Same "liberal church" tag from CNN too



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Ok, this is beginning to strike as rather bigoted of both AP and CNN. Is the United Church of Christ somehow LESS a church than the Baptists or Catholics because the UCC hates fewer people than many of the other Christian faiths? Is the UCC less a "real" faith? What is this "liberal" crap?

As a professional writer with a rather keen ear, it sounds to me like this is a way to belittle or at least lessen the value or worth of the UCC ("I mean, you know, they're a 'liberal' church (fingers making quote marks in the air)). It dimishes who they are, marks them as "activists" or "political" or as I noted below "people with an agenda" - rather than simple good Christian folk like those humble and lovable Catholics and Baptists.

It's time someone rattled some cages at AP and CNN and reminded them that God isn't just for conservatives, and the only "real" church is one that hates entire classes of citizens.
