Dear Lord, thank you for making those who would pervert your word for fascist agendas-- so dumb.

So on the same page (or scroll, I guess) we have Harris, Biden, and Allen all saying absolutely ridiculous and insulting things. (And administration folks lying; but what else is new.)

Did you ever wonder if professional politicians have some kind of secret pool going about who can say the most stupid thing and get elected/re-elected anyway? If normal folks like us talked like the professional politicians of either party, we would be fired, or at least slapped alot. These aren't stupid people so they must be doing it on purpose.

Those power mad Christian women alway do.

Ms. Harris probably thought nobody outside the Christianist world would read her interview in the Florida Baptist magazine.

She may be a victim of her own right wing's propaganda. My local Christianist radio guy constantly quotes little stories that illustrate something he thinks important. And then he asks, "Why didn't the Liberal Mainstream Media cover this?!" He says, "The Liberals are covering up the facts! There's no other explanation!"

These people live in their own perverted little world, and they speak their own dopey patois, and they get away with it, usually, because usually it does not matter. But here, it matters. Good job Tim Grieve!

This is typical of the hatred spewed out by so-called Christians. These people are in reality the anti-Christ. Jesus would NEVER say anything like this. Maybe we should elect a Buddhist since Buddhists do NOT believe in killing. They respect the sanctity of life. Compare this with our so-called Christian nation which is usually embroiled in a war, or conjuring up unrest around the planet. Jews and Christians alike need to learn how to live ...

...I guess that explains why Utah is such a hotbed of sin, vice and hedonism!

One Nation under God? Whose god really?

as a florida voter, woman, and buddhist republican - i can safely say - no self respecting republican would vote for her - no self respecting human either.

she does for women what dr. dobson does for men - i dont think i need to explain it.

harris may be the dems secret weapon - certainly making me look tothe left for a candidate thats not a) nuts b) intolerant and/or racist c) katherine harris

Looks like Katherine Harris just realized/remembered there is a large block of Jewish voters in Florida.

I'm beginning to think she must be a comedian PRETENDING to be a political candidate--she's so entertainingly daft, stupid, bigoted and strategically challenged with a gift for saying the wrong things in public, I can't believe she's taking her Senate run seriously.

...of Tourette's syndrome among Republican candidates lately. Do these clowns really think that they can spew hate-laced (or, at the least, ethnically insensitive) comments and not be called to account for them?

Oh, silly me: they've had the un-Helen Thomas's of the U.S. media covering them so of course they think so. But some voters are starting to wake up and come out of their Bush/evil-doers/9-11/liberty/freedom coma and start thinking for themselves again. Maybe there is hope.

Thanks again, Salon, for keeping on top of this stuff.

If it looks like an idiot, walks like an idiot and quacks like an idiot then it must be an idiot... or Katherine Harris trying to impress.

"Did I say that a Republican won Florida's popular vote for president in 2000? I meant it was either a Republican or a Democrat."

Never fails to amaze me how the professional "Christians" - you know, the ones Jesus condemned for praying in public - keep hurting themselves with non-euphemized phrases. Katie, honey, baby, it's "people of faith." All the Baptists know who you really mean.

To all who are distressed by Ms. harris' blathering, please ask yourself, "WWDD? - What would Dick do?"

Now, given that Ms. Harris is a member of the Bush administration (at least by association) and - therefore - we can assume that her words reflect the thinking of that crew then a simple extrapolation of Ms. Harris' words provides the most excellent campaign fodder - to wit: "Bush administration wants to ban Muslims, Hindus and Jews from public office."

C'mon people, use your brains.

God is dead, Katherine Harris - Deal with it.
