Is Obama a Godless Commie?

Andrew Sullivan has a brief article at Atlantic.com describing Bill Kristol's inane blasting of Barack Obama's "bitter" statement.

Sullivan rightly accuses Kristol of not only implying Obama's faith may be faux but also of painting Obama with the Marxist brush because of that so-called "bitter" statement which referenced "the way in which economic distress can alter people's tolerance for others."

Obama said of those who are economically distressed:

"It's not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

Sounds like a rather astute observation about human nature to me.

But to Bill Kristol it makes Obama a phony Christian and a "godless commie," says Andrew Sullivan.

Sadly, we are going to have to deal with an increasing amount of Kristol's kind of derogatory, defamatory, false, lying, unprincipled Obama bashing between now and November.
