At least eight major media outlets were covering Barack Obama when he cited the Sermon on the Mount to justify his support for same-sex civil unions – and rejected the condemnation of homosexual behavior in the Book of Romans – but not a single newspaper or news network ran the stunning story.

Only the campaign blogs on the Web sites of the Los Angeles Times and Washington Post mentioned Obama's sacrilege, and both blogs buried the information in the back paragraphs.

Clueless in Obama Nation

What if a presidential candidate claimed that his view on an issue drew its power from the Sermon on the Mount, which was delivered by no less an authority than Jesus Christ?

What if that view contradicted 2,000 years of church moral teaching?

Wouldn't this be a major news story?

It would if it involved a Republican. Or even another Democrat. But when it comes to Barack Obama, the media continue to ignore newsworthy topics and refuse to give the public substantive details about the senator's views on many key issues.
