Michael “Mikey” Weinstein frequently shows off his “hate mail,” using the threats and invective shown against him as an attempt to legitimize his cause. His presentation of himself as a victim — which he uses to garner sympathy and donations — rings hollow, however, given the “hate mail” Weinstein participates in himself<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Weinstein published an attack on the religious liberty of US Air Force Academy cadets in the local Colorado Springs Gazette<\/a>, calling their conduct a violation of regulations, the law, and the US Constitution. Weinstein’s personal invective associated these cadets with what he called a<\/p>\n

virulent strain of fundamentalist Christian supremacy, triumphalism, and exceptionalism<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In a reasoned defense of military religious freedom, Liberty Institute attorney Mike Berry — himself a Reserve Marine JAG — published\u00a0his own\u00a0column in the Gazette as a response, saying the MRFF and Weinstein were “wrong on the history and the law<\/a>.”\u00a0\u00a0That was as “personal” as the well-presented column got.<\/p>\n

In a response to\u00a0Berry’s\u00a0column\u00a0quoted at the Daily Caller<\/a>, Mikey Weinstein\u00a0 <\/p>\n

called Berry a “raging mother [redacted]” and stalking horse for Christian fascism.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Most are likely caught off guard by Weinstein’s emotional outburst, ad hominem<\/em>,\u00a0and the personal invective it contains. Unfortunately, this is standard Weinstein fare — especially when his ego comes into play, as it likely did in response to Berry’s effective disassembling of Weinstein’s position.<\/p>\n

Mikey Weinstein rarely, if ever, defends his positions or rebuts arguments that counter his near-continuous assaults on religious liberty.\u00a0 Rather, Weinstein attacks the people<\/em> who disagree with him and choose to defend the religious freedom of US troops.\u00a0 And Weinstein\u00a0doesn’t just disagree<\/em> with people.\u00a0 He hates<\/em> them with the very core of his innermost being, and he vents that loathing, with all its vein-popping invective and spittle, to the media or on the internet for all the world to see.\u00a0 His conduct is nothing more than the\u00a0tirade of a toddler.<\/p>\n

Such a repugnant character should give significant pause to those who think Mikey Weinstein is a principled advocate for any<\/em> higher cause — at least, any cause higher than himself.<\/p>\n
