WashPost Blogger: Tony Dungy's Religious, Just Like 9/11 Aggressors And Racists
NewsBusters ^ | 3/28/2007 | Tim Graham

Those who remember how quickly the leftists drove conservative blogger Ben Domenech out of the Washington Post blogging corps after three days (with no conservative replacement) should know that the liberal cast of bloggers remain untouched (and perhaps, in some cases, unread). I've been tipped to one Emil Steiner today, taking off after Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy for supporting a marriage-protection bill in Illinois. This, to Steiner, makes him akin to the religious folks who brought 9/11, not to mention foolish religious advocates of "racial purity, ethnic cleansing, and drinking the Kool Aid." Most importantly, Steiner thought Dungy's position showed him to be a traitor to his race:

Though Dungy's position may not constitute "gay-bashing" per se, it certainly implies that homosexual Americans are not entitled to the same rights as heterosexual citizens, much the same way as conservatives have in the past condemned mixed racial marriages in support of "family values." Moreover, the pretext of acting on "the Lord's behalf" has for millennia been used by some as an excuse for the most unholy acts, among them 9/11. Though supporters of Dungy are quick to point out he is only "exercising his First Amendment right," so too, then, are those who advocate for racial purity, ethnic cleansing and drinking the Kool Aid.

The bottom line is that by disenfranchising a group of citizens because of his religion, Dungy is essentially placing the values of church above the rights of the State. Even though he is entitled to that opinion of inequality, the government is not entitled to act upon it. And while, as some have said, Tony Dungy's Super Bowl triumph illustrated how black people are capable of anything white people are, his comments seemingly reinforce that discrimination is among those capacities.

Yes, and so was the ACLU when they defended Klan marchers, and so were the anti-war protesters last week, and so is this liberal blogger - expressing his 1st Amendment right.

I guess that makes him a racist, skinhead, nazi, spawn of KKK baby whale killers, eh?

Here's the thing. Mixed marriages are by nature not sinful. It is one man and one woman just as the good Lord intended. Skin color doesn't matter one iota. In fact, it matters more to liberals, as one liberal wants affirmative action for over 200 years to make up for slavery and discrimnation.

"Moreover, the pretext of acting on "the Lord's behalf" has for millennia been used by some as an excuse for the most unholy acts, among them 9/11."

Oh, so he is comparing the Christian God to Allah? That is so illogical that it doesn't desrve a response. Besides, he is offending Muslims which are part of the liberal tent. He ought to retract that statement.

Buzzer sound! Sticking a penis in an anus is not the same as having black, brown or white for that matter, skin.

"Teach our kids." Yes. the NEA-AFT is the left-wing of the Democratic Party and wholly in the pocket of gay activists.

Homosexuality is, biologically speaking, quite pointless. Yet they refuse to concede that choice might be involved.
