Christian leaders push back against smears from Abercrombie campaign
By Andrew Walden @ 9:18 PM :: 11719 Views :: Family, First Amendment, Politicians, Religion
|
The effort is very similar to the smear campaign run in 1998 and 2002 against then-candidate Linda Lingle. Progressive activists then claimed that the Jewish Lingle would abolish the Christmas Holiday for government employees and insinuated she was a lesbian—a smear which can be heard to this day.
Whether it is Judaism or Christianity, it seems that attacking the Religion of GOP gubernatorial candidates is stock-in-trade for Hawaii Democrats.
