I am sorry the gunman did not write a 1500 page manifesto on the New York times. Additionally that manifesto has a giant templar cross on the cover and makes numerous references to crusading.
I see the only thing you managed to mention about the message was that the man didn't do any of the things she suggested. Damn those Christians and all the things they do wrong.
I do not think anything talking about a man who kills 90 people can be called humorous. I refuse to read it because I consider it insulting to my home country and my family.
you will never know whether the piece was humorous or not since you refuse to even look at it. Maybe you missed the part of my OP that quoted and the fact that it was Christians that the Times took to the wood shed.
I am sorry that I hurt your feelings but I didn't now any Norwegians were here.

Y'all persecution complex. Suddenly if one nutty person who happens to be a fundamentalist Christian snaps you have to 1. Ignore the blatently obvious fact that he was indeed a Christian and if he had done everything he did minus going crazy no-one would question his religion. 2. Whine about how everyone is always out to get the poor defenseless Christians of the Western World.

This one is very humorous and does to the Times what it has needed for a long time. This time it isn't the Times columnists that are being had.
The New York Times wasted no time in jumping to conclusions about Anders Behring Breivik, the Norwegian who staged two deadly attacks in Oslo last weekend, claiming in the first two paragraphs of one story that he was a "gun-loving," "right-wing," "fundamentalist Christian," opposed to "multiculturalism."
Wrong. The Times didn't jump to conclusions about Breivik. His own writings---1,500 pages worth---are very clear in how the man describes himself. Only Fox news could take a story of a mass murder and instead of talking about the crime and the victims, they turn it into a Christians-are-being-unfairly-treated story. Boo, hoo.
Leave it to someone like Ann Coulter to turn this tragedy into an attack on the New York Times.
Finding humor in it is beyond comprehension.
What a bizarre thing to say - and misspelled too. Mighty impressive.
Wasn't it some left-wing publication or blog that claimed American gun laws were the reason why the Norwegian went on a shooting rampage?

Except it turns out the guy never attended church in Norway preceding the attacks You'd think a committed Christian that would want to go on crusades would attend church if they are that committed but he didn't

Interesting that Ann Coulter and Bill O'Reilly(and a bunch of CityData posters) seem to be more outraged that some news reports called Breivik "a Christian" than by the fact that he commited two acts of terrorism that killed more than 80 people. Not even to bring up Glen Beck, who just seemed outraged that Norwegian youths shot were allowed to meet and discuss politics at a summer camp in the first place.
And yes I know the inevitable response--the Fort Hood shooter wasn't called Muslim enough times by the media. But it's just interesing how many pundits(and wannabe pundits) are just focusing their anger on the nature of the media coverage or even the victims(or even Muslims) rather than the fact that this sick lunatic committed an act of mass murder against innocent people.
