Rev Pat Cartoons, James Wolcott, & Arab Slurs

James Wolcott Blog: "In the condemnation of Robertson's statement, the man behind the mouth was diminuitized as a sort of quaint old garden gnome whose name recognition was all out of proportion to his influence. The State Dept... described Pat modestly as a "private citizen." He's rather more than that. A former Repub presidential candidate and former head of the Christian Coalition... where he... helped forge the alliance between Christian conservatives and American Zionists." Exactly, but they can dismiss him now b/c they have so many other Neo-Con/ GOP whores lined up to turn their tricks. And has Rev Pat cooled the bigoted rhetoric since Mon's call for Chavez's death? Nope. On Tues he was blathering on about the speculation of biblical roots for Islamic terrorism: "The Bible talks about Ishmael as being 'a wild ass.' He's just uncontrollable, and it's almost like this seed of rebellion and uncontrolled anger has, you know, filtered into these people." Hmm, slavery was once backed up by the Bible, too. Will the 700 Club advocate enslaving the descendents of Ham, too? And please take a gander at this compilation of Rev Pat cartoons popping up in newspapers around the nation. Some are killer. I can't help but love laughing at a Talibornagain's expense.
