Dear John Hagee: Kiss my blasphemous, atheistic ass, and YOU GET OUT!

[MADem]

50. You do not HAVE to "own" everything that people say.

You also need to consider the context, the purpose, and the audience.

Context is everything.

If a minister is telling a dying person that they will find life everlasting in heaven, do you think it aids the conversation to tell the minister and the person that he is comforting that this line of thinking, in your opinion, is full of shit and you believe that those remarks are not true? Would that make you feel better, somehow?

OTOH, if someone is standing up in the House of Representatives proposing a law that would favor one religion over others or none at all, that might be a time to pipe up.

Hagee has a goal of being an asshole and rallying people who are crazy fundies on a mission of hate and discrimination. MLK never had such a mission. So now's the time to discriminate--Hagee: asshole. MLK: Not.
