Bristol Palin: 'Warning: You Might Lose IQ Points By Watching This MSNBC Clip'

As NewsBusters previously reported, MSNBC's Joy Reid on Thursday badly misinterpreted an Old Testament passage to ridicule former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin for having a Christmas tree on Christmas.

On Saturday, Palin's daughter Bristol took to her blog to respond to Reid in a piece she marvelously titled "Warning: You Might Lose IQ Points by Watching this MSNBC Clip":

I’m happy that channel is now so concerned with the Bible though. But isn’t it amazing that the host believes there’s a passage in Jeremiah that is talking about CHRISTMAS trees?

That is soo funny.

Is that next to the verses in Lamentations about Rudolph?

Or the one in Leviticus about Frosty the Snowman?

It’s about the best example of Palin Derangement Syndrome I’ve seen lately: using an Old Testament Bible verse about idolatry to talk about a modern Christian tradition? Newsflash, MSNBC: no one worships Christmas trees. Not to mention Jesus was born hundreds of years after that passage was written.

Welcome to MSNBC, Bristol - a place where facts are things to ignore when they interfere with your agenda.

But Palin wasn't finished mocking MSNBC, for she concluded her piece with a video clip from Adam Sandler's "Billy Madison" that perfectly describes what regular viewers of this so-called "news network" see virtually 24/7:

Go Bristol go! What a great American family!

[Popman]

Wow... I did in fact lose IQ after watching that video clip...

[who knows what evil?]

Joy...shouldn’t you be terrorizing a mall somewhere?

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

My IQ dropped well below the Mendoza line....this woman is Dingbatting a thousand

[TigersEye]

MSLSD should put up a viewer warning...

WARNING: WATCHING THIS NETWORK DESTROYS BRAIN CELLS 100Xs FASTER THAN GRAIN ALCOHOL!

Although Christians that pay attention are used to atheists and other Christian-haters attempting to use scripture, especially Old Testament laws, etc. to ridicule Christians, Bristol Palin's call out of the idiotic MSNBC host attempting to equate the Palin Christmas tree to idol worship is welcomed.

Just as Bristol Palin posted, Christians do not worship a tree or the day of worship of an ancient 'sun god' that was supposedly the basis for choosing December 25th as the birthday of Jesus. That atheists still attempt to use this absurd premise as a basis to attack Christianity and, in this instance, the Palin family, demonstrates their (a) Biblical ignorance and, (b) their obsession with anything Palin, who, they never tire of telling us, is 'irrelevant'. I think not.

Just when I think MSNBC can’t get any lower, they mock someone’s religious beliefs? I guess they know their audience though.

[Still Thinking]

When it comes to anti-idol scriptures (the proper application of Jer 10:10), I always get a kick out of Isa 44:14-17. Some guy’s out cutting wood and uses some of what he’s cut for his own use. He cooks his food on half a log and fashions the other half into a god to worship. I’m always concerned what happens if he gets the divine and caloric ends mixed up!

[TigersEye]

Are you thinking Chris Christie or what?

[Still Thinking]

Christie....worship....confused with.....food...

Hmmm, my brain never took it there, but I think you nailed it!

[RichInOC]

Just when you think MSNBC’s hit bottom when it comes to clownery...they break out the drill.

[TigersEye]

I think I found his prayer circle...

Perhaps Joy can be groomed to take Sheila Jackson Lee’s district. She probably would love to see the flag Neil Armstrong planted on mars.

[Sarah Barracuda]

GO BRISTOL!! And she’s right, watching MSLSD literally kills brain cells, but luckily the morons who watch MSNBC dont have brains anyway so they dont lose anything

[Col Freeper]

Embracing the Stoopid. They're like Moths to a flame, aren't they?

[chiefqc]

Wow, you just can’t make this stuff up, I don’t think you could find someone that stupid to utter word from the Bible that they nothing about and use them out of contect to mock omeone else.

[Mark17]

Wow... I did in fact lose IQ after watching that video clip...

I don't want to lose any brain cells from watching it, so I will just ask, is Joy Reid a racist?

[Arrowhead1952]

so I will just ask, is Joy Reid a racist?

That my FRiend, is the understatement of the year.
