a piece the TFP calls "blasphemous."

I wish that they wouldn't use the word "blasphemous" to describe what is better described as "bigoted." (Even if it is in fact blasphemous.)

Calling something "blasphemous" just does not register with the media elites because they see nothing wrong with blasphemy. Whereas, if you call the same thing "racist" or "bigoted" or "biased," you push the buttons that get the reaction you want.

Blasphemous don't apply as there is no accusation against God. Ya'll need to learn what the terms actually mean. Further more, I've seen more bigoted remarks on the walls of men's rooms. There is nothing bigoted there unless you can show us the guy has an uninformed and directed hatred - the which is not displayed here. The only thing displayed is a rather sick, albeit somewhat factually based, sense of humor. In short, grow up. Bad taste don't make him a blasphemer anymore than pretense makes a Catholic christian.

I agree. It's blasphemous AND bigoted.
