Leonard Pitts, Jr., reacts to Franklin Graham’s criticism of the Super Bowl halftime show. A snippet (emphasis added):
Beg pardon, but is it not a moral concern when you rip babies from parents’ arms? When the planet burns? When hate crimes spike? When government steals ballots — and thus, voices — from vulnerable voters?
You’d think these would be moral issues, yet somehow, the right never frames them as such. Congress robs the poor to give to the rich, people are sick because being healthy costs too much, a black man in Mississippi is doing 12 years for possession of a cellphone … and there is nary a flicker of indignation from the likes of Graham. But let a barely sheathed buttock flicker across his screen, and he’s apoplectic?
Read the rest. It’s worth the three minutes.
Full Disclosure:
I did not watch the Super Bowl.
All I’ve seen of the halftime show is a few pictures in the media.
It looks to me a lot like what happens in Las Vegas every day of the year.
