Double standard?
Hmmmmm. Matt Margolis thinks it’s very intolerant when Al Sharpton contrasts Mormons with “those who really believe in God.” However, it seems to be perfectly in order when commenters on his other blog claim, over and over again, that Muslims don’t worship God.

It’s humorous how ‘gopbloggers’ has under his title, ‘blogging for the majority’ with ‘we’ll be back’, added in small letters.
Blogs will be obsolete by the time he will be able to remove those last 3 words.

There’s no real reason for both GOP Bloggers and Blogs for Bush to exist. Both of them are just iterations of the Matt ‘N’ Mark Wingnut Show. Blogs for Bush has a couple of secondary contributors, who actually contribute content on a regular basis (although that guy Leo doesn’t seem to do anything but call Rep. John Murtha a “traitor” over and over again), and B4B is clearly their primary outlet.
Mark Noonan also keeps a blog of his own, Battle Born Politics, which is otiose (unless you happen to be interested in reading about local Nevada politics once every other month). Matt and Mark are some busy beavers, that’s for sure.
“They’ll be back” — yeah, whatever you say, guys. Eight years of GOP misrule and malfeasance are going to keep their “majority” languishing in obscurity for some time to come.
It’s funny, too, how they always claim to be in the “majority,” but at the same time, they spend hours every day crying about how they’re being victimized by the liberal media, the liberal elite, the liberal anti-religious cultural leaders, the liberal P.C. Thought Police, etc, etc. For a “majority,” they sure do spend a lot of time being victimized.

Reminds me of the South Park episode where Cartman challenges Kyle to a fight. Kyle lightly punches him on the arm, and he makes a X-O face, then runs home crying.
Of course there is no liberal media in America. The media are largely controlled by massive corporations who don’t give a shit what they churn out as long as it sells. It’s really more glorified entertainment than anything else these days.
Oh and WRT ‘PC Thought Police’: their frequent invocation of George Orwell—I knew one wingnut who suggested that the Philadelphia smoking ban “out-Orwells Orwell”—is incredibly ironic, given that Orwell was a Socialist who was strongly in favor of something like the EU. (Though I’m sure he would disagree sharply with some details of the modern implementation.)

I went through your last Google link there and saw a post that points out that the god of Islam was selected from a triad of deities—therefore making him pagan.
I wonder if they know the god of Abraham was selected in a similar fashion…

Even Wingnut Nation’s favorite Middle-East scholar, Daniel Pipes, admits that Allah == God. The “Pagan Moon-God Allah” business is deeply silly, just complete Quatsch.
And invocations of Orwell have become close to meaningless these days. It’s real easy to cherry-pick quotes from his voluminous corpus of essays and journalism to make it sound like Orwell would have been on board with just about anything you happen to be in favor of.
