Dear "thoughts and prayers" people: Please shut up and slink away. You are the problem, and everyone knows it.

      There is a prevalent strain of anti-religious bigotry in the news media. So shameful. @geneweingarten http://goo.gl/HqLpif  #TTT16

      @BrentBozell Hey, Brent. I shd have been clearer, but I was talking in context about pols who issue platitudes, do nothing. Not anti-prayer.

      .@BrentBozell C'mon, Brent. You see the distinction, no? I am not anti-prayer. I don't disrespect faith.

      @geneweingarten @BrentBozell One man's faith is another man's "look at that stupid shit he thinks is real". Have faith in your family &self

      @andyaloser @BrentBozell In some ways I envy those with faith. I do not disrespect them. I am being wildly misinterpreted.

      @geneweingarten @BrentBozell I don't openly disrespect them any more than I disrespect a child for believing in Santa.

      @andyaloser @BrentBozell Too patronizing, IMO. Religion is more complicated than that, more nuance than just a belief in a deity.

      @lakecountydem I agree, but that's not what I was doing. In original context, I was criticizing pols for platitudes, not action.

      @lakecountydem (cont) That was ALL I said, yet hundreds of rabid righties reacted as though I denied it was Islamic terrorism.

      @BigRMV Nah. I'm telling politicians not to be hypocrites. We don't need their thoughts and prayers. We need their votes on sane gun laws.

      @geneweingarten @BigRMV What do you define as a sane gun law?

    9. Gene Weingarten ‏@geneweingarten Dec 3

      @RandyinOregon @BigRMV Something that will gradually reduce the number of guns in this country. We are a nation of gun nuts.
