Curt Schilling tweets and shares on his Facebook prejudice things all the time, he just got caught this time by ESPN which suspended him for his blanket statement comparing muslims to nazis.
Doesn’t matter the math, if you work in a corporate environment with a stringent social media policy, you can’t expect things like this to fly.
But, a lot of republican politicians have come to Schilling’s defense, which only makes him look worse to be honest.
Sarah Palin being the latest one.
“Was he wrong?” she wrote. “No! In fact his stats were too generous in estimating Muslims’ attitudes. Reports show it’s 88% of Egyptian Muslims favoring DEATH for anyone who leaves Islam. The majority of Muslims in many other places share the sentiment. In America, these views could be correctly described as ‘extreme.’”
She added: “The difference between Hitler’s army and the genocidal maniacs of ISIS is that the jihadists don’t have as much power … yet.”
Palin said, by disaffiliating itself, albeit temporarily, with Schilling, ESPN had affiliated itself with the Islamic State.
“By denying the accuracy of Schilling’s tweet, ESPN shows its weakness as it buys into the propaganda of ISIS and other terror organizations, helping mislead the public about the very real threat of terrorism,” she wrote.
This is where we are at in society where ESPN of all places is being connected to ISIS.
Lord help us.
