As I’ve said, TDS has had some issues covering the Trayvon Martin case. But this bit was spot-on. Yeah, uh, the “victim theme/meme” tends to happen when an unarmed kid is shot in cold blood, and then police and the shooter lie about the circumstances, and the state refuses to arrest the shooter. -Jess

I have to say, as someone who is not a Christian, it’s hard for me to believe Christians are a persecuted people in America. God-willing, maybe one of you one day will even rise up and get to be president of this country—or maybe forty-four in a row. But that’s my point, is they’ve taken this idea of no establishment as persecution, because they feel entitled, not to equal status, but to greater status.

Jon sums up Fox News commentary about Occupy Wall Street protesters like this:
“This group is a laughable gang of disorganized, confused … Nazis. This is an ill-disciplined, highly-trained, weed-smoking, Fascist organization.”
And to Hannity’s comment to Ann Coulter about the Wall Street protesters: “And in the end, ultimately, they really want Statism over free market, so they really don’t like freedom,” Jon says:
“Oh… all right. So rage against duly elected government is patriotic, quintessentially American, whereas rage against multinational shareholder-accountable corporations is anti-American. Gotcha. Okay…”
