In support of the nine people murdered by the Oregon shooter, GOP presidential candidate Ben Carson issued a tweet with one simple message: “I am a Christian.” The message, which included the hashtag #IamaChristian, went viral.
While many appreciated his show of support for those murdered for their religious belief, a number of others displayed their Christophobic bigotry with anti-Christian messages.
Here’s Carson’s short message:
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
Yes, #IamaChristian. pic.twitter.com/H25uHSfQ9q

Here’s just some of the responses:
@RealBenCarson @randygdub Hitler was a Christian.

Translation: Carson is Hitler because this hatemonger thinks the German dictator was a practicing Christian. For what it’s worth, I’ve also been called “little Hitler” for supporting religious freedom. On a faith and values website no less. The owner graciously removed the remark, but it shows the level of hate many have of Christians and Christianity.

One person was clearly clueless:
@RealBenCarson @jwiegand10 and that matters because?

Some displayed their Christophobia by Photoshopping the image:

This one probably demonstrates the maturity level of the left better than anything I could say:

More hatred and stupidity followed:
@RealBenCarson A cowardly man who uses his religion to bash other religions.

Let this be an object lesson, folks. When liberals speak of “tolerance,” this is what they really mean. I’ve said it time and again: Liberalism, at its core, is an ideology of rage and hate. And liberals prove it every single day.
It’s no wonder Tennessee Lt. Governor Ron Ramsey warned Christians to arm themselves.
