“Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough on Friday accused President Obama of “stupid left-wing moral equivalency” for noting that Christians have historically engaged in acts of religious violence.
Speaking the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday, President Obama urged Americans not to believe that religious extremism is “unique to some other place,” noting that “people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ” during the Crusades and Inquisition.
“The President having to go back 700, 800, 900 years!” Scarborough said on his morning show. “You see this when you have people that somehow want to paint a broad brush: ‘Yes, radical Islam is bad, but look what Christianity does.'”
“Sometimes you can just say, ‘Hey, you know what? There are some really, really bad Muslim extremists,'” Scarborough said. “You don’t have to go to the other side and say, ‘Oh, Christians are bad, too.’ There is such a desperate plea for people on the left to do that.”
The hosts of “Fox & Friends” also seized on the remarks Friday, with Elizabeth Hasselbeck saying, “Christians had nothing to do with a man being burned alive in a cage we saw on Wednesday that we saw took place last month. Nothing to do it!”

And not one of his putrid guests or moronic co-hosts could connect the dots to the KKK 's burning crosses. Fuck you Joe.
Meeka is still hot though!
I wonder if he’s sexytiming her.
Oh, so RW nutjobs like Joe’s Carburetor want to defend an ancient ruthless extermination of Jews in the Middle East? Have at it, bitchez!
And I know that there were countless Muslims and others killed during the Crusades, but we know that Republicans never give a fuck about them, because when the Rapture comes all the Jews are going to convert to Christianity and go out and buy onesies for the Baby Jesus. I wonder if they’ll have the foresight to stock up on depends during Armageddon?
Oh, Joe, do shut up. Was Hitler Christian? How about the Hitler collaborators? We don’t have to go back to the Inquisition or the Crusades when we have the Nazis taking up so much of 20th century history. Please do go and tour Nazi death camps and then report back on barbarism. Thank you. Dolt.
Don’t go too far back: KKK.
