First Lady: GOP expression of religious beliefs and opinions which differ from hers threaten freedoms of religion and speech

Fascinating. Depressing, and certainly not surprising. But fascinating, nonetheless.

Mrs. Obama questions the legitimacy of Republicans publicly espousing their religious beliefs and expressing opinions which differ from hers, and in so doing claims that it is they who are seeking to limit the rights of others to freedom of speech and religion.

The Jewish culture has a wonderful term for the quality she displays here. It’s chutzpah- classically defined as that quality exhibited by a man who murders both of his parents, and then throws himself on the court’s mercy on the ground that he is an orphan.

Is there anything as ridiculous and hypocritical as a liberal who accuses someone else of being a religious bigot for holding beliefs which differ from hers, or of trying to stiffle free speech for saying something that is politically incorrect?
