Moonie Times "writer" says Hillary worships Baal

I wonder just who this "Baal" is, in the first place.

(Looks it up)

Rather nebulous "god."

Washington Times Pundit Suggests Hillary Clinton Is A Baal Worshiper

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Monday, 7/7/2014 11:35 am

Over the weekend, Washington Times columnist Robert Knight criticized Hillary Clinton’s response to the Supreme Court’s Hobby Lobby ruling by accusing her of wanting to instill in America a “quasi-religious culture of death” which “reflects the religious sensibilities of the priests of Baal and the rulers of Sodom and Gomorrah.” According to Knight’s unhinged column, Clinton is bent on “the destruction of marriage and the family” and, like President Obama, is a Marxist radical hoping to destroy America.

11. How fucking banal!

Is this really the best they can do? "Hillary is a Marxist radical". Shades of John Birch. The Moonie Times really is keeping pace with the geriatric base of today's Rethuglican party. Perhaps the next time they can call her a "Hussy" or a "Loose woman" or something equally contemporaneous.

12. Now I'm looking forward to her presidency.

14. Fred Clark points out he can't even get his biblical insults right

Baal? When you’re trying to paint your political opponents as evil baby-killers, it doesn’t work to accuse them of secretly believing in fertility gods. Molech is the Canaanite god you need to invoke here. When you’re accusing the baby-killers of killing babies to honor their false god of baby-killing, you should always use Molech. A veteran player like Knight really should know that by now.
...
To reinforce this accusation, Knight references two stories from the Bible: the story of the priests of Baal, and the story of Sodom and Gomorrah. Both of those stories contain the element Knight wants to introduce here: mass slaughter and a feast for proud death.

But, oddly, the people Knight tries to associate with Clinton are the victims of that mass-slaughter.
...
That suggests that your idea of “religious liberty” only applies to whatever sect you think of as the true religion. The followers of false gods, you’re saying, don’t deserve this freedom. They don’t have the same rights as the followers of the One True Religion. The only rights they have are the rights to be rounded up, dragged to the river, and killed.
