More Nastiness on the Right

I hate to admit it, but I LOVE reading article by George Neumayr like this one at RealClearReligion about how Obama "bamboozled" Catholic voters. In one piece he manages to question the integrity of John Carr, the sagacity of Bishop Stephen Blaire, borrow a metaphor that has its origins in Fascist Spanish military strategy, suggest many, un-named bishops were 'useful idiots" to Obama, and characterize Sisters Carol Keehan and Simone Campbell as propagandists. So much hate in one little column, and people wonder why many flee the Church?
