Lady Checkmate:
Double-standard OR support of bigotry against Christians?? Either way, it's blatant hypocrisy and hate.

"Normally you would think abc and the advertisers would fear the bad publicity."
Yes, unless their offense is against Christians. Remember they're a part of the group who believes:

The poor persecuted dear...
Hey Anon-e-moose, you mentioned something a couple months back about kiwis and farms...trying to get something started over there but no one's responding. You know someone there? Lady C would make an excellent subject.
There are well over 3000 comments on that show, mostly negative, it would appear. I'm amazed! I didn't know there were that many people whose TV doesn't have an "off" button. I can only assume most of them are institutionalized and cannot be trusted with the remote.
It only took me a few minutes to find the defining comment, sans punctuation and capitalization:
-----------------"your dumb and uneducated" (sic)
'Nuff said.
ABC News silent after more than 30,000 calls over 'View' star Joy Behar's 'anti-Christian bigotry
Double-standard OR support of bigotry against Christians??
Unless Sarah FAILin is prepared to openly state on Faux News that we Atheists are right: as we always have been, and that her - and your - 'God' doesn't exist, so ?
OFCOM is the reason why a Faux News UK doesn't exist. And why? Because if there was, and she were to appear on such in this country, then the broadcast laws here would legally force her to simultaneously say that her 'God' existed: and didn't . No 'Opinion': and no Bias allowed.
Checkmate, Lady.
That's probably why Rupert Murdoch will accept the bid by Comcast for Sky News. He's already had Disney take over 21st Century Fox: including Sky TV. He's no longer the heavy-hitter in world media he once was; all he has left is "The Sun": and that subsidises "The Times". The former is his nearest thing to the "Daily FAIL": a right-wing rag.
And when the pseudo-Daily FAIL, the "Daily Excess" has been bought out by the "Daily Mirror" a left -wing, Labour-supporting newspaper, then what's left for rightists such as you, Checkmated Lady: and didn't you once state that Faux News was liberal ...?!
Because when even Breitfart have chucked out it's founder Steve (A)Bandoned: and he has been by your 'Emprah', what's a poor little Alt-Shitist like you to do: but point out other peoples' supposed 'hypocrisy': when you're worse than them.
ABC is silent because they don't want to acknowledge the religious crazies like you you blow everything outta proportion.
Also; People wouldn't be raggin' on Christianity if the folks involved actually bothered to be Christlike.
Finally....

Oh just shut up. Until people start calling for those who spout anti-atheist sentiment to be fired, just deal with it. It's not persecution to mock other people's beliefs, it's free speech.
But she's absolutely right, I don't want a vice-president who's rolling around on the floor speaking in tongues and hearing Jesus talk to him, either.

"I would say both are Hate crimes myself."
If I put your Koran or Bible in a toilet, it's a hate crime. If I put my copy in the toilet, that's not a crime of any sort.

That's actually just a form of values dissonance and changing linguistic norms. I recall on MASH Colonel Potter was talking about his wife and said "I wish mother was here, she loves to cry." And I know in old movies from further back, and TV shows too, fathers called their wives Mother, and occasionally the wives called their husbands Father. It was just a common turn of phrase, that hasn't really died. My own parents do occasionally call each other by variations of that, usually to add extra soft intimacy, though usually less formally. This may be a case where slightly overdone mockery is falling into the TJ Dettweiler trap. It's only dirty if you have a dirty mind. And don't have historical context. And yes, fellow leftists, we can be wrong, jokes can be dumb, and history of linguistics and pop culture exist.
@creativerealms
The cartoons not funny but it does point out a reality. We can attack Christianity with a reasonable expectations they won't violently object. And that's a good thing because Western Culture fought hard for that freedom and Christian Denominations, especially in America need to be reminded THEIR NEVER GOING TO RULE AGAIN.
And since the threat of a takeover is only from some Christian denominations we need to lay down some limit to their shit.
#1 : We are not servants to your church, you are not the law
#2 : We will make fun of your stupid religion as we please
#3 : If Islam start doing your shit they get the same treatment, only then will they be the same threat (And No, Christianity ISN'T the only defense against it, it's THE SAME THREAT)
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
