The bigotry comes out
When it comes to potential Republican presidential candidates, when you’re at the top of any poll, you become the target of the politics of personal destruction by Democrats and Big Media. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has topped several recent polls as a favorite for the 2016 nomination, so the long knives have come out.
Taegan Goddard, who refers to himself as an unbiased journalist at Political Wire, pegged his attack to Walker’s Christian faith, making light of the governor’s statement — similar to ones that candidates in both parties, including Barack Obama, have made for years — that he’s waiting for “God’s calling” to signal a run. In turn, the writer asked the governor’s office to provide “a copy/transcript of all communications with God, the Lord, Christ, Jesus or any other form of deity.”
Told there were none, he then tweeted, “Gov. Scott Walker’s office was unable to provide any transcripts of his conversations with God.”
Such bigotry is not new but has ramped up against, particularly, Republicans and Christians, over the past six years. Naturally, when Goddard was asked by Breitbart if he’d ever mocked Democrats who claimed to have sought God’s guidance, he did not respond.
