Evan Thomas Compares Donald Rumsfeld to Satan in The New York Times

Former Newsweek correspondent Evan Thomas famously described Barack Obama on MSNBC as standing “above the world, he’s sort of God." In a Sunday New York Times book review of a new book by Donald Rumsfeld, he implies Rumsfeld is sort of Satan.

The book is titled When the Center Held, about the brief presidency of Gerald Ford. Thomas reached for John Bunyan’s 17th-century Christian allegory The Pilgrim’s Progress for metaphors about Ford:

Rumsfeld has written a kind of modern-day Pilgrim’s Progress about a good and godly man who enters the Slough of Despond (Washington, D.C.), is tried and tempted, but ascends to Celestial City with his virtue intact. That the narrator is a figure who has been likened in some quarters to Beelzebub makes the story more interesting, or at least curious.

Evan Thomas is evil. And very anti-American. He should leave America now and find a place where he will be happy. Hell might be good for a starter.

Nothing new here! Just another example of the essence of the Democrap Party; namely practicing the politics of FEAR, DIVISION, and HATRED! It has been that way for the last 50 to 100 years.

Exactly. What I see happening here on FR is a RINO rehabilitation when we’ve already exposed the Uniparty!

Evan Thomas is quite clearly a nut job.
