OMGD! The Baby Jesus has been kicked off of an Air Force base! Release the Palin!

This was the graphic put up on Palin's Facebook page a few hours ago, which of course openly steals Roger Ailes statement to promote her book.

She also linked to this article from her favorite histrionic Fox News contributor Todd Starnes:

The Baby Jesus has been kicked off Shaw Air Force Base in South Carolina, according to an organization who relishes any opportunity to eradicate Christianity from the U.S. military.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation praised officials at Shaw Air Force Base for removing a Nativity scene located near Memorial Lake on Friday. The traditional Nativity included plastic statues of Mary, Joseph, the Baby Jesus and an assortment of animals.

Apparently, an undisclosed number of Airmen were so emotionally troubled by the sight of a manger scene that they immediately notified the MRFF.

I can only imagine the psychological damage they must have suffered as a result of glancing at the plastic statues. I hope no one needed hospitalization, God forbid.

So fair and balanced don't you think?

Of course the MRFF explained quite clearly why this was a violation of the guidelines:

The MRFF’s Paul Loebe wrote in a statement that since the display was not erected near a chapel, it was illegal.

“It was very sectarian in nature and a direct violation of the U.S. Constitution as well as a blatant violation of Air Force Instruction 1-1, Section 2.11,” he said.

But hey, who cares about rules and laws when you are dealing with the Baby Jesus?

Nor does it matter that the entire Nativity scene is a hoax added to the life of Jesus well after his death.

How can that matter? After all there is outrage to be fanned and books to be sold.
