Another chapter of: Here it comes...Sean Hannity and Rick Santorum attacked Barack Obama's faith and church last night on H&C. This is nothing new for Hannity since he smeared it before. How quickly he forgets (OK, he didn't forget) that he defended Mitt Romney's faith and was vehemently opposed to a litmus test being applied to the former LDS Governor.

What he appears to be saying is that we need to take religion off the table in the context of the politics and especially the presidential campaign, and to disregard the religious preferences of the candidates. It's "fundamentally unfair," and Mr. Hannity is exactly right. Of course, I would add that it's unconstitutional to mix religion and politics all around, but you know -- baby steps onto the elevator...read on
