The only thing "Christian" about the right is the wording on their bumperstickers. They certain don't exhibit any Christ-like behavior. Just ask one of them to care for the sick and the poor, or obey the Ten Commandments. Ask them to refrain from sitting in judgment, or to stop spreading their messages of anger and hate. They aren't Christians, and I suspect the verse that most applies to how Jesus would view them is John 11:35.
