...Claude Allen...just another another fake "Christian" Republican Hypocrite who the biggest fake "Christian' Republican Hypocrite, George Bush promoted all the way to the top just because he was another fake "Christian" Republican Hypocrite. And, of course, since Claude Allen was black, he made a good stage prop for all the racists in the White House
"Did you hear the one about the president’s top domestic policy adviser? Tired of helping the president pick the pockets of the poor and middle class on behalf of the rich, he found a more profitable target. Or Target, actually. Last week, Claude Allen was arrested and charged with a scheme to rip off Target and other stores by "returning" more than $5,000 worth of merchandise he had allegedly never paid for in the first place. According to police, Allen would buy an item and put it in his car, then return and bring an identical item from the store shelves for a refund based on the original receipt. The Claude Allen story also is important in giving the lie once again to the GOP’s claim of moral superiority. In an interview before he got in hot water, Allen explained why, having been raised a Democrat, he had switched parties. "I realized after the fact that I agree more with the Republican Party platform, that it talked about independence, that it talked about individual responsibility, individual rights, it talked about the ability to guarantee opportunities, not outcomes," he said. Routinely described as born-again and a “devoted father,” Allen liked to talk about how his religious upbringing was a key factor in his steady march from a poor home to the pinnacle. Along the way, he befriended or worked for such advocates of color-blindness as the former senator Jesse Helms—one of the last of a generation recalling the days of segregation with fondness—and Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, known for biting the affirmative-action hand that gave him a leg up. Allen lunched often with Thomas, who apparently lectured him on propriety. "He would always say to make sure I conducted myself appropriately," Allen told an interviewer".You know, if Republicans weren't so pathetic they'd be laughable. From crack-head preachers to those who constantly invoke "God' but haven't been to church in a life-time, they're almost exclusively a bunch fake "Christian" hypocrites.
