It's too bad WISH-TV political reporter Jim Shallow is more interested in reporting on State House gossip about those he personally disfavors instead of reporting on all of the public corruption his pals at the State House are engaged.

Hack State House Reporter Gloats About RFRA Lobbyist Losing Job With Law Firm Over Issue

Curt Smith is a fine, fine man. He is an example of the admonition to evangelize the Christian message by putting actions before words. Having said that, I have always found his words to be laced with love, compassion and mercy. Smith's forced departure from Taft is a most unfortunate fallout from blanket accusations of hatred towards any and all who might have a reason to find themselves in disagreement with the anti RFRA crowd. Someday, history will put these hate filled accusers in the same category of those demanding that innocent girls in Salem be burned at the stake as witches. The mass hysteria of the anti RFRA crowd is frightening to observe.
Maybe I'm missing the "gloat." There doesn't seem to be so much as an adverb or an adjective.
In Salem Village, life was governed by the precepts of the church. Cotton Mather, a minister of Boston’s North Church was a prolific publisher of evangelical style pamphlets and a firm believer in witchcraft, and his highly charged religious views resulted in the mass hysteria which gave rise to the witch rumors. This strikes me as quite funny, this view by a previous poster, who blames innocent victims for the downfall of the oppressor and quite incorrectly likens the facts of Indiana’s religious freedom debacle to those that existed in Salem. Just remember. Eighty percent of Indiana residents are Christians, and they number in the millions, preaching their anti-gay messages of hate weekly in tens of thousands of churches against a small 3 percent of the population that are gay. Gays have no protection against this wave of hatred from Christian evangelists. But the Christians always assert that it is they, the huge in numbers, who are the victims, a most disingenuous, almost ridiculous argument. It was, of course, a Christian minister responsible for the hatred and death of innocents in Salem. Just as the oppressors in Indiana are the Christians. It fools no one. Baseless protestations that their religion is being endangered by limiting their ability to viciously discriminate at will in the name of their God. A bastardization of religion if ever there was one. And now Indiana ridiculed by the rest of the United States as a backwater full of ignorants who whine that they are prevented now from fully expressing their full condemnation.
Two Things...
1) Jim Shella is a washed-up, washed-out "personality" who, I am told by his close comrades in television land, does very little journalistic work but excels in repeating talking points as reporting. Shella's tweet proves he gives new depth to the word "shallow".
2) Anon 7:25 sounds like an intolerant gay bigot hater who would NEVER have the balls (or ovaries) to dare bash a Muslim in the way his or her false portrayal of Christians is presented in the "comment".
Oh, and as appoint of information, I am an out gay professional individual who is repulsed by the very example of intolerance and total ignorance of fact Anon 7:25 exudes in the bullying, intolerant, false spew presented as a comment on this page.
"The Taft law firm, according the spokesman, has a principle of inclusiveness..." except apparently as it relates to matters of religion and people expressing their views. Then there is no tolerance or inclusiveness.
Anon 7:25, better find your Attendant because it's time for your medication.
P. S. The ignorants you speak of are those who believe the propaganda spread by the likes of Gannet and that somehow RFRA has something to do with gays. It does NOT, as Gary has clearly pointed out.
For years, Shella has been nothing but a media whore for the Left.
I don't think it's fair to ascribe his political beliefs as either liberal or conservative. His views reliably align with whatever the establishment folks are pushing.
I guess Jim Shella is helping with the chill effect? And speaking of chill effect, it is interesting that so many commenters on this blog choose to be anonymous.
Anonymous 7:25: Since you seem to be quite good at research, might I suggest you research the "rabbit hole" issues that no doubt give people like Gary a broader perspective? The real oppressors are not Christians to GLBT people; whites to blacks; etc. The real oppressors are the globalists/the establishment/the shadow government, if you will, who purposefully and methodically fan the flames of division as a means to an end. Take the red pill, go down the rabbit hole, and you will likely find that who you thought was the enemy isn't the enemy at all, and that the vast majority of people are being duped, primarily by the effective propaganda machine run by corporate media who are in bed with the globalists/establishment/shadow government.
Agree 8:14. All Americans should be watching the American Odyssey.
>>His views reliably align with whatever the establishment folks are pushing.<<
Isn't it the Downtown Law Firms that underwrite the show which he hosts (and likely gets a stipend for his appearance on there) on PBS?
