Empty Platitude Shaming is not Prayer Shaming.
— John Fugelsang (@JohnFugelsang) December 4, 2015
As we noted in the aftermath of the San Bernardino shootings, N.R.A.- paid- for right- wing pols were getting push back on their rote "thoughts and prayers" reaction to the frequent manifestations of gun violence in America, the same pols who continue to block even the most modest gun control measures, even after San Bernardino. The usual Republican hacks have tried to turn this into "prayer shaming," occasionally joined by embedded Republicans and "both siderists" in the "mainstream media." Fugelsang's tweet is the most direct and accurate response to their false public piety and to those who would try to make this an issue of "prayer shaming."
BONUS: Nice long read at Disaffected And It Feels So Good.
