What To Do... (as Both a Pagan and a Daily Show Fangirl)

I recently saw this group and I'm not sure how to feel.

I'm kinda annoyed by someone's comment:


"Many people are disappointed by David Barton's appearance on the Daily Show, as his stance on minority religions (that they shouldn't have constitutional rights) was completely glossed over. If you would like to see an intelligent journalist who stands for minority religions speak up for us on the Daily Show, go to this page and click "Like". Let's make it happen."


These are people I kinda get the feeling don't have any idea what The Daily Show is about (nor have actually watched it).

And I'm not one hundred percent (especially in the wake of Christine O'Donnell) sure I want my faith discussed on a comedy show, even a brilliant, extremely well-done show that is one of my favorite shows of all time.

Also, Jon had an accredited constitutional scholar on to pretty much dismiss Barton's claims. Why exactly do we need a parade of intellectuals on to highlight what we all already know? Barton is a fucking nutjob fringe moron.

Lastly, I'm not entirely sure how good a representation Jason Pitzl-Waters is, although not dressing ridiculously is a plus. He gives an interview here.

See what you think.
