What if they sold "Pray for Palin: Psalm 137:8" merchandise?

[Swede]

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.

1. I have posted that in various places.

and the rethugs re-post without reading the passage.:eyes:

the funniest is posting "pray for Obama... psalm 3:6&7"
they then re-post that...

They really haven't a clue as to what is actually in the Bible.

2. Keep in mind that it is "prayer for Obama" not "pray for Obama"

They are aiming the bible passage right at him.

3. ALWAYS a good question: what if the shoe were on the other foot?

What if Iraqis were WHITE Protestants?

What if a foreign country told us what weapons we could/could not possess?

What if the U.S. were invaded and occupied?

4. Oh, no, actually. Apparently this is all faux outrage and it's just a single passage

being blown out of proportion. Not just the opinion of right wingers, but many DUers as well. I just read that in another thread. Oy vey.
