Brilliant counterpunch to the escalating teabagger violence and the psalm 109:8 outrage.
Cafe Press is hiding behind the correct observation that Psalm 109 verse 8 is relatively benign:
May his days be few; may another take his place of leadership.
But Psalm 109 verse 9 says
May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow.
Suppose someone created a t-shirt that said:
Pray for Sarah Palin: Psalm 137:8
Would Cafe Press (or anyone else) allow the sale of those products?
After all, according to the logic they used when they decided to sell the Obama merchandise, the actual verse cited on this hypothetical t-shirt falls under the umbrella of harsh but acceptable anti-candidate speech, since Psalm 137 verse 8 reads:
O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction,
happy is he who repays you for what you have done to us
However, Psalm 137 verse 9 reads:
he who seizes your infants/little ones
and dashes them against the rocks.
I predict that within a matter of hours this news would be ALL OVER the corporate owned media as an example of "attacking" Sarah Palin, and attacking her children, not because of the actual verse on the shirts/mugs/bumper stickers/baby bibs, but because of the clearly expressed threat in the verse that immediately follows.
I think the teabaggin' propaganda machine is about to spin out of control. They seem to think they can control the monster they've created, but
it's already starting to turn against them.
Well, okay. . . this last link is funny--but there's bound to be a serious shitstorm once all those pissed-off "patriots" wake up and are ready to rampage, right?
