BREAKING NEWS<\/strong> from the delusional world of Glenn Beck’s Acute Paranoia Revue:<\/p>\n

Beck:<\/strong> Have you heard this reported yet? Palm Sunday. Four people from an anti-Christian group attacked two pieces of religious artwork in France.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/center>
\n<\/p>\n

There may be a very good reason why you haven’t heard that reported yet. If you were to go to the Guardian web site<\/a> that Beck referenced you would find a story that says…<\/p>\n

“When New York artist Andres Serrano plunged a plastic crucifix into a glass of his own urine and photographed it in 1987 under the title Piss Christ, he said he was making a statement on the misuse of religion.<\/p>\n

Controversy has followed the work ever since, but reached an unprecedented peak on Palm Sunday when it was attacked with hammers and destroyed after an ‘anti-blasphemy’ campaign by French Catholic fundamentalists<\/strong> in the southern city of Avignon.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You see, it was not “an anti-Christian group”<\/em> that attacked the artwork, as Beck stated. It was a group of Catholic fundamentalists. So either Beck is lying or he never actually read the article. Furthermore, it is curious that Beck would condemn an attack on a piece of artwork that he surely regards as blasphemous. Is he defending “Piss Christ” as free expression? That would be an enlightened position for him to take and thus, unlikely. In any case, he still shouldn’t accuse anti-Christians of the vandalism when it was Christians who were responsible.<\/p>\n

I wonder if Beck would still condemn the vandalism if he knew it was Christians who committed it. I also wonder if Beck will correct this “mistake”<\/em> as he frequently brags that he will always put his corrections up front. We’ll see.<\/p>\n

Flashback:<\/strong> Beck’s last excursion into art criticism<\/a> was a hilariously demented tour of the art in Manhattan architecture that he said was loaded with subliminal socialist messages. He saw these messages everywhere and particularly in structures built by the notoriously communist Rockefeller family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
