Two wrongs don’t make a right, Andrew.
It is one thing to engage in free, if disrespectful, debate. It is another to repeatedly assault and ridicule and abuse something that is deeply sacred to a great many people. Calling the Holy Eucharist a “goddamned cracker” isn’t about free speech; it’s really about some baseline civility. Myers’ rant is the rant of an anti-Catholic bigot. And atheists and agnostics can be bigots too.
So, you’re saying that because PZ worded his criticism of Bill Donohue’s pea-soup spewage fit in a way that offends you, it’s okay for Donohue’s flying monkey brigade to send him death threats? That’s contemptible, and it’s the sort of thinking that fills graveyards.*
Perhaps, Andrew, it’s time you gave yourself a Michelle Malkin Award.
