Good job, Josh. Keep up the good work!

Josh, I don't know where Connelly gets off with that screed. First of all, how a politician's religion may or may not affect their perspective on lawmaking is a legitimate question. Jack Kennedy certainly got asked about being Catholic. People have concerns about Mitt the Mormon. Your piece walks a fine line, it's true, but it's primarily raising a question.

Secondly, to illustrate that Reichert "has a mind of his own" Connelly mentions the two examples your article also covers (while not mentioning that you do so) as if a canny politician would never think of taking up a few outlier positions as proof of free-thinking. Anecdotes about Teri Schiavo don't convey the uniformity of Reichert's voting record. Connelly should be ashamed he bothered to wake up to write that piece.

You know, that's my morning paper. I don't need that kind of pap first thing in the a.m.

Mr. Poe, @4...

I really shouldn't be giggling about the words "stab your bushes with a sword" but I am.

Thank you. :)

Josh, the headline says it all: you are a bigot. You've proved it again and again and again. Religion: Jewish people GOOD, Lutheran Synod members BAD. Anthiests GREAT, Christians EVIL. White people "smart", Hispanics "lefty". You hate everyone who isn't from your narrow frame of reference. You are clearly the biggest hypocrite in Seattle journalism -- a tough bar to jump considering some of our radio talk show hosts. But Josh, you set the record for hypocritical bigotry. You outta try out for the Olympics.

Josh,
You do all sorts of hits on people without giving them a chance to reply, clarify or defend themselves.

Oh, and you're an asshole too.

Wow Josh, how many exes do you have?

Other than that, it's late so I'll be lazy and just agree with #2.

Bigot would be appropriate if you thought all LCMS members were unfit for holding public office. You're judging Reichert based upon his votes, and inferring that his religion is the motivating factor. You may be jumping to a conclusion, but that doesn't make you a bigot.

Fuck the Missouri Synod. Fuck evangelical christians. Fuck Dave Fourth Reich-ert.

The right wing is DESTROYING our country today, in the name of their agrarian sun/earth god hybrid dreamed up by some goat-fuckers two thousand years ago. If you don't agree, you're part of the problem- fuck straight off.

... AND

remember Josh thinks Della is stupid ... of course it isn't racist to often describe Black Asian and Hispanic leaders in term of how "stupid" they are ...

White political leaders you vehemently disagree with ...or mock their footwear ... or fat belly ... etc.

Very Stranger racist.
