Please, the man says enough things that are legitimately horrid, don't turn him into a martyr by taking everything he says in the worst light possible.
He's not even worthy of His Noodliness.
Thank you Dino, for I have sinned. My last vote was ....
Lie and cheat and step on peoples feet
But now I`m steppin` on the glory
Sal-vation is my beat
Whoa yeah
Because I`m saved (saved), saved (saved)
People let me tell you `bout a, kingdom come
You know I`m saved (saved), saved (saved)
I can-a preach until you`re, deaf and dumb
I`m in that soul-savin` army, beatin` on that big a-bass drum
Comrade Rossi should listen to him, not ignore what Jesus said.
Uh, no. "Sinners, saints, saved" refers to actual sinners, saints, and saved. It's not a metaphor. Maybe Rossi didn't mean it that way, but then again, maybe he did.
If Rossi had said his campaign didn't have enough time to work on every voter, so "we'll have to do some triage" would you accuse him of wanting some voters to die due to lack of medical care?
Given the context, any thinking person can see Rossi's statement was an inapt metaphor and nothing more. However the context is often lost in sound byte journalism.
Hopefully your readers will take the time look to beyond the kind of bumper sticker superficialities embodied in your piece. If too many do not, we'll be doomed to superficial, slick leaders.
