Harold Ford Jr. Says Republicans Don’t Love The Lord?

Posted on October 29, 2006

HAROLD FORD, JR.: My friend Lincoln Davis who chairs our campaign says there are, there’s one big difference between us and misfortunate Republicans when it comes to our faith: he said that Republicans fear the Lord; he said Democrats fear AND love the Lord

Wow! What a statement! I don’t doubt that many Democrats fear And love the lord, but what would make this man come to the conclusion that Republicans only fear the lord? That is what he said. He noted there was a difference between Republican and Democrat faith in God and that the difference was the lack of love from the Republicans. What an absolute insult! Why is this guy bringing religion into his political campaign like this anyway? Is this how the left are trying to win over the religious folk? How righteous of the man! I’m not prophet, but I’ll go out on a limb here and guess that there will be some backlash on this. At least there should be. The left will probably stay silent though.

Also, keep in mind that the original statement is that of Lincoln Davis who should not get any pass either. Remember that he said this as well, and by quoting and “blessing” this statement in a campaign…Ford has endorsed the statement.

But imagine the MSM outrage if a Republican would have said this.

Dan Riehl has another revealing bit about Ford and “redistriubting wealth” through Social Security.
Don’t believe he said it? Watch the video. Hat tip.Hot Air!
Update: Corker Responds:

Hugh Hewitt:

I think Ford may easily capture the award for the most stunning display of incompetence in the closing two weeks of a senate campaign ever. Other nominees are welcome, but I can’t think of a series of missteps as dramatic as those Ford has committed.

Hey Ford! Here’s a cartoon I made that explains what we Republicans are all about. It just might help ya get a clue (but I won’t hold my breath!)

The method of using an absence of something in order to make a label is not something new. Republicans call themselves “pro-life” as if to assume that Democrats are not. Democrats call themselves “pro-choice.” This doesn’t mean they are not “pro-life.” Republicans are accurately “anti-choice.” There is a subtle difference there.
