Federer's Dishonest Framing

By Ed Brayton

ADVERTISEMENTS

No, not the frame on Roger Federer's tennis racket. I'm talking about this ridiculous commentary at the Worldnutdaily by William Federer, a man who rivals David Barton for mendacity and irrationality. Federer is a Christian Nation advocate who peddles the worst kind of tripe to his ignorant followers and here he's framing every single church/state controversy as one of Christians vs atheists.

Daily there are news reports of atheists offended by prayers at graduations and football games; offended by a Cross or Star of David; offended by Christmas carols or patriotic hymns; offended by Christmas trees and menorahs; offended by the Ten Commandments or "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance; offended a teacher might hint there may be a Creator; offended a soldier said "God bless you" at a funeral; offended the Boy Scout Oath says "Do my duty to God and my country"; or offended by a cross on a Veterans Memorial.
