…for nothin’ left to lose?
I’m back in West Virginia…the big news here is that Clear Channel is holding one of their “Rallies for America” this weekend in the local college football stadium…40,000 people are expected to visit for the occasion. Flags and themed billboards have sprouted up around town…one that particularly caught my eye shows a scowling minister, bible in hand, under the words “Prophecy and the Jew.” I’m taking the first bus outta town tomorrow morning.
My sister says I’m reading too much into it…it’s just one billboard, after all. Plenty of ‘em say nice things like “Freedom is More Than Just a Word” and don’t mention Jews at all. I wonder if the Rallies folks have got some extra-long, vertically-hung versions of our national flag? Nothin’ says “fascists on parade” like one a’ those.
