Redstate.com editor Erick Erickson went a bit further than Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) on Saturday, casting doubt as to whether President Barack Obama is a Christian.

Walker’s comments followed The Washington Post reporting that Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) said he didn’t know if Obama is a Christian.

“I don’t know,” Walker said when asked about Obama’s faith.

  1. Now THIS is a surprise.

  2. The pope doesn’t think Jesus is the only way to heaven either.

    Pope Francis continues to show he’s anything but traditional. During a recent public appearance, Francis comforted a boy whose dog had died, noting, “One day, we will see our animals again in the eternity of Christ. Paradise is open to all of God’s creatures.”

    Come on now… you know that folks like Erickson don’t think Catholics are really Christians either. The Know-Nothing Party loved attacking the “Papists”, and plenty of Protestants thought JFK shouldn’t be elected President — I’m sure in private many of these Christian Right types mutter the same thing. (Although they seem pretty happy with some of the Catholics on the Supreme Court…)

  4. he stopped the use of torture. how christian could he possibly be?

  5. Reporters outraged by suggestion Obama isn’t a Christian are the same
    ones who won’t ask Obama if he thinks Jesus is the only way to Heaven.

    And probably the same ones who won’t ask him if the White Rabbit is the only way to Wonderland or if Peter Pan is the only way to Neverland.
