Katherine "Christian" Harris (WTF)
 
Harris: Non-Christian Politicians 'Legislate Sin'

Spexxvet 08-30-2006 08:54 AM

link doesn't work.

“If you are not electing Christians, tried and true, under public scrutiny and pressure, if you’re not electing Christians then in essence you are going to legislate sin,” Harris told the Florida Baptist Witness in an interview last week. “Whenever we legislate sin and we say abortion is permissible and we say gay unions are permissible, then average citizens who are not Christians, because they don’t know better, we are leading them astray and it’s wrong.”

Fixed (oops). First is from TheOnion, second is a "real" article.

I wonder if Florida has enough Jews, Buddhists, Muslims, Pagans, Athiest, Agnostics, Shintos, Hindus, Toaists, Jainists, etc, to keep her ass out of office. I hope so.

Flint 08-30-2006 08:58 AM

And people say Christians are just good, harmless people. See what they talk about when they get together ???

Stormieweather 08-30-2006 09:38 AM

Katherine Harris is a whackjob. Her entire campaign staff has walked out on her en masse...twice.

She apparently thinks her "payback" for Operation: Florida is a license to run amok.

Speaking of Utilitarian Boobs
 
Hey Flint. Did you see when Jon Stewart showed KH giving an interview for CNN? She was so oviously making sure her boobs were prominent in the camera shot; it was embarrasing even for me. Her piousness is so shallow. I think I'm gonna puke::vomitblu:

smoothmoniker 08-30-2006 10:48 AM

Harris is a very bad example of an extreme fundamentalist pandering hard toward her base.

And, in the interest of fair play, any extremist of any ilk is bound to sound like a raving lunatic when they pander to their base.

Happy Monkey 08-30-2006 11:47 AM

Oh, don't worry. It's OK:

Harris' campaign released a "Statement of Clarification" Aug. 26 attempting to douse the firestorm.
"In the interview, Harris was speaking to a Christian audience,
See, her words were directed at Christians. If you're not Christian, don't worry. She wasn't talking to you.

Yes. That is a common misperception. Just look at how many atheists are in government, and how few people of faith. Some day we'll see someone elected to public office who isn't afraid to admit they believe in God.

Flint 08-30-2006 11:57 AM

Those poor Christians are so oppressed! I really feel for them, when they complain about it...

Spexxvet 08-30-2006 12:01 PM

I'm waiting to hear the phrase "Christian minority".

Pangloss, I think there is a rule about remembering to include links to boob clips, even if they are right wing whack job fundie boobs.

Pangloss62 08-30-2006 01:52 PM

Sorry

perfect backgound song.

Do you think she was really showing off her boobs, or do you think she was being jabbed in the back with a hot poker? It might explain the twisted grin/grimmace.

Oh for God's sake, I must second the puking:vomitblu:

She's throwing those babies around like some chick off HeeHaw.

Pangloss62 08-30-2006 03:51 PM

Poke
 
Well, I saw another video of her riding a horse at some rodeo and she looked like she was wearing one of those topedo-tit-type bras, you know, the ones they had in the late 1950s. Christ! They stuck out nearly a foot.:eek: She's just using all the tools she has at her disposal.

Flint 08-30-2006 03:53 PM

You never hear anything good about this lady...

Right, because our elected government doesn't need to worry itself over doing the will of anyone who isn't Christian...or God.

You know, that's even more offensive than the original statements, because she's stating rather clearly that non-Christian opinions don't matter.

Good Christian men like boobs as well as the next atheist, you know.

I think she might be leaning up against a "stripper pole". You know the ones - you can see them in any Christian church.;)

First it was the folk masses, now this. Maybe I shouldn't have lapsed after vatican II...

Nononono...that's a crucifix!

Stripper pole, crucifix, why split hairs?

rkzenrage 08-31-2006 07:27 PM

She also said the founding fathers never wanted separation of church and state... she is an idiot of monumental proportions.

wolf 08-31-2006 09:29 PM

No government establishment of religion and separation of church and state are two separate concepts, only one of which is in the Constitution.

Happy Monkey 08-31-2006 10:08 PM

The phrase "separation of church and state", however, does come from one of the founding fathers as a description of the establishment clause.

If they don't screw up the ballot in Palm Beach again, I'd say yes.

Plus the fact that most non-brain-dead Christians can tell the difference between a nun and a whore dressed as a nun.

No, she's a politician. She's playing her voter base, that's what they do. There hasn't been a politician in this country in the last 150 years who put logical leadership ahead of winning the next election.

I think she is a perfect example.

Harris, Harris... didn't she delivered the 2000 FLA votes to Bush?
