The bullshit "War on Christianity"

yeah, ok, i'm on the warpath with the wapo this morning... this front section, page a12, story doesn't deserve either printer's ink or bandwidth... the "war on christianity" is both bullshit and bogus and, were it not for the fact that bushco and its minions have so aligned themselves with extremist religious radicals, probably wouldn't even merit the wapo's attention... but the wapo knows who its daddy is and so feels compelled to lend legitimacy to this crap...

This week, radio commentator Rick Scarborough convened a two-day conference in Washington on the "War on Christians and the Values Voters in 2006." The opening session was devoted to "reports from the frontlines" on "persecution" of Christians in the United States and Canada, including an artist whose paintings were barred from a municipal art show in Deltona, Fla., because they contained religious themes.

at least the wapo had the presence of mind to use quotation marks and to include at least a couple voices of reason...

• "Certainly religious persecution existed in our history, but to claim that these examples amount to religious persecution disrespects the experiences of people who have been jailed and died because of their faith," said K. Hollyn Hollman, general counsel of the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty.

• "This is a skirmish over religious pluralism, and the inclination to see it as a war against Christianity strikes me as a spoiled-brat response by Christians who have always enjoyed the privileges of a majority position," said the Rev. Robert M. Franklin, a minister in the Church of God in Christ and professor of social ethics at Emory University.

and, no, the article doesn't bother to mention that tommy-boy delay was in attendance...
