[Proud American]

U.S. Senate (and christian conservative republican) candidate Michael S. Steele garnered support from an unlikely source Monday -- former heavyweight boxing champion (and convicted muslim rapist) Mike Tyson.

At the news conference in Ohio, where he will return to the ring Friday night, Tyson wore a white-and-blue "Steele for U.S. Senate" T-shirt as he posed for photos with fans and signed autographs.

Tyson's appearance came on the same day that renowned boxing promoter Don King (christian with a manslaughter conviction), who has promoted the best fighters in the world -- from Muhammad Ali to Evander Holyfield to Tyson -- campaigned for Steele in Baltimore and in Prince George's County.

"Yeah, Michael Steele, y'all, the next United States senator of the great state of Maryland," King said as he stepped off the Republican nominee's big blue campaign bus and set foot on Pennsylvania Avenue yesterday. "He cares about Jesus."

Your anti-Christrian bigotry is duly noted and is not welcome here. Consider that a fair warning.

When 80% of the population is Christian, you tend to run across them from time to time. It's about as surprising as finding a Frenchman in Paris.

Besides, I'm sure there are plenty of criminals who support the Democrats. Christian criminals, even.

This is spam from a troll.

I don't know what "their" purpose is, but I can smell Proud American's purpose a light year away.

This liberal - who purports to be "proud" of being American :rolleyes: - has trolled this site before today.

PA, before you go about being shocked, shocked I tell you, about convicted rapists supporting republicans, you might want to look at the convicted criminals (as well as those who "dodged" conviction) who not only vote for democrats, but are actually among the democrat VIPs.

[DoctorDoom]

I'm almost certain that the "proud" refers to the kind of "pride" that pollutes our streets every year.

I suppose if you had fair-minded standards, you would notice the anti-Muslim bigotry as well - "former heavyweight boxing champion (and convicted muslim rapist) Mike Tyson."

I've looked at a few of Proud American's posts (out of 200+) - and I have no reason to believe he is a troll.

[DoctorDoom]

I couldn't care less whom he was quoting. It was an injection of religious bigotry into an article that did not call for it.

The actual article title is, "Tyson throws his support in Steele's corner". The only mention of rape is in passing in the last paragraph, and the only mention of religion is, "He cares about Jesus."

PA's title and the interjections serve one purpose: associate crime with Republicans and Christians. That's trolling on a board such as FreeConservatives, where the large majority of members are Christian conservatives/Republicans.

I suppose if you had fair-minded standards, you would notice the anti-Muslim bigotry as well - "former heavyweight boxing champion (and convicted muslim rapist) Mike Tyson."It isn't now and never has been bigotry to cite facts. But then, it requires fair-minded standards to deal straightforwardly with reality, rather than try to bend it to your political whims.

Yep. That's why liberals suck at dealing straightforwardly with reality without bending it to their political whims.
