Unions Quoting Allah to Support Card Check?

Apr28
 

Ed Morrissey of HotAir.com has an outrageous find today. Apparently, the unions are now equating passage of the Employee Free choice Act (EFCA) to a religious cause. In doing so, they use quotes from the Koran, the Bible and the Torah.

Ed ridicules this effort and finds that the union dolts didn’t even get the proper reference right when quoting the Bible.

Unfortunately, they prove themselves just as adept at religious analysis as they do at politics in connection with Card Check. “Our true wealth is the good we do in this world” isn’t an argument for higher wages, but a call to disregard the material over the spiritual. Did they even read that before sticking it on a representation of the Dead Sea Scrolls — which, by the way, had nothing at all to do with Islam? Only the middle quote, James 5:4, has anything to do with wages and payment — and even that was a parable. Jesus was not the “first community organizer,” and He didn’t die on the cross in order to get management to talk to labor.

Morrissey does a great job make fools of those who made fools of themselves.
