Posted December 11th, 2007 at 7:36 PM by Jon Ham

Larry O’Donnell, Democratic operative, now activist, lefty mouthpiece and Hollywood producer, admitted to cowardice on Hugh Hewitt’s show. It’s amazing to read, really. He says it’s safe to be bigoted against Mormons because they’re nice people, but he’s afraid for his life to criticize Muslims, much as he’d like to:

HH: Would you say the same things about Mohammed as you just said about Joseph Smith?

LO’D: Oh, well, I’m afraid of what the…that’s where I’m really afraid. I would like to criticize Islam much more than I do publicly, but I’m afraid for my life if I do.

HH: Well, that’s candid.

LO’D: Mormons are the nicest people in the world. They’re not going to ever…

HH: So you can be bigoted towards Mormons, because they’ll just send you a strudel.

LO’D: They’ll never take a shot at me. Those other people, I’m not going to say a word about them.

That sort of sums up the West’s problem with Islamo-fascism.
