North Carolina Republican Congressman Howard Coble last week voted in favor of the resolution against the troop surge in Iraq.

And now someone wants him dead.

To TRAITOR Coble All traitors to America come to ugly ends either by the hand of God or by the hand of man.

This statement reflects perfectly the sentiment in the right-wing religious community.

It’s sad how the concept of God is used by those who disagree with people. It’s the same thing that I hear from non-Jewish religious people– “you’re going to hell.”

It’s upsetting, it’s disturbing and it’s scary to know that there are people out there who believe in a God that strikes people down dead.

Why not debate, why not take action– why are they so focused on killing those who believe differently?

Again, the religious right is so scared of Muslim extremists taking control of the United States they fail to see how their tactics are a mirror image.
