Because these were specifically Christians who were in church observing Easter.

After all, even Fox News had it right.

Tourists, Easter worshippers lament closure of Notre Dame

Because no one cares.......Are you offended Trump called them "people"? I'm not. If those people were in church during Easter worship, then I know they were Christians. You guys are overplaying this, and end up looking hyper-PC.

It has nothing to do with not understanding who they were talking about. As I said, it's not a big deal to me but yeah, I would like leaders and journalists to write and speak correctly.

To me, the fact that they BOTH called them that is proof of some orchestrated Democrat message which to me is the point. They orchestrated a message purposely leaving out Christian.


The outrage in this thread by the obvious left leaners is proof of their hatred of Christianity. And I am not even Christian.

I'm sorry if its not PC enough for you.
The correct words selected mean a lot. Before my parents became Christians, growing up we went to Easter Service on Sunday even though we didn't go to church any other time. We did not worship Easter. BIG difference.

Which would have been the better route for Obama and Hillary to go.

We don't because we don't care for large crowds. They are not brands. The are denominations.
In the end they believe in God the Father, Jesus Christ.

You are correct. The media cant seem to pull their heads out of their butts nor pull out a dictionary to make sure they use words the right way.

There have been a few things over the past week that I have scratched my head and asked if this is really what our world has come to. It's truly becoming a mad, mad world.

I find the democrat leaders bigoted and prejudiced toward christians, this single religious group. If others are too blind to see this, perhaps they should look at themselves and ask why?
Faux outrage.

So stupid.

Sunday worshippers? That would be people attending services on a Sunday. It's a common phrase.

Easter worshippers? That would be people attending services on Easter.

There is no insult to call someone an Easter worshipper.

The insult is to the intelligence of all thinking people, to feign outrage at the use of what is an accurate description. The outrage is to the victims of these attacks, to use them as fodder for political bs.

BS. Easter-worshippers don't worship Easter. They worship the Lord on Easter. Just like Sunday-worshippers don't worship Sunday. They worship the Lord on Sunday.

Then you have no right to be outraged at something so stupid. I am a Christian and I have no issue with what Obama said. What I have an issue with is your Dear Leader calling himself a Christian and the hypocrisy of the religious right in supporting a man who is obviously not a Christian.
