UPDATE: I take it back, I DO have the video of this…
I don’t have the video of this, but Jane Flemming (director of the Young Democrats of America) appeared on the O’Reilly Factor and discussed the Edwards campaign and the two fool bloggers he hired who had made vile anti-Christian comments in the past couple of years.
When pressed if she would fire these two girls, if she had been in charge, she said no. She would let them say what they wanted to say- free speech…and she would not fire them. He then pressed her further and asked her if they made anti-gay comments or anti-black comments if she would fire them, and shocker of shockers- Jane Flemming, ms young Democrat, said- yes, she would fire them immediately.
Lesson? Flemming is fine and dandy with anti-Christian bigots, but she has no tolerance for those who are anti-gay or anti-black. Seems to be a common theme among Democrats. Maybe Americans usually see the Democrats as the party against religion because that’s precisely what they are. Maybe?
It’s always nice to see Flemming make a complete ass of herself on TV tho, so that’s a plus. I just hope that not all young democrats are this ignorant. I do love how Jane refers to herself in the third person when posting to the blog linked in the first paragraph.
Maybe I should try that. Josh Bozeman exposes idiot named Jane. Josh discusses democrat who is fine with anti-christian bigotry, but says an immediate no to anything that is considered anti-gay. Josh says that being against Christianity is a rare thing in the US. Josh also says that being against homosexuality is fairly common in the US. Josh says this means that Jane is a member of the fringe in this country, and she might even be part of the lunatic fringe from seeing her often on TV making a fool of herself as often as possible.
Josh out.
More lunacy from Flemming on the O’Reilly Factor
Arbitrary prejudice is a manifestation of ignorance, mis-directed anger, and vanity, regardless of its target.
Anti-Christian bigotry stems from the ridiculous notion that all Christians must be members of the so-called “Religious Right,” a small sub-group of Christians who have been cruelly stereotyped as mean-spirited, homophobic misogynists that sanctimoniously presume to have cornered the Earthly market in righteousness.
It is a terribly unfair assumption (especially in light of the fact that many Christians are Democrats and/or liberals), just like those ubiquitous caricatures of homosexuals and African-Americans.
The difference, however, is a matter of numbers and power. Picking on popular and powerful majorities, such as Christians, heterosexuals, and fair-skinned people of mostly European descent is simply not viewed in the same light as picking on unpopular and relatively powerless minorities like homosexuals and people of color.
The powerful and the popular are expected to take their lumps, and to do so with a wink, a nod, and a smile. It’s the price we pay for being in the majority. We are not entitled to thin-skins, for such trappings are reserved exclusively for the formerly and currently oppressed — and that ain’t us.
