    Peter LaBarbera: Americans are tired of religious phoneys … who use their religion as a PR prop while actively undermining its moral dictates.

    Americans are tired of religious phoneys like [Sen. Joseph] Lieberman – politicians who use their religion as a PR prop while actively undermining its moral dictates.

    Claiming to be an “observant” Jew, Lieberman wears his religion on his sleeve (perhaps he will walk, not drive, on the Jewish Sabbath Day today to cast his pro-homosexuality vote!).

    Stealing the moral authority of “civil rights” is the only way Lieberman can rationalize his role as a crusader for the ‘Gay’ Lobby on Capitol Hill — when His religion, a form of Orthodox Judaism, condemns homosexual acts as an “abomination”

    Substitute Lieberman with LaBarbera, Jewish with Christian, and homosexual with hate, and we see how he refuses to see himself.

    It must be exhausting to suppress all that all the time.

    Re: The religious right reacts predictably . . .

    I can’t think of a more hilarious perfection of religious conservative hypocrisy than to see all these puritanical articles enshrined around a nude centerfold ad for Cosmos magazine. Do these monkeys have any feet left after so many bulls eyes? Pease slide me a chair to lean on, my laughter is nearly debilitating.
