The Rude Pundit - In Brief: Conservative Columnist Cal Thomas Says the Terrorists Are Right
That headline is not hyperbole. Entirely straight right-wing nutzoid Cal Thomas, who is entirely straight despite always looking like he's contemplating balls dangling in front of his face, said so in his latest "column" (if by "column," you mean, "the incoherent yawps of a man so sexually repressed that he'd make John Calvin say, 'Dude, you need to get laid'"). The entirely straight Thomas writes, regarding the Proposition 8 decision in California, "A nation that loses its moral sense is a nation without any sense at all. Muslim fanatics who wish to destroy us are correct in their diagnosis of our moral rot: loss of a fear of God, immodesty, especially among women, materialism and much more."

You got that? The Muslim terrorists are right. Even though he follows it up with "their solution -- Sharia law -- is wrong," he adds, "they are not wrong about what ails us."

Can you imagine what would happen if a liberal columnist or, say, a Bill Ayers said something like that? Glenn Beck's head would explode into thousand spiky-haired shards. Liz Cheney and Bill Kristol would be madly balling each other on the set of Hannity in crazed jubilation over having someone else to attack. Any association that the writer or speaker had with anyone in the Obama administration would immediately be exploited to show that the President sides with Al-Qaeda and Robert Gibbs would apologize for it. But it's not a liberal. It's entirely straight Cal Thomas, batshit insane conservative and thus his support of the terrorists' position is not important.

And the entirely straight Thomas doesn't even condemn the tactics of "Muslim fanatics." No, just that they prefer nutzoid Islam to nutzoid Christianity. Thomas says of the post-1950s "destruction" of America through "tolerance," "None of this should surprise anyone who takes the time to read and understand what happens to people and nations that disregard God." See? Entirely straight Cal Thomas is very different from Muslim extremists because...ummm...

2. Thomas and the conservatives hate America as much as any terrorist.
It is chilling to watch the increasing degree to which conservative Christians (the American Taliban) make common cause with fundamentalist Muslim terrorists. Both groups support un-American, un-Christian, inhuman policies that will tear our country apart.

Where's that "War on Terror" when we need it? I'd be willing to skip the "War on Christmas" this year if we could go after the conservative traitors in our midst.

3. Yeah, he says Sharia law is wrong -- he wants Christsharia law instead.
He campaigns for his own brand of repression.

4. personally my heart is warmed by this rabid Islamophobe finding any common ground
with Muslims...even if it is with fundamentalist extremist whack-job Muslims. That's sort of fitting, considering this jackhole's positions with regard to "morality".

I listen to news radio in the morning, and several times a week they have this dipshit on so as to have "commentary from both sides" or whatever...all he does is rant and make offensive, bigoted pronouncements. Sometimes I yell at the radio so as not to have to hear his voice.

7. Someone on the left doesn't even have to say "The terrorists have a point"...
Remember when Bill Maher basically said that suicide bombers are wrong and horrible, but it would be a mistake to call them "cowards"?

He lost his show over that comment.
