Very smart, yes (although IMHO McCain has still carried WAY too much water, or Kool-Aid, for the Administration on Iraq).
But not one it is likely Republican voters will listen to. (Nor are they likely to listen to McCain’s latest endorsement, Tom Kean, late of the 9/11 Commission and the way-too-moderate to GOP presidential primary voters ex-governor of “New Juh-sey.”)

Dear Mr. Sullivan,
I know of no Christian that believes, or agrees with Mr. Robertson that feminists and gays are responsible for the Muslim Jihadists attacking the U.S. on 9/11. Though many believe that feminists and gays, as cause and effect (since the acceptance of feminism and homosexuality took root in our society through secular means), play a major role in the incredible rise of promiscuity and sexual perversion being ubiquitous in our youth culture.

Well, it seems like a remarkably smart bit of stand-alone exegesis. Unless you know that the latest polls show John McCain the presently strongest Republican against Hillary Clinton. All the other Republican campaigns are, in the view of insiders, in various kinds of trouble. Sullivan is vehemently anti-Hillary (which is hard to miss), that’s the common thread to his various championing of the likes of Obama and McCain.
If you’ve seen the McCain ads going out to New Hampshire, as I have the misfortune to every time I watch the local news, they’re not that compelling and even somewhat painful. His campaign can’t quite disguise that he’s getting brittle and uneven. In other coverage out of NH he’s even looking physically frail. The ads even reflect a way of looking at things that belongs in the 1960s and 1970s, not 2008.

Well, I’m not sure anyone will vote for McCain on Sullivan’s recommendation since Sullivan is both gay and conservative, neither of which has been appealing to the GOP base, but I happen to agree with him in this case.
Jillian, you may be right. about Sullivan’s anti-Hillary motive. I keep imagining Giuliani, who looks like he still might get beat up on a fifth-grade playground making the case that we need him to protect us while standing next to Mother Superior. It seems, somehow, like a flawed strategy.

Donny: “I know of no Christian that believes, or agrees with Mr. Robertson that feminists and gays are responsible for the Muslim Jihadists attacking the U.S. on 9/11.”
So what you are saying is that Jerry Falwell was not a Christian. I’m assuming that you knew of him, although I may be wrong in that.
It would be so much easier if the “phony Christians” could be identified BEFORE they blew off their mouths (or blew up something else, as in the case of Paul Hill and Eric Rudolph). It might also help if the “real Christians” helped police their own ranks, much as they have asked Muslims in this country to do with their own.
