A little historical revisionism

[podfish]

We may have lots of waccos here, but I'm glad there's not a lot of this kind:

Obama gently pointed out that Muslims didn't have a monopoly on aggression, referencing the Crusades among other things. (https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/religion/was-obama-right-about-the-crusades-and-islamic-extremism-analysis/2015/02/06/3670628a-ae46-11e4-8876-460b1144cbc1_story.html) The response???

'The Catholic League’s Bill Donohue said: “Obama’s ignorance is astounding and his comparison is pernicious. The Crusades were a defensive Christian reaction against Muslim madmen of the Middle Ages.”'

Wow. I mean, wow.

Bill Donahue was already a well known and confirmed nut-job. But this promotes him to a new high ranking, that rivals or even surpasses the spectacularly delusional diatribe of Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Alex Jones, Rush Limbaugh all wrapped up into one colossal poop of ignorant, psychotic, right-wing extremism and religious fanaticism.
