This parody of Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained," that aired on the godless NBC lie-machine's Saturday Night Live, caused every undergarment over at Fox Nation to become bunched.
Todd Starnes' saw this as the official start of NBC's jihad on Christians:
Ah yes. It'd be hilarious if it were intended as parody and wasn't dragging our country farther down in to the shitter.
If one were to click through to the full article, which I didn't link to because fuck them, one could read Starnes' other evidence of his perceived war on Christians:
• "NBC Sports blogger Rick Chandler wrote a scathing smear against a prominent Christian church in Dallas.
The First Baptist Church in Dallas had invited Tim Tebow to speak at an upcoming service. Chandler urged the outspoken Christian football player to reconsider."
• "NBC removed the words “under God” from the Pledge of Allegiance during a produced video that aired during the U.S. Open."
• NBC medical editor Nancy Snyderman infamously denounced the religious part of Christmas during an episode of Today.
“I don’t like the religion part,” said Snyderman.“I think religion is what mucks the whole thing up.”
...and it goes on until it gets to Starnes' main point: NBC should be mocking Muslims like all good Christians do.
"Why aren’t the writers at SNL churning out weekly skits about Islam – or the Prophet Mohammed? Where’s the mock movie trailer for “Jihad Undetonated?” Where’s the television show called “Good Muslim B****es?” Or the magazine essay about “The Myths of Mohammed?”"
Lastly, the grand finale: a little dose patented GOP projection:
"As best as I can tell the folks over at NBC are either ideological bullies or religious bigots. Either one is enough for me to change the channel."

Starnes is such a wanker. Maybe there's some spoofing of Christianity in this country because it's the dominant religion here. And because comics know that people like Starnes will be getting on their high horse because of it. And, maybe, it's because Xtians like Starnes have felt free to call pro-choice people murderers and gay people terrorists, but will, inevitably, inexorably, come unglued when anyone doesn't pay the same faux respect to Christianity that he does.
What Starnes is really afraid of is that people won't take Jesus the Conservative Brand seriously. He's just doing marketing, and not doing very well at it, at that.

And yet Fox News and Christians can't understand why a Muslim would take offense when someone blasphemes Mohammed.
