The hate needs to stop. Yet because he is of a particular sect of Christianity, Kind barbecues him like a side of spare ribs. As a conservative, I like to read the Pitch because I am interested in a wide spectrum of ideas. However, I was shocked by the intolerance expressed by Mark Kind in the unfair article on John Ashcroft and his Christian beliefs. What was truly amazing is the lack of any real evidence for the kind of charges Kind makes.
Ignorance run amok.
Everyone in the Assemblies of God does not speak in tongues, nor are they expected to. What little we found out about the Assemblies of God was that early leaders of the church were accused of racism and of course John Ashcroft was somehow entirely responsible. The most laughable part was when Kind implied that because Ashcroft married a white woman, his position on interracial marriage was obviously one of racism. Using the same logic, according to Kind, every black man who marries a black woman also must have racist views on interracial marriage. I know that isn't true, nor would any reasonable person think so.
