Digby Nails Them As He Usually Does. The Religious Right Is Becoming The Most Powerful Arm Of The GOP. Will Mr. & Mrs. Everyday American Finally Wake Up To That Fact?

Suicide Pact

I am edified to learn that Dr Bill Frist, cat slayer, and Dr James Dobson, dauchshund beater, are joining hands to kill the independent judiciary. (As I have said before, while it's true that not all animal abusers become serial killers, it is true that the vast majority of serial killers were once animal abusers. Not that I'm saying that Frist and Dobson are serial killers ... let's just say that they are in some pretty disgusting company.)

As the Senate heads toward a showdown over the rules governing judicial confirmations, Senator Bill Frist, the majority leader, has agreed to join a handful of prominent Christian conservatives in a telecast portraying Democrats as "against people of faith" for blocking President Bush's nominees. "The filibuster was once abused to protect racial bias, and it is now being used against people of faith."

This is so patently offensive that I don't have adequate words to describe how truly wrong this is
