I'd say that's an American value, not a partisan one.
Can't wait to see the equivocation this statement will cause.

Well, let's pin him down. If he is talking about all religions, including atheism, which has been determined to be a religion by a US court, he may be right. Maybe we should refine our persecution of religions and just denounce those inclined to murder tens of millions? Maybe we can give those who help feed and clothe the world's destitute a pass?

You should look into the child's play charity started by Penny Arcade...  They use the donations to buy toys and games for hospitalized kids.  Emotional health is critical to recovering from severe illness and injuries, and this charity directly influences the hospitalized child's sense of well-being.

Everyone I know, goes away, in the end.

once again you side step the question, what about obama's experience? a community organizer? And he wants be president?
That wasn't the question, and you are a tard.  I give you about as much respect as I would Farrakhan.  In my opinion you are worthless and will be put in your place soon enough. :aok

Try kids in Russia, or Central and South America or Africa.  :)

thats the point. he took a large, well known example of religious intolerance and persecution of people living within its own land, and it barely registers when compared to say, Stalin.

"I merely stated he only used on instance of religous murder spree"

and i asked you to add in as many as you felt necessary to make a comparable death toll.

MSNBC is not the source of this article, it's the NYT.

I value this kind of investigative journalism.  It's worth far more than softball interviews with politicians over and over and over again that you get from standard journalism these days.

McCain did a great job of locking my vote for Obama by picking Palin as his VP.  I wanted to keep an open mind before that, maybe pay attention to the debates, but this is the last straw for McCain and his so-called "maverick" status and reputation for doing the right thing instead of towing the party line.

Let's see here, Gov. Palin:

Creationism in science class? check
Drill to energy independence? check
Abuses power for friends? check

No, I don't think Obama's perfect, but where the Republican party is going is just scary. :uhoh

Obama got where he is by being friends with an actual terrorist.

I think that's kinda scary.
No one knows what the future may bring.
