Grant DiCianni is the son of Ron DiCianni, the artist responsible for the “Peacemaker” poster Michael Weinstein so infamously “forced” the Air Force to remove from a Mountain Home AFB dining hall.  He also represents the production company for the print. He previously released a statement decrying the Pentagon’s censorship of both the poster and the virtue it represented.  Yesterday, he published another piece in the Christian Post and had these choice words:

I have discovered that, and I say this in trepidation, those tasked to stand up to dictators and rogue nations can’t even stand up to one anti-Christian bully here at home…

Once we got past all the hyperbole and wild allegations spewed by one deranged anti-Christian activist, we find that the truth is that the Air Force censored this picture solely for the Bible verse….

He then proceeds to list some of the other incidents recently published about the military and its reaction to expression of faith, weaving his company’s print into the grander picture of religious freedom in the US military.

It seems DiCianni believes what members of Congress have recently said: that the military has granted favored status to a man who has a history of hateful attacks on Christians in the US military. In the process, there is a growing perception that there is “hostility” toward religious freedom — or Christianity in particular — in the US military.

DiCianni doesn’t mention Michael Weinstein by name, though there are few others who could so well fit the description of “deranged anti-Christian activist.” Given Weinstein’s delicate disposition, DiCianni will probably get a letter from Weinstein’s lawyers asking for his insurance information, which seems to be the habit.
