Limbaugh's brother is cashing in on right wing stupidity

[kcwayne]

The introduction to David Limbaugh's book Persecution says:

"This book chronicles discrimination against Christians in American society. While tolerance is touted as the highest virtue in our popular culture, Christians are often subjected to scorn and ridicule and denied their religious freedoms."

Oh, really? Is there an equivalent to Fox that bashes Christians 7x24 with millions in ad revenue? How about an equivalent to Reich Radio that spreads hated and lies about Christians....

And what do these loud mouth pieces with control of the media that are ridiculing and denying liberals freedom profess to be? Christians. Isn't this an awful lot like the Nazi party's diatribes against Jews? Is it coincidental or planned?

In typical Reich wing fashion, he makes the claim that in 1776, 98.7% of people in America professed to be Christians.

Who took polls back then? Of course, he is ignoring the founding fathers, most of whom were deists, not Christians, the native Americans, and the slaves that had not yet been Christianized by their Christian owners.

Spare me.

1. I saw this piece of.................

crap book in a Barnes and Noble last week. I promptly tore each and every dust jacket on each one. I know it's wrong, but it's my little way of fighting back. Again, these assholes claim the moral high ground when, in reality, they're so far removed from true Christianity that it's become laughable. Laughable at least to anyone with an IQ greater than that of gravel.

2. 98.7% Really good polling data back then

Minus the 200 million natives, of course. Only 1.3% or so. Eesh.

7. Good Catch Will!

The techniques for using random sampling to infer the opinion of the whole population weren't even developed until LaPlace did it for Napolean, about 20 years later. In addition, the use of stratified random sampling wasn't developed until nearly 100 years after that.

So, the only way someone could have done a poll is to have asked EVERYONE in the country what they thought. Somehow i don't think that happened.

3. Wiccans should come up with their own book.

That would be an eye-opener.-

4. oh boy

Let's not forget those "Christian" institutions of slavery (whose apologists gave arguements ranging from "it's good for them" to "fuck off, I'll do what I want") and purposely infecting Natives with disease to decimate their population (prior to the colonists' arrival, Indian tribes wars usually involved just enough fighting to make a point. The colonists brought them the idea of genocide). If ol' David wants to hang with that crowd, more power to him, it just shows what a hypocrite he really is.

Yeah, 98.7%...sheesh.

**Christians, don't get your knickers in a bunch, I'm just pointing out that back then, these things were done in the name of Christianity.

5. wow they must have had great polls

8. The book is another Regnery screed

No doubt it will zoom up the "best seller" lists, courtesy of bulk buys by Scaife-oid organizations. Gak.

11. Oh Please

This "Christians are persecuted in the USA" thing is getting really old. What a bunch of hooey. Its almost a requirement to profess deep religous faith to become a politiican in this country. The fundamentalists get thier views aired disproportionaly to their numbers. Try being a non-Christian in this country. Try being an atheist.
