Radio host Jan Mickelson says that the Catholic nuns who have embarked on a nine-state bus tour to protest the injustice of Rep. Paul Ryan’s (R-WI) proposed budget deserve to be beaten with a handgun because they “threw the first punch.”
“There’s a bus full of nuns headed towards Washington to lobby against the Ryan plan,” Mickelson told Rep. Tom Latham (R-IA) last week. “Do you guys, do you have any power to pull the nuns on the bus over and pistol whip them?”
“They say he is evil, they say he is fake Catholic,” he added. “They’re the ones that threw the first punch.”
A Vatican report also recently criticized the nuns for focusing too much on the Catholic Church’s message about social and economic justice instead of spending time opposing abortion and marriage equality.
What kind of lousy person threatens violence against nuns?
How much do you have to hate democracy and the Constitution to try and prevent free speech and civil public discourse of ideas?
When you attack people out of fear that your personal ideals won’t be realized in society, you put yourself in the gutter with the likes of Stalin & Hitler.
We’re America. We’re better than that. You obviously are not, Mr. Mickelson. Feel free to exercise your right to leave the country. We’ll be better off without you.
