers insulting people of faith:
"I've talked to Amanda and Melissa; they have both assured me that it was never their intention to malign anyone's faith, and I take them at their word."
THE TRUTH: While the Democratic Party preaches tolerance for all, they have a bad habit of insulting the intelligence of anyone who is a believer and belongs to any major religious organization (just as they have a bad habit of insulting America's business class or anyone who is not a minority). In trying to please the large number of secular atheists and agnostics who belong to the party, Democrats are always willing to go the extra mile in promoting their views, but it's time for them to realize that they will never be trusted by the vast majority of Americans (who are believers) until they truly respect everyone's views.
