The Pharisee Letters: Extremist Alert

Speak up about EXTREMIST activity

Have you encountered an extremist web site, blog or platform and wish us to warn people about it? Have you found a link to the KKK death rally? Is Fred Phelps plotting another foolhardy protest in your area? Is a Christian home school mommy attempting to get someone fired for not being a "true bible believing born again Christian"? Do you know of a right wing politician advocating that all those with STDS be placed in concentration camps?

HERE is where YOU expose them!

1. LINK IT. If you know the link, please share it.

2. Describe what they are doing. (Please include dates, if this is a rally.)

This area is for reporting activity only. Opinions are perfectly acceptable as long as they are contained in the same post as 1 & 2 above.

Abridged Caveat

Please see The Pharisee Letters: CAVEAT for our full statement.

We have this nifty right in the United States: freedom of speech. It is not harassment, stalking or libelous to discuss a public figure, to state opinions concerning a public figure, or to report factual information concerning a public figure. Public figures are considered (but not limited to): politicians, talk show hosts, movie stars or recording stars.

Public figures choose to expose themselves (figuratively) to the public and hence must accept that they have given up their privacy as it pertains to their public life. Any and all personal issues that they choose to bring to the public's attention (think Spears and her shaved head) are thereby open to scrutiny.

If a talk show host can "rag" on the president of the United States, the world can "rag" on the talk show host. If someone is too thin skinned to understand this, they really shouldn't assume the role of a public figure.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

This blog does point out the counterproductive and often harmful nature of fundie thinking. That is this blog's theme.

Because this is an open forum, language must remain appropriate for all ages and comments are required to be civil. We encourage a variety of opinions, even those we strongly disagree with, but if posts are deemed to be too inflammatory they will be deleted. Posts and republished comments contained in public chat logs will remain as they were originally posted since they are offered in their entirety for discussion/opinion purposes here and are to the best of our knowledge, the actual words of the poster to which they are attributed.

Thanks for your cooperation
