But What’s My Point II?
For those who were wondering what my point was in my previous post, it was that the liberally-extreme Associated Press and the liberally-extreme Boston Globe had no interest in letting their readers know that Rep. Massa is a Democrat.
Another funny thing about the Massa story is the hypocrisy of House Democrats. Recall their uproar over Rep. Foley texting inappropriate messages? Recall their unhinged behavior in wanting to know when Republican House leadership first learned of Rep. Foley’s texting and what that leadership did with the knowledge. Well, now, we have a Representative who physically violated people and we think Democratic House leadership may have learned of Massa’s conduct some time ago and chose to do nothing about it. We really don’t know much about what Democratic House leadership knew and what they did to protect potential victims because House Democrats are currently blocking an investigation into their possible aiding and abetting.
To the point of today’s post; this is one of the editorials the Boston Globe chose to run today; again, I’m not kidding:
Glenn Beck: Foolishness on faith
March 13, 2010
Fox News performer Glenn Beck set some kind of record for combining ignorance and chutzpah when he told viewers to run away from any church where the terms “social justice’’ or “economic justice’’ are spoken. These are “code words,’’ Beck warned. He then held up a Nazi swastika and the Communist hammer and sickle, saying both represent the banner of social justice.
Christian clerics, both conservative and liberal, were commendably quick to remind Beck of the Sermon on the Mount. Members of Beck’s own Mormon faith objected that he was scorning their belief that care for the poor is a divine commandment. Indeed, an injunction to seek social justice is common to nearly all sects. And Beck was no less confused about the Nazis’ disdain for social justice and Bolshevik cynicism about the same. Beck’s fatwa on the politics of faith makes it plain he is someone who literally does not know what he is talking about. (End of editorial by the Boston Globe.)

While I get the explanation of your point about your prior post, I don't get your point vis-a-vis the editorial re Glenn Beck's comments.
Anonymous, the last sentence.
