"Only Christian Evangelicals have blue eyes."
Loony toon on C-Span this morning who called in to complain about C-Span discriminating against evangelicals because he never sees anyone with blue eyes on any show and "everybody knows" that blue-eyed people are evangelical Christians. :eyes:

1. Oh my! My husband family must be evangelical christians in this case. ...
That is certainly the best-kept secret in the world and will really surprise their rabbi.

18. You are presenting a logicall fallacy
All evangelical Christians have blue eyes, but not all people with blue eyes are evangelical Christians. Duh! :hi:

10. How do the hosts keep a straight face when someone like that calls?
I'm sorry, but that just deserves howls of laughter as the only sane response.

30. It's a shame they *DO* keep a straight face.
Edited on Mon Jul-23-07 10:35 AM by Tesha
If more morons were greeted with the sad truth that
they were morons, this country would be a much saner
place.

The current "reality":

Person 1: "The Earth is flat because my religion says so."

Person 2: "I value your opinion and actively support your
right to air it in any venue at any time."

What ought to be:

Person 1: "The Earth is flat because my religion says so."

Person 2: "Well then your religion has made you into a
fucking moron, and CSPAN, stop facilitating the expression
of this fucking moron!"

I've noticed a real tendency of "the media" to not be
willing to call Right wingers on anything they say, no
matter how obviously wrong it is. We will be on the road
back to sanity when this behavior stops.

11. I heard this guy this morning
He was absolutely indignant that no one on CSPAN had blue eyes. Absolute proof that evangelicals were discriminated against by this bunch of government pariahs.

29. It a regressive gene, so only 'pure blooded' (white) people can have them!
Although that's nonsense because lots of dark skinned people (Afghans for instance) and the like have blue eyes.

16. Anyone remember the story about the teacher who divided the
Edited on Mon Jul-23-07 08:06 AM by Cerridwen
students into blue and brown eyed groups and used that to teach the students how dangerous it is to discriminate based on arbitrarily assigned differences?

Now we're going to categorize people based on eye color? *sigh*

I swear to Dog! I've entered the Twilight Zone.

....how incredibly strange. I'm starting to get a sense of humor about C-Span callers, but I don't even know what to think of that one.

23. In all seriousness this is appalling
this statement shows the mental deficiency of these people. Who, in their right mind, believes such stuff. These type of statements from the religious fanatics out there show just what this country is up against. And by the way if you have to have blue eyes to be a Christian, what in the hell happened to bush, his are brown.

I think some have better success rate than that.

33. Everyone knows Jay-zuz himself was
blue-eyed, blond and spoke English. Their heads would explode if they ever realized that the historical Jesus probably looked more like Osama bin Laden than Brad Pitt.
