Mr. Reliable - steve-b at it again.

[SamuraiScot]

A majority of Republicans today actually believe the president was born in Kenya.

I don't know if that's true. But what I know is true is that a majority of Americans believe his head is up his @$$.

[goodnesswins]

Idiots abound....especially among libs

[GeronL]

The left takes themselves so seriously they ridicule themselves writing crap like that.

[KarlInOhio]

Over the decades, a nebulous root-system of direct-mail lists fed the paranoia of the stupid and informed the world of AM talk radio. Toxic to democracy, this monster has flourished in the age of the Internet and media consolidation.

If you hum The Internationale loud enough those mean old Tea Partiers and other assorted "crazies" won't be able to take over your brain like they've done to half the country.

There is also a problem with losing some of the old stories while trying to yuppify the language. The authors of the KJ had the decency when they did not comprehend the context of old stories, to leave the language as they found it and assume that somebody 400 years later might figure it out.

So THAT'S why I think as I do.

S’all good, he got spanked in the comments. LOL

[DJ MacWoW]

This must be the loon that writes for HuffPo. Not only are his knickers in a knot, his tail appears to be twisted too. What a bunch of hysterical drivel. Sounds like Dowd after she looks in the mirror.

[Anti-Utopian]

Believe sinful human behavior magically changes the weather, and believe ruining advanced civilization plus killing billions of humans to "control population" is a great idea to fix a problem only they see.

I don't know anything about lizard-people, but I know who the dangerous wack-jobs are.

How can you be "stupid" and "informed?"

I just visited Conservapedia.com, and didn't see anything about the "Bible re-writing project." Most conservatives are happy to keep sound translations. For Catholics, that often means the Douay-Rheims, for many Protestants, that means the original King James (provided you have a proper understanding of Elizabthan English).

Phyllis Schlafly is Catholic, and she would know you can't just go around translating Bibles without a higher authority than yourself, or your scribes approving it.

The only thing I can think of, is that it is almost mocking the liberal interpreters, who are happy to jettison and change texts in their quest for the "Historic Jesus," who is watered down, wispy, and not God Himself in any serious way. I hope that's the case.

[xjcsa]

I just read the AP story about Conservapedia.com, the Bible rewriting project proposing to erase the effects of "liberal academics" who have "watered down" Jesus by studying the ancient languages of the Bible

Conservapedia is a conservative version of Wikipedia, not a Bible rewriting project.

They do -have- a Bible translation project in progress, but I wouldn't expect a journalist to understand the distinction.

[SoDak]

Osborne is a complete hair-on-fire nutcase left-winger, and I’m more than a bit surprised I have to run into this sort of compost on FR.

[Alex Murphy]

The group's founder, Andy Schlafly, is the son of Phyllis Schlafly. The apple has not fallen far from the tree. These are the same John Birchers and reactionary right-wingers of yore. Conservapedia is just a new offshoot of that poisonous tree, and Schlafly is the fruit of fringe insanity. The poor kid was raised to believe this gorp.

Ping for later

[the long march]

You post a ridiculous letter to the editor from a self avowed liberal. What is your purpose other than just being stupid?

[Tublecane]

“The poor kid was raised to believe this gorp.”

What the hell is “gorp”?

[arthurus]

the president was born in Kenya. How do you think that happened?

Apparently the author was not the beneficiary of SexEd in school and didn't take a biology class. His parents probably explained his birth as a benefit from the government- he came with the tax refund.

[mjp]

But what I want to know is, given their long record of tinfoil-hat bizzarro fearmongering, how do these wackaloons and hoopleheads still merit the fair-handed attention of "liberal" media?

the above is a good example of what anti-reason, emotionalistic irrationality sounds like
