I'm surprised no one has picked this up here, then again, the field is ripe with the fetid fruit sown of good ole fashioned American religious in(s)anity: http://www.salon.com/politics/war_room/2008/10/30/obama_hell/index.html Columnist: If you vote for Obama, you're going to hell Still can't choose between John McCain and Barack Obama? Well, good news -- WorldNetDaily's Janet Porter has just made your decision much easier. Porter's latest column warns that a vote for Obama is irreconcilable with the Christian faith, and that those who do choose to vote Democratic this year have a terrible punishment awaiting them. "To all those who name the name of Christ who plan to willfully disobey Him by voting for Obama, take warning. Not only is our nation in grave danger, according to the Word of God, so are you," Porter wrote. What kind of danger are so many of us in? The really bad kind: Be forewarned: If you willfully disobey God on life and marriage because of...

From AP: Islamic clerics in Malaysia rule to ban tomboys By JULIA ZAPPEI Associated Press Writer Oct 23rd, 2008 | KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia -- Malaysia's main body of Islamic clerics has issued an edict banning tomboys in the Muslim-majority country, ruling that girls who act like boys violate the tenets of Islam, an official said Friday.

I see no one (well, hardly anyone) in the Obama camp calling for anywhere near the sort of violence to be visited on Bush, Cheney or McCain and Palin. There is a certain small minority calling for an organized campaign to place Karl Rove, John Yoo, David Addington, Roberto Gonzalez, Paul Wolfowitz, Donald Rumsfeld, and were they not under the protection of the Secret Service (SS anyone? no, too far?), Bush and Cheney under citizen's arrest for their war crimes. I am among that minority. ..and if I were for the death penalty, which I certainly oppose, I would say that for some of them "hangin' is too good". But I am a radical who believes in crazy things like if you are responsible for the unjust deaths of hundreds of thousands of civilians you are a war criminal. That if you eavesdrop on millions of innocent people without a legal court order, you are a criminal. That if you peddle influence and deal in cronyism, you certainly have no place in a supposed democratic fo...
