Krauthammer's Knocking

MEDIA ADVISORY, Dec. 8 /Christian Newswire/ -- Charles Krauthammer has written a blistering column titled, Huck's Unholy Dance, which is about Mitt Romney's speech. Krauthammer's column is not going to play well in Jesusland, according to David Jeffers, author of "Understanding Evangelicals: A Guide to Jesusland."

 

Krauthammer writes, "Just imagine that Huckabee were running one-on-one in Iowa against Joe Lieberman. (It's a thought experiment. Stay with me.) If he had run the same ad in those circumstances, it would have raised an outcry. The subtext -- who's the Christian in this race? -- would have been too obvious to ignore, the appeal to bigotry too clear."

 

Jeffers says this is going to raise questions in Jesusland: "Now I don't know about you, but since when is playing the Christian card bigotry or even an appeal to bigotry? Is it bigotry for a candidate to say, vote for me the only real evangelical in the race? If I choose to vote for someone based on their religion, does that make me a bigot?"

 

Jeffers says "Those of us who 'inhabit' Jesusland are sick of being described as a bigot because we want a Christian as president."
