Wow, that's pretty impressive sourcing.
Alarm bells are ringing among liberals in the media that Wisconsin governor and unflappable conservative Scott Walker could well pose a problem for Hillary Clinton's (second) presumptive coronation as president.
Accordingly, leftist scribes have decided to go after Walker in two perceived areas of vulnerability, neither of which actually are -- his Christian faith and lack of a college degree.
Latest example of this -- Political Wire blogger Taegan Goddard writing a post yesterday with this assertive headline -- "Walker Has Not Communicated with God."
How could Goddard possibly know for certain, one might ask. He helpfully elaborates --
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) frequently says he's waiting for "God's calling" to run for president, so he was recently asked under public records laws to provide "a copy/transcript of all communications with God, the Lord, Christ, Jesus or any other form of deity."
Walker's office responded that no such records exists. (sic)
Isn't Goddard the clever one, quickly assuming that any and all discourse between the Almightly and one of His humble servants must be mediated through The State?
Goddard's first link in his post leads to an earlier PoliticalWire post by Goddard yesterday in which he quotes Walker from the Wall Street Journal --
I'm still trying to decipher if this is God's calling. You've got to be crazy to want to be the president of the United States. You've got to be crazy. To look at what it does to a person and a family, you've got to be crazy. But you should only do it if you feel that God's called you to get in there and make a difference.
Ahhh, that explains why Goddard hit up Walker's office with the public records request -- or was it Goddard who did this? He's curiously vague on this point, as if aware that what's happening here is so asinine that he should refrain from explicitly claiming ownership.
His second link brings you to one of those annoying "Oops! Page Not Found" messages, specifically at the home page of the "Freedom From Religion foundation." Apparently the home page for the "Foundation to Ban Religion" wasn't available.
Is it remotely possible to believe Goddard would have written similar tripe about Democrat House member Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress, if Ellison said he was awaiting "Allah's guidance" on whether to run for re-election? God only knows.
