When atheists attack
If Ann Coulter showed up at a book-signing drunk, and then proceeded to verbally assault a priest, talking heads at CNN and MSNBC would go on and on about the event for hours on end.
Why, then, have we heard not a peep about über-atheist Christopher Hitchen's drunken exploits in the mainstream media? *
"Eyewitnesses report that Hitchens erupted into a drunken rage at a recent promotional event for his book. Hitchens reportedly descended from the stage, visibly inebriated, approached a Roman Catholic priest in the audience, and began shouting at him, only inches from his face. Hitchens’ manner appeared so physically menacing, witnesses say, that a plainclothes bodyguard on duty at the event rushed in and escorted the drunken scribe from the room. All of this happened four and a half months ago, on May 1. It was never reported in the press. A conspiracy of silence shielded the bestselling author from the negative publicity his behavior seemingly should have earned him. Indeed, the world at large would know nothing of this incident, had Hitchens himself not chosen to mention it in the September 2007 issue of Vanity Fair."
* Because, Virginia, the mainstream media is biased against conservatives. Anyone with an IQ above 80 knows such (which explains why so many Democrats can't comprehend this fact).
