Obama: Faith got hijacked by the Christian Right
By Barack Obama, explaining the statement he had made that "Faith got hijacked, partly because of the so-called leaders of the Christian Right, all too eager to exploit what divides us."My intention was to contrast the heated partisan rhetoric of a distinct minority of Christian leaders with the vast majority of Evangelical Christians - conservatives included - who believe that hate has no place in our politics. When you have pastors and television pundits who appear to explicitly coordinate with one political party; when you're implying that your fellow Americans are traitors, terrorist sympathizers or akin to the devil himself; then I think you're attempting to hijack the faith of those who follow you for your own personal or political ends.
