GOP Rep. Still Thinks Liberals Hate God

Politico reports:

Rep. Todd Akin is standing by his remark that “the heart of liberalism really is a hatred for God” after an uproar from liberal clergy members.

Akin (R-Mo.) told Family Research Council President Tony Perkins on his radio show Friday that “the heart of liberalism really is a hatred for God and a belief that government should replace God, ” in a discussion of NBC editing out the phrase “under God” from the Pledge of Allegiance during the network’s telecast of the U.S. Open two weeks ago.

His remarks were first reported by liberal blogs Think Progress and Right Wing Watch.
