Spot the Hater!

Inspired by Monty Python and Ed Morrissey (CONTENT WARNING), I am starting a fun new game series, Spot the Hater!

O. K. kids, time to play!

Your choices are:

1. Michael Weinstein, a consultant to the Pentagon to develop new policies on religious tolerance or

2. Eeeeevil Christian FUNDAMENTALISTS!

Can you . . . Spot the Hater!

tick, tick, tick

DING

Time’s up!

Oh, I forget to tell you.  Michael Weinstein said this:

Today, we face incredibly well-funded gangs of fundamentalist Christian monsters who terrorize their fellow Americans by forcing their weaponized and twisted version of Christianity upon their helpless subordinates in our nation’s armed forces. Oh my, my, my, how “Papa’s got a brand new bag.”

What’s Papa’s new tactic? You’re gonna just love this! These days, when ANYone attempts to bravely stand up against virulent religious oppression, these monstrosities cry out alligator tears in overflowing torrents and scream that it is, in fact, THEY who are the dispossessed, bereft and oppressed. C’mon, really, you pitiable unconstitutional carpetbaggers? It would be like the utter folly of 1960’s-era southern bigots howling like stuck pigs in protest that Rosa Parks’ civil rights activism is “abusing” them by destroying and disenfranchising their rights to sit in the front seat of buses in Montgomery, Alabama. Please, I beseech you! Let us call these ignoble actions what they are: the senseless and cowardly squallings of human monsters.

Queasy with the bright and promising lights of the cultural realities of the present day, those evil, fundamentalist Christian creatures and their spiritual heirs have taken refuge behind flimsy, well-worn, gauze-like euphemistic facades such as “family values” and “religious liberty.” These bandits coagulate their stenchful substances in organizations such as the American Family Association (AFA), the ultra-fundamentalist Family Research Council (FRC), and the Chaplains Alliance for Religious Liberty (CARL). The basis of their ruinous unity is the bane of human existence and progress: horrific hatred and blinding bigotry. However, when the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and others correctly characterize them as “hate groups,” they all too predictably raise a deafening hue and disingenuously bellow mournfully like the world class cowards they are.

More on the lovely Mr. Weinstein here.

And, yes, all know that those nasty Christian Fundamentalist MONSTERS are the haters!

And if you answered incorrectly, you are a hater, too!  And the Southern Poverty Law Center has already taken note of you!

Thanks for playing . . . Spot the Hater!
