Exercises in Hypocrisy (updated)
This one is a real workout, so make sure you're stretched and hydrated.
Wes Comer gives "Evangelicals for Mitt" the third degree about supporting a Mormon for national executive office (uh, that's of the country, not of some church, where it might matter a smidgen).
He lambastes their candidate, their candidate's chosen faith, and even their blog, sneering at the latter because it doesn't allow comments.
Then, in a genius comic stroke that still has me breathless, he says:
It would seem that the author at Evangelicals for Mitt thinks that being faithful to your religion should be counted as righteousness. What if we had a faithful Muslim running? Sure he’s more faithful than some Christians — just too bad that he might blow us all up.
The coup de grâce? Comments are closed on the post. UPDATE: Wes explains that he didn't mean to do that. Duly acknowledged; but two things that my readers should know are 1) I am not a Mitt Romney supporter and 2) the comments thing was a minor, rather funny, point; the remark that a devout Muslim candidate "might blow us all up" isn't funny at all, not even if it was meant as a joke (which it doesn't seem to have been).
