“He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone”

[sazemisery]

Just saying.

1. People only quote that when they want to protect people they like.

Most of the time it's "Heave away folks"

[Fenris]

3. Especially when they're Republicans.

4. If his wife can forgive him then hey who am I to judge,

[cliffordu]

5. Yep. My feelings on the matter, exactly.

[Berry Cool]

16. Funny, few people said "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone"

when Tim Russert died.

The stones came flying big, hard, fast and heavy.

2. That reminds me of a joke...

The punchline is,

"Honestly, mom, sometimes you can be the biggest drag."

6. People who 'lead', be it in church or politics are "set to a higher standard" ......

to "lead by example". We're all disappointed/the 'lessor' when we are disappointed by their transgressions.

10. By that standard Martin Luther King would not have much of legacy

if you discount the man because of his affairs.

[Mandate My Ass]

17. People who look to "leaders" to behave in a certain manner

must have a pretty piss poor moral compass. I learned my morals from my parents and I don't need or want anybody's "examplary" lifestyle to emulate. I also don't need to come off like some self-righteous buffoon when somebody I don't even know and never will screws up.

7. Sin all you want, but just don't fucking run for President afterwards.

[saracat]

8. Boy, that will narrow the field!

[avaistheone1]

11. Then all we are going to get are the bozos.

[Raine]

9. I'm not running

for office, if I ever do I'll be sure to :hide: from the stones coming my way.

[HispanicUprising]

12. Great, now I feel so much better.

[RNdaSilva]

13. Agree...needs to be repeated frequently.

[WinkyDink]

14. Are you posting this in the "McCain's first wife" threads??

[TexasObserver]

15. This is politics, not Vacation Bible School.

Does "render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's" ring a bell, Bible scholar?

This is politics, and it is about accountability. Jesus stopped an execution, he didn't stop condemnation for one who had a moral failing.

No one is calling for the death penalty for John Edwards for adultery. If they were, your response might have some relevance.
