Mr. Right

I suppose I shouldn't have been surprised about this, but it does still blow my mind how the right manages to come up with consistently new and shocking bullshit.

Pat Robertson has now called radical Islam "satanic."

The master of intolerance has really outdone himself this time. I don't think you can get any more clear cut than that. "We are of God, you are of Satan." Yup. That about does it. Us versus them. You're with us, or you're against us.

This, Pat, is exactly what the fuck is WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY! God DAMN, MAN! Have you ever HEARD of the concept of understanding? Of outreach? Of, perhaps I'm reaching, the freedom of religion? Have you forgotten about Christianity's countless episodes of genocide and violence? The Inquisition? The Crusades? The Catholic Church's policy of non-involvement during the Holocaust?

Never mind. I'm embarassing myself, I suppose. You're hopeless, Pat.

God bless us. Every one.
