Unharmed?

Filed under: Posts — clgood @ 16:49

I’m glad the Fox News reporters were released. At least they’re alive. For now. Just wait until they try to check out of the Roach Motel of Religions.

Unharmed?

You idiot! You total blistering (sic) idiot! Being forced to convert is a harm. It might be the oldest harm short of death – being forced to renounce your faith and your god. Millions of people – literally millions – have died rather than deign to utter words that would force them to give up their faith. No wonder liberal journalists are utterly baffled by fully half of the United States – they don’t think having to give up your religion is harmful. We are beyond certain that if Muslim prisoners at Gitmo were forced to convert away from Islam as a condition of their release, the New York Times would not be putting the phrase “released unharmed” into their lede.

Let’s say you have no faith to deny, and that you’ll say anything to be released. I can buy that. But unharmed? I don’t think so.

NB: He probably meant “blithering”. But some malapropisms are an improvement.
