>>It demonstrates Bauer's integrity. He's guided by principle...

What? LOL. Precisely wrong.

As Brit Hume and the NR article pointed out, Bauer had approved of McCain's linkage of Robertson and Falwell with Sharpton and Farrakhan. Bauer stood on the stage as the words were delivered. Now, with the fallout, Bauer demands an apology. Just the opposite of integrity. I'll bet Bauer loses his position.

>>The hypocrisy of the Religious Right is nauseating.

No. Just Bauer's and McCain's.

I just watched McCain and Chris Matthews on MSNBC. McCain danced his Clintonesque jig around his lies and his anti-Catholic smear of Bush. Few were buying.

But to your point, McCain sat there and embraced your hated Religious Right - all those except Robertson and Falwell. Matthews asked McCain why he embraced Bauer and attacked the other two. The unspoken answer was clear - because the latter supported McCain's opponent.

As for me, I'm a libertarian. I never get involved in religious debates because I believe it's a private matter. I don't personally know any member of the Religious Right. But I don't like attacks on the religious from demagogues looking for Media approval or the votes of those who hate that group. I'm also a realist, who'll vote for McCain if he wins the GOP nod because of AlGore and the damage he would do.
