Bill Donohue: the douche who keeps on douching December 18, 2007
Posted by Evil Bender in Religion, wingnuts.trackback
Yes, Bill Donohue is at it again, displaying his usual hypocrisy–you know, somewhere on the level of a pharisee in a Gospel story. This time Donohue, the man whose name is synonymous with forcing his religious views down other people’s throats, is upset because Huckabee talks about religion:
“Because there’s a pattern here,” [Donohue] added. “Every other word out of [Huckabee's] mouth is that ‘I’m Christian.’ He’s calling into question Romney’s Mormonism…let people talk about there faith, but don’t sell it on your sleeve.”
Added Donahue, “Yeah, I believe in freedom of speech and freedom of religion, but don’t become a salesman. Don’t hawk it like that on the street.”
The Catholic League president suggested that Huckabee was relying on his faith too heavily as a campaign tactic….
“You know what?” concluded Donahue. “Sell yourself on your issues, not on what your religion is.”
As Chet Scoville points out,
What this suggests, of course, is that what Donahue really is — what he has always been — is not a religious spokesman of any kind, but a partisan hack whose real function is to elect Republicans however he can.
Quite. Even so, it never stops amazing me how wingnuts can spew irony this thick without any shame. I know, I know. As cynical as I am, you’d think I’d get used to it. But I guess I’m still amazed at those who can seriously and publicly state things that identify them as hypocrites, partisan hacks, bigots and hate-filled asses. Then again, without such pronouncements, would the current incarnation of the Republican party even exist?
Oh… my… my head… I don’t think I could put it any better than you did in your title: What. A. Douche.
(Oh, and incidentally, it’s Chet Scoville, not Scott Cheville, though your version can be smushed together to form Scotchville, which I rather like.)
LQ–Thanks for catching that! Silly Bender shouldn’t post when he’s tired.
