| Howard Dean - All Jews (and dogs?) Can Go To Heaven |
| 2007-11-13 |
| Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean came out for inclusive team prayers in public schools while speaking Sunday to a gathering of thousands of Jewish leaders, according to a leading Jewish news agency. In another statement likely to stir debate among the evangelical Christians his party is urgently trying to court, Dean also asserted "there are no bars to heaven for anybody," according to the report by JTA, a 90-year-old non-profit organization which calls itself "the global news service of the Jewish people." The remarks in Nashville, Tenn., come at a time when Democratic candidates in general – and the DNC in particular – have been increasing outreach to voters for whom faith and values is a decisive issue. |
