Classic Cowardly Caplis

[Nate505]

It was so nice to hear Caplis go into arrogance mode and dismissing his guest when he didn't get his way with the caller, and then rants and raves about how (in his view, which he always gets that quick qualifier in) the caller is anti-Christian and sad and blah blah blah.

One of the more interesting things was that while this is supposed to be the Caplis AND Silverman show (you know, the idea that it's both of their show), Caplis went on and on about how it was HIS rule that if a caller interrupts him that he politely lets him go. Silverman correctly points out that while it may have been his rule for 19 years or whatever that it wasn't correct, and they actually have a hold button. Yet when it comes to a rule that his co-host doesn't agree with, the Caplis rule will win out because in reality it Silverman isn't the co-host. It's Caplis' way or the highway. How an arrogant blowhard like him got so much clout is one of the great mysteries of our time.

Kaplis just said christians did not kill 100's of 1000's of pagans.....What about the native americans? What about the spanish who conquered in south america?

I thought that would have been a better example for the guest to use than the swastika on the synagouge. That example is just meant to be infammatory.

Or even better, how would Caplis feel if someoene went to a Catholic church and slapped a Pentagram in the chapel?

We could build a veritable board game around "what if's" applied to Caplis' rigorous standards, couldn't we?

Like, given Dan's penchant for "children first" in all things...what if fighting terrorism meant using rocket drones that killed women and children? Oh...wait...we need to pick scenarios that probably wouldn't happen.

OK, what if Craig called someone "retarded" on the radio show? Would Dan demand that he be fired? (Or since Danny clearly is da Man on this show, would he fire Craig?)

Or, what if that crazy Tiller-killer admitted he was influenced to murder by conservative radio harangues, such as the words of Dobson and other Focus-on-the-Family groups? Would Caplis then admit that these leaders of the religious right were culpable in the murder of this man, shot through the eye in church and in front of his family?

Oh, we could go on an on.

Well, is it a hate crime. No it is not but was it wrong well I believe it was. I would label this as harassment. No body knows what a persons is thinking when ever they do anything. Motives can only be guessed at even if a person tells you, you can never know for sure. Hate crimes are based on a persons thoughts and motives and there is no way to ever know for sure. But I think this cross was put up to harass these pagans. It would be just as wrong if a pagan put a pentagram in a Christian worship place people need to live and let live. I spend 5 years in a theological school so I have strong views of the christian faith and I do not think that who ever did this was acting in a manner following the biblical standards. Historic to note many of the witches burnt and killed were in fact Christians them selves just did not follow thwe rules of the state churches. Many were Anna-Baptist and other non main stream Christian sects.

Gads--I guess caplis is your doorway to the usual progressive orgy of condemning everything about the evil euro christians--again. It never fails, just as the usual accompanyment of ignorance never fails.
Now then--shall we once again tie in the historical context that is always such a drag on those that just want to vent ad nauseum about this, your favored subject?

Lets just give you the 25 or 26 million native americans that died as a result of the euro discovery of the new world, both by disease and violence. That does sound like a number that could never be mitigated by any means whatsoever. Even say--the associated tens of millions that christians have saved via food, sanitary and medical programs in the intermediate times--then to now.

Next step--the 150 - 200 million people, of all types and temperment, that the radical socialist (world, national and fascist) governments killed in just the past 80 odd years. That too represents another number that seemingly could never be mitigated by anyone's efforts. Another shining example of socialistic compassion--cuba sent 30 doctors to help in the haiti earthquake, venezuela--one airplane of aid supplies. And all of those pesky, uncaring christian organizations...

Then--theres the meso americans themselves. Eyewitness accounts of the times describe a civilization totally focused on assembly line human sacrifice, using shifts of priests to keep the supply of fresh beating hearts uninterrupted for weeks on end. Can anyone guess the hundreds of thousands if not millions of sacrificial victims that would be needed to keep such religous fervor sated? How many other meso american civilizations were extinguished in the process, what level of genocide it represented that would have put similar euro christian efforts to shame? Oh, and bye the bye--those eye witness accounts have been proven out by archeological evidence within the past 4 or 5 years.

Congratulations on your use of whitespace, Antonio, but could you try to be more coherent? It sounds like you're saying that the native americans and their priests deserved to be wiped out, but even you wouldn't go that far.

Maybe shorter sentences would help you form your thoughts? just sayin.

This coming from the same fool who celebrates abortion and thinks Dr. Tiller was a selfless hero....not a cold, money-sucking ATM....
