"What we are witnessing is a loathing of Christ and of his followers that has never before been expressed so openly from such a large segment of one of our major political parties," Ms. Basham declared.

It's more than just "a large segment." Because Democrat Party leaders appear to have done little, if anything, to acknowledge, confront and eliminate this hatred, they implicitly sanction this animosity. Until it's reversed, therefore, the open hostility to Christ Jesus and Christians that's reached new heights belongs to the entire Democrat Party.

But while such hostility provokes and belittles, it also clarifies. Doesn't it indicate the Democrats' shedding of any last pretense of being the so-called party of common folk, workers and the middle class? Doesn't it bolster the Democrat Party's image and/or reality as the anti-Christian Party? And doesn't it reinforce the party's bona fides as the morally relativistic, secularly humanistic partyâ€"and one that's clearly now socially and theologically racist?

Curiously, in the Democrats' efforts to be all things to all people -- thus, nothing to anyone -- the parade continues of their presidential-candidate wannabes such as Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama into churches where convenient photo ops occur. One wonders if they or anyone in their party may see the parallel with biblical Pharisees and their public displays of "religion."

p>Regardless, let's not fools ourselves: We've seen nothing yet in America regarding open unchecked hostility to the Christ and His followers. That hatred won't abate, but will intensify. Will the Democrat Party and its allies stop this disrespectful behavior, especially in the next 20-or-so vote-grabbing months? If so, when will they start? br> -- C.

One cannot describe the vulgar and crude attacks by liberal bloggers against Christianity as profane, since they have no concept of the sacred. To their narrow viewpoints, attacking Christians and Christian faith is like attacking another political party interfering with their liberal perspective. The most telling part of these ugly postings by John Edwards's campaign workers lies in the complete lack of mainstream media interest in it.

p>The Associated Press and other outlets did not detail the content of the attacks and implied that while the content may have offended some, it did not rise to the level of intolerance. Bloggers Marcotte and McEwan typify the trailer park trash types that James Carville blathered about, and their schoolgirl adolescent rebellion show them to be one of the girls, having no sense of what it means to be women. They exemplify the liberal mind -- silly, immature, emotional and lacking in grace. The Democratic Party is full of children, but very few adults. br> -- Caroline Miranda br> North Hollywood, California
