  •  No, I would not.... (0+ / 0-)

    No, I would not....

    Just as I do not hold accountable all the Catholics that stayed in all Boston churches after it was revealed that Bernard Francis Law, Cardinal and Archbishop of the Boston archdiocese, had covered up sexual abuse by priests in his archdiocese.  

    Moreover, I do not hold them accountable that Pope John Paul II reassigned Law to the Roman Curia and named him archpriest of the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore.

    That's the point.

    The Republicans want to hold Obama accountable for the words of OTHERS, even though they do not hold members of their own party equally accountable.

    Reagan embraced the Moral Majority, and never once denounced it when its leader said some very outlandish things.

    Dubya never denounced Falwell when he blamed the "abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians" for the 9/11 attacks, or when he said of the anti-christ, "Of course, he'll be Jewish."  

    Heck no.  

    Dubya called him in the hospital to wish him well!!!

    Dubya never denouced Billy Graham when declassified taped conversations with Nixon were released in which he stated that Jewish "stranglehold" on the media must be broken "or the country's going down the drain."

    No Republican denounced Graham when he said, "Is AIDS a judgment of God? I could not say for sure, but I think so."

    The list just goes on and on....
