Radio Personality and Author Garrison Keillor Wants To Take Voting Privileges Away from Born Again ChristiansFiction!

Summary of eRumor:

The eRumor quotes NPR radio host Garrison Keillor as saying that he, as a Democrat, feels that born-again Christians should not be allowed to vote and that he is the national chairman of a campaign to pass a constitutional amendment to take the right to vote away from them.

The Truth:


The eRumor correctly states that the report is from WorldNetDaily.com, but neglects to say that the comments by Kieller were also described as part of a humorous speech he made in Chicago and his comments were met with laughter.
He is a well-known humorist and his remarks were not announcing a real effort for a constitutional amendment.
Whoever wrote this eRumor picked what he or she wanted out of the story and spread it as though it were a serious announcement.
