VIDEO: MSNBC Compares Religious Americans With Islamic Terrorists
By Robert Gehl, January 8, 2015.
The nitwits at MSNBC are drawing a connection between religious Americans and the Islamic terrorists who slaughtered 12 people at a Paris newspaper.
The slaughter came because the terrorists said the satirical newspaper was “defaming” and “insulting” Islam, but televangelist Jerry Falwell sued Hustler in 1983 because the ad was offensive to Falwell – as a person.
But that doesn’t matter to “First Look Media’s” Eric Bates who said the connections were the same.
“This isn’t just Islamic extremism,” Bates said. “If you go back to the 80s during the Reagan administration, when Jerry Falwell sued Hustler magazine for portraying him having, I believe it was drunken incest with his mother in an outhouse, again in a visual form, and won $150,000 court case against Hustler for that that was overturned by the Supreme Court I think 8 to 0. So, you know, religious fundamentalists of all stripes and all nationalities have this penchant to say ‘we want to be able to tell you what you can portray.’”
The host of the show, Alex Wagner (who just married President Obama’s former personal chef) let that particularly stupid comment slide
