New York Post Blatantly Insults Wiccan Soldiers - Indeed, all wiccans

(Picture of paper at link above.)
"Dear Friends, This recent headstone victory for Wiccans is indeed an historic moment, but it has been dampened by The New York Post. While the text of the article was a fair and balanced report, it was accompanied by a mocking and insulting composite picture of what a Wiccan GI's headstone would look like. The said photograph is seen below. We will let the picture speak for itself, but I think we should let the Post know how insulted and outraged we all are. Please send a letter to the editor and call the editorial room if you are as insulted as we are. Their email is: letters@nypost.com and the phone #: 212 930 8000. We've received a few emails wondering if the photo composite is a hoax, as if the New York Post would be above printing such an apalling thing. Those emailers obviously didn't know the Post - it is an ultra-conservative rag that routinely mocks and shocks. We might have dismissed this newspaper as such - - if it weren't for it's large circulation in the Metro NY Area, and it's sizeable distribution through NYC's school system!" |

1. I certainly don't beleive everything I read on the internet without validation.
2. I could see this, but then again, the Post is fish wrap that can't even hold a candle to the crummy London circulars it imitates.
3. Accidentally putting an upside down cross in a story about christians would probably result in a hailstorm of criticism! |

It was on the web as well. I saw the story, winced at the headline - but the picture had a big red X when I saw it. |
