Gary Cass' One-Sided Definition of Anti-Christian Defamation

Sometimes you just have to marvel at the cluelessness of some Religious Right leaders, like when Gary Cass of the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission declares that he is outraged that anyone would dare to attack an opponent's faith: 

Incumbent Florida Congressman, Alan Grayson, has stooped to a new low in his attempt to get reelected. He has taken aim at the faith of his opponent, Dan Webster, who is a Christian. Grayson's ads quote Webster out of context and calls Webster "Taliban Dan Webster" ... This overt attack on Dan Webster's faith and is no less bigoted than any racist or anti-Semitic slur," said Dr. Gary Cass of DefendChristians.Org ... DefendChristians.Org is calling on the public to demand an apology and retraction by Grayson in order to send a warning that Christians will not allow themselves to be demonized by anyone, especially by those seeking public office.

Do I need to point out that Cass this his own organization ran a seven-part series entitled "7 Reasons Why Barack Obama is Not a Christian" and has done nothing but attack Obama's faith since he took office.

In fact, it was just last week that Cass claimed that Obama's "policies are so radically liberal ... that it's hard for me to take his faith claims seriously" and blasted him as more of a "limousine Marxist hypocrite" than a Christian. 

Apparently, attacking an opponent's faith is nothing more than a bigoted attempt to demonize them ... which just so happens to be what exactly has Cass been doing for the last two years.
