(Classy — Promoted by Colorado Pols)
On the national infotainment stage, Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson is standing by his comment that a Muslim should not be president.
And deep in the bottom-feeding waters of Colorado Springs talk radio, it gets worse.
Apparently inspired by Carson, KVOR radio host Richard Randall launched into a tirade against Muslims yesterday. He begged listeners to send him questions to read on air and join him in his bigotry, saying:
Randall: “It’s a sensitive topic. You can always do it anonymously. You’re afraid that some Muslim is gong to find you or your kids and do something evil to you. That’s not abstract. Feel free to call in anonymously. Or you can text it in.”
If you’re trying to explain the awfulness of Carson, listen to Randall. The two are directly connected, and we should all take a moment to call it out, as The Denver Post did today. Tell your kid about it. Tell someone you hate this and why, in the same way we would if Randall and Carson used “Christian” or “Jew” instead of “Muslim.”

This really is following the time-honored model of religious bigotry. The Spanish Inquisition would be comfortable with this, as would the Salem witch-burners, the Irish Troubles factions, and the Nazis leading up to WWII. We've got racial profiling, assumption of evil intent, equation of the religion with violence and evil, calls for pre-emptive jailing, deportation, and repression. All that's missing are required crescent moon-and-star ID badges.
I'm amazed that people who promote the Jewish and Christian ideologies can't see their own bigotry in action.
I always try to follow the money,so I can only explain the promotion of fashionable Muslim-hating as preparation for massive seizure of Muslim-owned oil or other resources, as American companies did when Bush 2 invaded Iraq. It's prepping American consciences for a ground war.
