Because of course, radical Christianists NEVER resort to violence
A) Doctors who perform abortions
B) Bosnia
C) Matthew Sheppard's killers (what religion do you think they claimed to be?)
D) That dude in upstate New York who torched a church because he didn't feel it was teaching the right kind of Christianity
B, the reason liberal bloggers don't tend to go after Muslims is because, frankly, radical Islamism is not the issue in THIS country that radical Christianism is (NOT Christianity, so don't start yellin' at me, Timm. These are a very special breed of people who claim to be Christian). We just don't have that many Arab Muslims compared to say, Southeast Asian Muslims, and they're just different (I should know, my stepbrothers are both Muslim and were born in Cambodia- NOT the same kind of Islam). Big "C" conservative bloggers don't want to offend their base, so they ignore how destructive radical religion is, no matter what religion it is. Christianity is the majority faith in this nation, and we just have more radical Christianists than we do any other faith here.
(Europe, on the other hand, has a bigger population of radical Islamists, and should be very concerned.)
Small "c" conservative blogger John Cole followed the Marcotte/Donohue thing. I'll post the link to most of the pertinent stuff (I think you'll like it; he hates both of them) but I think the money quote about the whole matter was this:
<<Meanwhile, the disgusting Catholic ******* Bill Donohue still retains the wide support of these folks, apparently, because they have done nothing to beat him down. And that is how the game is played, these days, I guess. Bill Donohue, who is more disgusting and has a bigger audience than either of these two women, will face no scrutiny, will not be held to task for the disgusting and truly stupid things he says, because he is on the “right” side. I mean, after all, the man attended Just Us Sunday and worked to keep Schiavo on life support and hates gays and Jews and Democrats and Hollywood- this is our kind of guy!
Color me unimpressed.
Dear Republicans- it is ok to despise nuts like Donohue and nuts like Marcotte. I do it every day. There is no contradiction. In fact, the party will be better off if you would throw aside our nuts- but you won’t, if for no other reason that the Republican party is now so insane itself that it can not recognize that Donohue is, in fact, nuts.>>
Here's the links to his comments. I like the guy's posts- I don't agree with it all, but he's smart and funny and a Steelers fan, so s'all good. And he was smart enough to pair himself with a very liberal blogger so the site isn't all one-sided and they seem to be great friends.

And B, mad props for use of " doesn't quite have the labia." Virtual high-five to you!
