In case you missed it, here's a new ad attacking Rep. Bobby Jindal, who's cruising to victory in Louisiana's gubernatorial election:

As the nice lady says, you can read the Jindal articles at www.jindalonreligion.com and decide whether the state Democratic party is being fair -- just not without a subscription.

Ed Morrissey and NRO have already tackled the dishonesty in the ad, which is flagrant. You can, however, read what the state Democratic party wants you to believe is the worst of the articles on Free Republic, "How Catholicism is Different," which was originally published in the New Oxford Review, December 1996.

The article is mainly an apologetic. Jindal is defending his Catholic faith, not attacking Protestants, as his conclusion makes completely clear:

I trust I have provided enough evidence to indicate that the Catholic Church deserves a careful examination by non-Catholics. It is not intellectually honest to ignore an institution with such a long and distinguished history and with such an impressively global reach. I am not asking non-Catholics to investigate the claims of my neighborhood minister, but rather am presenting a 2,000-year-old tradition, encompassing giants like Aquinas and Newman, with almost a billion living members, including modern prophets like Mother Teresa and Pope John Paul II.

Nonetheless, the Catholic Church must live up to her name by incorporating the many Spirit-led movements found outside her walls. For example, the energy and fervor that animate the Baptist and Pentecostal denominations, the stirring biblical preaching of the Lutherans and Calvinists, and the liturgical solemnity of the Anglicans must find expression within Catholicism.

I am thrilled by the recent ecumenical discussions that have resulted in Catholics and Evangelicals discovering what they have in common, in terms of both theology and morality, and as exemplified by joining to oppose abortion and other fruits of an increasingly secular society, but I do not want our Evangelical friends to overlook those beliefs that make Catholicism unique. The challenge is for all Christians to follow Jesus wherever He leads; one significant part of that challenge is to consider seriously the claims of the Catholic Church.

Does that sound like someone who doesn't respect other religions, as the ad said or as Daily Kos wants you to believe? Those who put out his garbage, as well as those who legitimize it, should be ashamed.
