Memphis congressional race gets ugly
Racial politics and religious differences collide
Brad Greenberg
This is why I am so consistently wary of the role of religion in politics. JTA has a short story about Steve Cohen's opponent refusing to condemn this flier because she hadn't seen it, as if hearing those words weren't enough. It would be fair to say "Steve Cohen doesn't share the beliefs of black Christians" but what I don't understand is why the language has to be so inflammatory. Oh wait, that's right. This isn't about religion, at least in as much as it's not about racism. It's about politics.

Absolutly nauseating. The person who wrote that sunk as low as anyone can go! Anti=semitism isn unchristian! How soon people forget that the Lord was born a Jewish male!

Why is Cohen to be not voted for and Obama to be voted for? Go to Obama's church website and read their mission statament. It sounds like a black separatist movement. If there is any group Christian's should embrace, it is Jews.

Looking into this a little deeper, I think one can dismiss any conspiracy theories. I think Brooks did this on his own, partially from his dubious convictions and partially to drum up publicity for some rather grandiose looking media/publishing plans he has. I would suggest he see a doctor, but what do I know?
