I'll admit it: I enjoy dropping by Breitbart occasionally, seeking perhaps the same vaguely disturbing titillation that bewigged and powdered grandees of the 1600s found in public tours of the Bethlem Royal Hospital. Like a train wreck, it's just so darn hard to look away from the horror, even when you know you really should for the sake of your own sanity.
Close followers of the Duck Dynasty Debacle may know that tonsorially-challenged Phil Robertson had a wee(wee) tantrum the other day, which witnessed this media figure railing against the media for railing against his railing against The Gayz in the media (a parsing diagram of the preceding clause is available for the low, low price of just $1.99 on my profile page). Naturally enough, Breitbart's ironically named Christian Toto jumped eagerly into the fray to cover this stop-the-presses story...because this is just the kind of raw meat teabaggage that drives them pageviewz, dontcha know. And drive it did, racking up over 1,000 unhinged comments (AKA 'spittle flecks') in less than 24 hours. Most were, of course, the usual pedestrian tripe...'the gays are going to Hell,''GOD BLESS good ole Phil, a True Christian Warrior,''something-something-something-Gay Mafia-something,''Benghazibenghazibenghazi!!!!,' and the like. But the article drew an unusually large number of progressive trolls, as well (if one can call speaking truth to lunacy 'trolling'...I lack a better term), including myself. In a moment of unusual (for me) clarity I managed to post one of the more lucid and, I think, unanswerable responses I've ever managed to offer against the despised 'because God said so!' defense of religiously sanctioned bigotry. Join me below the fold, and let us pray.
