The Hidden (Acceptable) Bigotry
While I'm still boycotting posting blogs with html until TPM adds a better CMS and an edit option, there is a story that is getting a lot of interest on DailyKos, but doesn't appear to have made it on to TPM. The quick and dirty is that Illinois state Rep. Monique Davis lambasted an atheist during an committee hearing for no other reason than him holding different religious views. I for one was appalled by the blatant bigotry, as well as the degree to which bigotry and intolerance toward atheists is perfectly acceptable in this country, whereas if she had attacked any other religion, group or race in such a way she would have been out of a job in less than 24 hours. That is the subject of my blog, which you can read here, if interested.
