"The Republican debate audience has been an incredible measure of what the GOP believes. They have booed a gay soldier, cheered for executions, cheered for letting a sick uninsured man die, and cheered child labor. And now they have booed basic Christian law laid down by Christ himself. The Republican Party should be ashamed to call themselves Christians."
This is because the right wing has no capacity for shame
Conservative Audience Boos 'The Golden Rule' During GOP Debate
By Stephen D. Foster Jr.
As if the Republican Party hadn't already damaged itself enough since August, the audience of yet another GOP Debate has booed something that seriously questions their claims of being true Christians.
During the Fox News/Twitter Debate in South Carolina on Sunday, the conservative audience booed the Golden Rule which is a pillar of Christian law in the Bible. In Matthew 7:12, Christ says "Do to others whatever you would have them do to you. This is the law and the prophets."
Well, when Ron Paul suggested that the United States practice the Golden Rule in foreign policy, the Republican audience booed him.
RON PAUL: "My point is that if another country does to us what we do to others, we are not going to like it very much. I would say that we maybe ought to consider the golden rule in foreign policy. Don't do to other nations what we don't want them to do to us. We endlessly bomb these countries, and then we wonder why they get upset with us?"
AUDIENCE: [Boos]
