It's a religious blogging site that publishes all kinds of content, with minimal editorial oversight, and is a predictably mixed bag. But yes, that particular article is, as you say, some of the stupidest shit I've ever read. If I were trying to write a parody of a smug, condescending liberal twat, I couldn't do nearly this well: "Apparently Johnson is unaware that Bernie Sanders was marching with Martin Luther King Jr. before she was even born." "Given her demeanor, it should not be surprising that Johnson is yet another unapologetic and obnoxious Christian." "Forget about white privilege, what about Christian privilege? "Of course there is always something particularly depressing and disturbing about any African American clinging to Christianity ..." Is this "Michael Stone" guy for real? Part of me - probably the part that's too generous - hopes he's actually the creation of a more talented satirist than myself. -- "Hige sceal þe heardra, heorte þe cenre, mod sceal þe mare, þe ure mægen lytlað." _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
