| Bill Moyers continues his descent into raving incoherence |
| 2005-03-08 |
| An even longer version of his recent column in which he claims "fundamentalist" Christians don't give a rat's ass about the environment. The mere thought of a religious person must send him into convulsions. The contempt bleeds off the screen when you read his screed. Though there is something new in this piece: Here are some direct quotes: "Islam is an intolerant religion—and it's clear whose side we should be on in the Middle East." Applause greeted these words: "Allah and Jehovah are not the same God.... Islam is a Satanic religion.... They're going to attack Israel for certain...." Gary Frazier shouted at the top of his lungs: "Wake Up! Wake Up!" And roughly eight hundred heads (at $25.00 per) nodded approval as he added that the left-wing, anti-Israel media—"for example, CNN"—will never tell the world the truth about Islam. According to these three, and the millions of Americans they lead, Muslims intend ultimately "to impose their religion on us all." Um, Bill? Many of them do want to impse their religion on us all. Those are the fundamentalists you should be afraid of. He wrote this piece for his fellow choir members you read the NYReview of Books. If you enjoy handwringing and hatred, the article is worth a read. |

| #4 Is Moyers old enough that "untreated syphilis" is a possible diagnosis? Or the kind of carnivore that would contract Mad Cow Disease? |

| #3 Shipman : Moyers really needs to provide a specimen, and a blood sample first, so he can be advised of the best treatment for his condition. Then if the results come back as suspected, its time for, as it says on your link (I kid everyone not!) "Put the fresh brain 1 in the first ziploc bag." 1Cranial contents not pictured for the squeemish. Please see This with a cautionary warning... I always thought that by neutralizing misfiring brain cells that liberalism would be lessened. But his case calls out- no cries out for such a resolution... PS - Shipman: COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY? Heh heh heh |

| #2 So Moyers, like a lot of other leftists, gets the heebie jeebies when passing the local Baptist Church, but smiles indulgently when the local mosque is found to be passing around pamphlets titled "Your Neighbors: They're Infidels and Their Throats Should Be Slit". |
