Newt Gingrich went beyond calling suspended Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson a good Christian on Thursday, going so far as to liken him to Pope Francis.
“Ironically, if you read the whole interview, not just take one section, he talks very specifically about loving everybody,” Gingrich said on Crossfire. “He talks very specifically about not being judgmental toward anybody, that’s God’s decision, not his. I mean, it is remarkable. There’s sections there where he sounds like Pope Francis.”Panelist LZ Granderson quickly countered Gingrich’s argument, saying, “There’s nothing really remarkable about slandering people and then coming around and saying, ‘Love everybody.’ People have been doing that time and time again: ‘Love the sinner but hate the sin.’ That’s nothing remarkable.”
is he stupid or just republican speaking? i can imagine some believing that elephant dung, they seem programmed to only hear that which is hateful and intolerant see only that that is example of right wing brainwashing., while the leaders use the example of G W Bush, "you can fool some of the people all of the time and those are the ones you want to concentrate on" they wait for the red meat.
Unlike the Pope, however, who has criticized the Catholic Church for antagonizing the LGBT communities, Robertson is quoted inGQ Magazine comparing homosexuality to bestiality, saying, “Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there. Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men.”
Gingrich then accused Granderson and co-host Van Jones of wanting to “edit the Bible so that the parts that you approve of are allowed to be talked about.”
they do the dirt then try to sweep it on the Progressive shoes, Bill Clinton "takes a lot of brass to accuse someone of what you do" are they really that ignorant or do they think we are, we hear them year after year spewing this kind of lies yet they seem to forget it's on video tape stupid, we know what you said and did now they are saying "it wasn't me", right it was that other you the racist/bigot in the republican party.
