Atheist Greg Gutfeld calls out Marilyn Manson over free speech hypocrisy

Marilyn Manson (aka Antichrist Superstar) has made a career out of shocking and offensive imagery and music. He’s been free to express his artistic talents in the good old USA. But when cartoonists do it in France, “It’s kind of a dumb idea.” He stated, “I’m not saying they deserved it. I’m just saying, personally, would I fucking make fun of a terrorist group? Absolutely not.”

In other words, you can create the most disgusting imagery imaginable for Christianity, but you really shouldn’t do that with Islam. And it’s OK to insult the good people of a faith, but not bad people. In other words, unless he retracts his comments as a mistake, Marilyn Manson is a hypocrite and a coward. The comments by Manson gained the attention of Greg Gutfeld, a host on the Fox News program with the longest name in Cable. A show called “The Five Christian Bigots Except For the One Atheist Who puts up with it to get a Paycheck.”

So what did the unicorn loving closet atheist add to the mix? He mocked Marilyn Manson’s “risk-free rebellion.” In return Manson made a big mistake. He called Gutfeld a racist and asked his followers to “have at him” and “make sure it’s biblical.” First off, Islam in not a race, it’s a religion. Second, Gutfeld may only be four feet tall (with high heels), but he’s not a guy you want to piss off. The Antichrist Superstar bought himself a ticket on the pain train.

Gutfeld replied, “So, when this pale-faced pop-tart realizes he has no argument, he tweets, ‘racist.’ Worse, when he can't fight his battles, he asks his fans - all presumably still sleeping under Pokémon sheets - to do it for him.”
This was followed by “But here's the real point: he asked that his followers make their attack on me ‘biblical.’ So, demanding your rabid follower’s exact retribution for an insult, a blasphemy... doesn’t that sound oddly familiar?”

1. "Marilyn Manson is a hypocrite and a coward."

That pretty much sums it up. If pressed, I could think up a few more terms for him.

2. I didn't even now he was still around, let alone merited any attention at all.

3. Both of them suck
