IGNORANCE: There's no view like a bad view spoken!

To disparage another, it's often better to use the oblique approach - Joy Behar threw a lie so obliquely it almost was believed!
A presidential candidate who shares his or her religious beliefs is "impinging on the Constitution" according to "View" co-host Joy Behar. On the show’s season premiere September 2 the panel caught up on the many hot button political stories from Sarah Palin’s pregnant daughter to sharing religion in a public forum.
When Barbara Walters brought up the discussion of Senators Obama and McCain attending a forum with Reverend Rick Warren, Behar declared "both of them needed to say that Jesus Christ was their savior. That is very much impinging on the Constitution in my opinion. Why do we need to know who’s their savior?" Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Sherri Shepherd disagreed wondering what is wrong with them making such a statement.
Conveniently forgotten in the recesses of Joy's mind are two small, yet relevant, components of our "Constitution" - the freedoms of religion and speech. Geesh, how do you suppose she forgot those?

And go figure, candidates talking about faith in Christ ... in a church no less! What next????
