Another Double Standard

In Dearborn this past summer, a Catholic priest was arrested driving drunk and naked in the city.  His defense was he claimed he was "too hot".  And the judge keeps postponing the priests hearing.  See article--

Now, this just makes me think.  If it was a Muslim Imam who was driving around drunk and naked we would have had cult leader Terry Jones & his band of toadies here at the hearing for a media circus, Fox News would be here along with other rightwing media blasting the Imam and Islam about their immorality and "what are they trying to do to my children" blather.  It would be non-stop on the right about the horrors of the Imam and Islam.

But it is a white Catholic priest that basically has "vote for Romney/Ryan" signs in front of the church (you know the "Protect Religious Freedom" signs which really mean let us discriminate against women).  So, the only media coverage is the local newspaper.

I would suspect with all the coverage of Catholic priest pedophiles this would be another story to add onto that list.  But, it is election season and the rightwing is trying to court the Catholic vote, so it is a "non-story".

Yet, if it was an Imam, it would be on 24/7 on rightwing media because we all know how President Obama is a secret Kenyan Socialist Communist Muslim and he probably personally got the Imam into the country and bought him the alcohol while telling him in America, it is OK to drive around naked--we love it!  (at least that is how it would be presented in rightwing world).

So, anyone who tunes into rightwing media and believes it is just willingly believing a lie.  Here are some great Scripture verses on lies and liars--

Proverbs 19:9 -- A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who breathes out lies will perish.
Revelation 21:8-- But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”
John 8:44 -- You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies. 
Proverbs 14:5 -- A faithful witness does not lie, but a false witness breathes out lies. 
Proverbs 26:23-28 -- Like the glaze covering an earthen vessel are fervent lips with an evil heart. Whoever hates disguises himself with his lips and harbors deceit in his heart; when he speaks graciously, believe him not, for there are seven abominations in his heart; though his hatred be covered with deception, his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly. Whoever digs a pit will fall into it, and a stone will come back on him who starts it rolling. ...
Proverbs 13:5 -- The righteous hates falsehood, but the wicked brings shame and disgrace. 
Exodus 23:1 --  “You shall not spread a false report. You shall not join hands with a wicked man to be a malicious witness.

So, any rightwinger who claims they are a Christian may want to turn off their TV and radio and start repenting in the name of the Lord.  Better do it while you still can.
