Depends on what you mean by defending it as proper. Is it beyond the pale of civil discourse? Sure. Should it be illegal? No. If free speech means anything at all, it means the freedom to say offensive and/or insane things. |
Defend it would be that one believes such a prayer is an appropriate one to use. I would speak mainly from a Christian perspective here, and what Jesus taught. It would be like the correlary to Godwin's Law, that states that once Hitler is brought you, the discourse has gone too far and can't be justified in any manner to continue. I do see the issue with Gifford, and what came out of it, as a time to review current political language being used.
