I am always glad when someone takes my political and social conscience to heart, and tells me how to think and how to vote. Thank God there are people who can help me navigate this confusing morass of complex issues and who can cut through the pettifoggery and zoom in on the real culprits. So you can imagine how relieved I was to receive the following commentary:
America is on a path to a greater threat then we thought. It is those wicked Harry Potter books. The reason why Harry Potter is a terrorist threat, for the spells in the books are speical codes for terrorist groups in the middle east. The characters represent well known terrorist who have attack our borders. This is why we should ban these books from our schools. So, that no child would be influence by these materials of mass killings on a free country. There is also popular podcast like PotterCast, MuggleCast who are spreading words of prasie to this horrible book of evil. And they must be stop, so that they won't brainwash anymore children with their terrorist views and support. They are the reason for the VT shooting, causing that boy to commit an act of mass murder all because of a internet show that talk about the evil that is in Harry Potter.
This is all great stuff, but the author forgot to mention the clear link between Harry Potter and global warming. If suggestions are in order, I'd recommend an amendment something like this:
"Also, for the spells in the book are rising the global thermeter, and are caused great natural clamerties such as the Hurrican Katreeena. Harry Potter and Al Gore am behind this. They are the reasons there is no more Pandas. This is another reasoning why we should band these books from our schools. I have hear that there is a evil man name C.S. Lewis who has also writing about witchcrafts. He should be band to."
Oy. I have to think that this is a hoax? Perhaps no.

I know that this woman exists (she appears to be a real, well-documented HP opponent), but it seems to me that this could be an ingenious satire of this woman's views, crafted to discredit her.
Lord, I hope so.
I find it hard to believe that she lists herself as one of her heroes...
And a word of prasie to you, my friend, for use of the word "pettifoggery."
ReplyDeletePretty sure that's a scam myspace page. Somewhat funny. Not roflmao funny, but some.
ReplyDeleteNow, if she was channeling Jerry Falwell, it might get funnier.
Methinks there are better crusading options, but here she is in her own words....

Yeah. I think her words speak for themselves. No real need for parody here. Someone find this woman a hobby.
