ASSOCIATION: You're guilty because you have a life!

One method of attacking Christians which has gained favor among the MSM (Main-Stream-Media) is guilt by association. Stereotyping is the evil twin for this form of Cristophobia.

The media in America is as adept at this as any in the world ... especially when they feel threatened by something they do not understand. And they don't understand Christians, Christianity, or Christ! So believers like Sarah Palin have to endure their accusations.
MSNBC talking heads Chris Matthews and Rachel Maddow gathered to discuss the VP candidate's remarks. Among the topics covered was Palin's religious background.
The following is from the transcripts of that discussion ...
MATTHEWS: Is it true that she believes that God supports the war in Iraq? How does she know?

MADDOW: Was she sitting in the pew in her church in Wasilla two weeks ago when a speaker said that the Israelis deserve terrorist attacks, because Jews are unbelievers in Christ?

MADDOW: That was in the Politico today. Jews for Jesus founder speaking at her church while she was there two weeks ago making incredibly, incredibly out of line comments about Israel and Jewish people. These are tough questions she'll have to answer.
Many Americans are now asking themselves, "Who died and elected the media the sole arbiter of what is right and wrong?"
MADDOW: Saying that's why Israel was subject to terrorist attacks. It was God's judgment for not believing in Christ.

MATTHEWS: What's the source?

MADDOW: Politico.com
What Maddow fails to inform Matthews or her listeners is the rest of the story ...
Republican Jewish Coalition e-mailed its members evidence of her support for Israel: a video in which a small Israeli flag can be seen poking out from behind a drape.

"I think it speaks volumes that she keeps an Israeli flag on the wall of her office," the group's executive director, Matt Brooks, told Politico in an e-mail. "It clearly shows what's in her heart."
Kerry Picket of News Busters goes on to comment ...
Regardless of Palin's views on Israel, her Christian beliefs will count as a strike against her among media pundits.
Sad but true!
