WaPo Columnist Compares Christians to KKK, Says They Love 'Torture'
Newsbusters.org ^ | 12/19/07 | Warner Todd Huston

Posted on 12/19/2007 6:15:05 AM PST by Mobile Vulgus

After catching Harold Meyerson's latest Washington Post hatemongering against religion in general, Christians in particular, and Republicans especially, all I could say was just WOW! This thing is nearly unhinged and if you took the word Christian out and replaced it with any of the favored, protected minorities that the MSM guards like mother hens, it would be indistinguishable from the kind of pure bigotry that would result in Meyerson's utter ostracizing should it have been written about those protected classes. Calling Republicans/Christians torturers, abusers of immigrants, members of the KKK, bigots and even mean, Meyerson skipped only the Nazi and Hitler references making one wonder if his hatred for Christians isn't fully sated after all in this piece and if there is more seething bile that he decided it was better not to air?

There is absolutely no substance to Meyerson's piece at all. It is filled with lies, mischaracterizations, blatant spin and name-calling. In fact, it is nothing but a 12 paragraph excuse to call Christians names, so I won't waste time trying to refute his garbage as it is so bigoted and full of lies that it defies reply -- that and it would take far more time than I'm willing to give it. But, here is a list of all the names he calls Christians and Republicans and just some of his outrageously off-base "analysis" in this piece of trash.

See what I mean? There is no "debate" here, nothing to say in reply to this hater because there isn't a single sentient point made by Meyerson. His just let lose a stream of hate that is as baseless and lacking of real proof as any a bigot ever devised against his most hated segment of humanity.

In the final analysis, Meyerson complains about the right's "hypocrisy" yet so revels in his own that it makes your head spin. After all, as he complains that the right is so overly concerned about religion in politics, he wants it utterly eliminated from the public sphere, then he complains that the right isn't "tolerant" enough. Yet, he so pummels Christians and religion showing he is just as intolerant in the opposite direction as those he claims to hate so much.

Like I said, reading Meyerson's piece boggles the mind. It really has to be read in its entirety to be believed. This kind of hatred would never be allowed by a newspaper should it have been leveled against Jews, blacks or gays, et al. This is the kind of stuff you'd see from the presses of dictators and tyrants' in their efforts to discredit their enemies. This is a China's or a Chavez' style, not that of a level headed democrat.

All you can say is just WOW!

Why isn’t this hate speech? If you replaced Christian with the name of any other non-Christian religion, even the Post would have no trouble seeing this piece for what it is.

If Christians were really so intolerant, they would have gotten rid of liberal Jews long ago, instead of putting up with their ankle-biting sniping at something they don’t understand and have no part in.

Intolerance is only intolerable when it is against perverts.

Yawn. A self-hating Jew writes badly about Christians. And he’s employed by the Washington Post.

Can it be any more sterotypical? :)

As I was making gingerbread cookies for my students this weekend, I couldn’t help but think of all I had to do yet before Christmas. How will I ever find time to build a wooden cross, fill my portable gas container, buy a new lighter. . .

Wow for sure, and I bet if someone looked into his childhood, he came from a broken family or was abused mentally, or something similar. That kind of hate only comes from an upbringing of neglect in some form, or a huge sense of personal failure. I truly feel sorry for him.

Democrats can stump speech in black churches from the pulpit on Sundays before election day and there is no outcry from the antiChristian Left.

REVEREND Al Sharpton can run for President and there is no one on the Left asking from where comes his title of “Reverend”.

Bill Clinton can carry a show Bible that is bigger than the NYC phonebook to Church during his impeachment hearings over perjury during a sexual harassment trial and there is no outcry from the Left.

They know that this “ol’ time religion” “superstitious bunk” is something they have to put up with and shuck and jive the rubes over. So the Republicans get debate questions over Evolution but no Democrats are asked questions of matters of faith. Belief in God does not prohibit support for the theory of Evolution, but to say that God did not CREATE anything is to say that God evolved like everything else (leaving the possibility for multiple) OR the God does not exist. So why not ask the Democrats at the next debate, “Did God create this world or not?”.

Would it matter that the Democrats were behind the KKK?

The Stalinist Left is getting their talking points out early this scampaign because they know that they continue to lose elections over “religious bigotry” over things like homosexuality.

The Black Community doesn’t buy the agenda they are selling and have to be made to lose their religion to adopt the liberal position on every issue.

So bring up the KKK and tell them they are being “Oreo cookies”, black on the outside but white on the inside. The Democrats want everyone’s vote even if they radically disagree with those voters.

His boyfriend must have stayed out all night, causing Mr Hateman to go into a self-righteous tizzy. I’m surprised he and his goose-stepping buddies aren’t out smashing windows at Christian book stores.

I think it’s time for us to contact the Washington Post and call for the termination of bigots like this jerkoff.

I read, “American Fascists” just to see how the bigotry is being nurtured in these days. What a vile screed it was, but it seems to be the template for this kind of stuff.

These Christophobes have a great deal of hatred to discharge. Very disturbing people.

Interesting too that he glosses over the FACTS that when the KKK was founded, it specifically included Republicans alongside Catholics and black people as the groups to target because the KKK was founded by Democrats.

He discusses the KKK of the 1920s but again neglects to mention that there were Democrat Klansmen.

And of course he omits the detail that there was a Klansman RECRUITER who still sits in the Senate and is a Democrat - Senator Robert Byrd. AND Mr. Byrd still uses the N-word PROUDLY declaring that there are black N*****S and white N******S.

Racism is an ugly thing. So is discrimination against Christians.
