OK, this is good for a hoot. TPM blogger M.J. Rosenberg shares a
story about a rabbi at his synagogue whose sermons became more anti-Muslim after being barked at by a well-known nutball:
In his defense, the rabbi may have been trying to appease Charles Krauthammer. The previous year, right after 9/11, the same rabbi gave a sermon urging that we make distinctions among Muslims, Arabs, etc. Krauthammer, sitting in his wheelchair in the aisle, started bellowing at the rabbi for not recognizing pure evil. It totally disrupted the service, although it was one of the few not boring moments I have experienced in a house of worship.
I love the image of Krauthammer sitting there like some sort of modern-day Dr. Strangelove, booming "THEY'RE ALL EVIL! PURE EEEEEEVIL!"
