BETCHA DIDN'T REALIZE: CHRISTIANS ARE MUST LIKE THE IRANIAN MULLAHS!

From Huffpo, the blog that had a "reporter" at The One's last "press conference" who was answered before Obama was asked, comes yet another Christians-are-the-devil diatribe.

Reported by Frank J. Fleming:

Frank Schaeffer wrote a column for the Huffington Post entitled “The Real Lesson of Iran — Beware America’s Republican Mullahs.” Reading it and the comments to it, I came to a realization: people who think the religious right are just like Iranian mullahs are just like Iranian mullahs.

The article is pretty creepy. Schaeffer makes reference to “neocons” by the second sentence, which already raises flags, as it seems it’s getting hard these days for anyone to use that word and not be a crank. And the whole premise is quite disturbing. The author has seen all the horrors of people being brutalized and murdered over just wanting their voices heard, and he comes to the conclusion that his completely unrelated political opponents — Republicans — are very bad.

It takes a certain kind of sociopath to witness great tragedy and then turn back to his narrow political talking points completely unaffected. It’s pretty much the same as seeing someone brutally murdered in the street and saying, “This is why we need to change subsidies on corn farming.”

...then I read the comments to the article. There were people actually agreeing with this. People who somehow have the intelligence and motor skills to use a computer and write semi-coherent English sentences. They all seemed convinced that Christians were waiting outside their rooms to strangle them with rosaries, and the only thing protecting the country was their vigilance.

....

With this unquestioned certainty that people with different views than theirs are extremely evil and dangerous, what do you think they’d do to Christians and conservatives if they ever got into power? They were already plotting in the comments on how to eliminate and marginalize millions of Americans, and how do you think that would go? I’d say look to Iran and the violence and execution and oppression of anyone who dares go against them and then you’ll see exactly what we’d have if these people who think the religious right are just like Iranian mullahs ever seized control of the country.

And the left wonders how the hell anyone could ever think them Totalitarian-bent.

I wonder how the hell they can't see themselves.
