Our Christian-Baiting Media
patrickafir of Clarity and Resolve found this incredible exchange between a reporter and the president's press secretary Scott McClellan.
Q Scott, on the Middle East, many evangelical Christians are supporting right-wing Jews in Israel who want to rebuild the temple on Temple Mount in Jerusalem. They believe this is a prerequisite for Christ's return to Earth. They believe when Christ returns to Earth -- they call this "the Rapture" -- he will take back with Him the true believers, and the rest, the non--believers, Jews and Muslims, will be left behind to face a violent death here on Earth. My question is, as a born-again Christian, does the President support efforts to rebuild a temple on the Temple Mount?
MR. McCLELLAN: Russ, we can sit here and talk about religious issues, but I'm not -- I will be glad to take your question and if there's more, I will get back to you on it.
Q Is he a born-again Christian?
MR. McCLELLAN: Thank you.
END 1:36 P.M. EST
Try to imagine this same dialog with a world leader of any other faith.
