Supply-side Jesus is not the real Jesus.  He\u2019s an invention of Republican theocons to justify their pseudo-Christian gospel of war, greed, injustice, and hate.  The followers of Supply-side Jesus give authentic Christians a bad name, by their hateful behavior such as the Republican demonstrations at an ICNA fundraiser for a women\u2019s shelter and aid to the homeless.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"4jesus-gun\"Last month, the local chapter of the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) held a fundraiser<\/a> in Orange County, CA to raise money for a womens\u2019 shelter and for services for the homeless in Southern California.<\/p>\n

While this isn\u2019t a cause that most Americans would find objectionable, hundreds of far-right protesters descended on the event and jeered at and maligned the events\u2019 attendees, who were mostly Muslim families who lived in the area. The local chapter of the civil rights group Council on American-Islamic Relations videotaped many of these demonstrators harassing the families<\/strong> as they entered the building, screaming, \u201cGo back home!\u201d and \u201cYou beat up your wife too? Are you a molester?\u201d Watch it:<\/p>\n
