Political Insider: Video Documents “Race for ‘Pastor in Chief’”

Jewish leaders continue to fret about the trend of dragging private religious matters into political campaigns – something that shows no sign of abating as the presidential election campaigns move into high gear.

To punctuate the point, a leading church-state watchdog group has produced a list of the “Top Ten Moments in the Race for ‘Pastor in Chief’”

And The Interfaith Alliance, which criticizes the “disproportionate role religion has played during the primary season, with candidates and the media shouldering the responsibility,” has produced a flashy video documenting some of the alleged abuses.

Watch the video here:

Among the top abuses: former GOP contender Mitt Romney being asked if he believes “every word” of the Bible, a CNN interviewer who asked Democrat John Edwards to name his “greatest sin” and Sen. Barack Obama’s notorious “committed Christian” brochure.
