National Review’s Jonah Goldberg recently posted a rebuttal to the Left’s ridiculous comparison of Indiana’s RFRA to Jim Crow laws:
RFRA: Not Like Jim Crow Laws at All http://t.co/F3OT6xaYoN pic.twitter.com/ZGtBcsjULJ

“Real journalist” Ron Fournier, ever the wordsmith, decided to get creative:

— Ron Fournier (@ron_fournier) April 3, 2015
A real treasure, that guy.
@ron_fournier Have you picked up the phone and interviewed any legal scholars about RFRA?
— John McCormack (@McCormackJohn) April 3, 2015
.@McCormackJohn Yes, and more. I respect a different well-informed view. This is mine: http://t.co/Ap6PZFLYDh

@ron_fournier @McCormackJohn comparing the people you disagree with to racist segregationist is an odd way of showing respect
— Stephen Gutowski (@StephenGutowski) April 3, 2015
It sure is.
You're better than this RT @ron_fournier Fixed it @NRO: RFRA: Not unLike Jim Crow Laws at All http://t.co/np6AS4mwKM pic.twitter.com/11jaNxALCJ”

@proteinwisdom @ron_fournier @NRO WOW Ron, I thought you were smarter than this. (shrugs)

You should apologize for that, @ron_fournier. This is beneath you. Unless you want us to think of you as a lefty hack? @NRO
— RB (@RBPundit) April 3, 2015
See, that’s the thing: It’s not beneath him. Like, at all.
No. Nothing is. MT @RBPundit: You should apologize for that, @ron_fournier. This is beneath you.

Assumes facts not in evidence. MT @RBPundit You should apologize for that, @ron_fournier. This is beneath you.

It's always helpful when leftist race-baiters like @ron_fournier decide to drop the pretend moderate mask and air their real opinions.
— Sean Davis (@seanmdav) April 3, 2015
It's sad. Self-stylized centrist 'adult in the room' @ron_fournier really has a race-baiting problem. https://t.co/DtdhndvZzM
— Guy Benson (@guypbenson) April 3, 2015
Pre-RFRA, @ron_fournier played neo-segregationist card on #Obamacare. It's his go-to slander:http://t.co/1NTC7fjwcJSo disappointing.
— Guy Benson (@guypbenson) April 3, 2015
Know what, @ron_fournier? You’re crossing over into @EricBoehlert territory with crap like this. https://t.co/iSGjslmf9s

@ron_fournier It seems like you've taken no time to understand what the law actually says and how it has been and could be used.
— John McCormack (@McCormackJohn) April 3, 2015
@ron_fournier @scotthar_tx @KevinNR I do believe passionately in religious freedom and I think the comparison to Jim Crow is otherworldly.
— Jonah Goldberg (@JonahNRO) April 3, 2015
If I were more charitable I'd say @ron_fournier didn't read @JonahNRO's column before smearing him. But I'm not. Founier is just an ass.
— Drew McCoy (@DrewMTips) April 3, 2015
@ron_fournier @NRO Moral illiteracy.
— Kevin D. Williamson (@KevinNR) April 3, 2015
Historical illiteracy, too.
@ron_fournier @NRO Ron, your comparison is racist and demeans black suffering.
— Instapundit.com (@instapundit) April 3, 2015
@Neoavatara exactly, the comparison is beyond ridiculous, it is insulting to every blk person everywhere @ron_fournier @instapundit

@McCormackJohn @proteinwisdom @ron_fournier @NRO A supreme horror of the old South – the inability to get events catered by specific vendors
— Gary Crant (@Beefsteak101) April 3, 2015
.@ron_fournier @NRO …because the blacks at Woolworth's lunch counters were demanding Whitey bake them a gay wedding cake.
— proteinwisdom (@proteinwisdom) April 3, 2015
@ron_fournier @NRO Yes, allowing a freedom of conscience defense is exactly like mandated segregation by the state.
— Karl Nittinger (@karl_nittinger) April 3, 2015
.@ron_fournier You’re conflating issues/distorting history. #RFRA is no more akin to Jim Crow laws, just as Stonewall was not Selma. @NRO
— JDM (@sleepdoctorjoe) April 3, 2015
@Thomasismyuncle @ron_fournier @NRO the comparison to Jim Crow is so off the wall crazy
— Driveby Geek (@drivebygeek) April 3, 2015
as a supporter of using state force to deny people their constitutional rights, i imagine you're quite an expert on jim crow @ron_fournier
— David Harsanyi (@davidharsanyi) April 3, 2015
Oh, snap.
You are imbecilic. RT @ron_fournier Fixed it @NRO: RFRA: Not unLike Jim Crow Laws at All
— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) April 3, 2015
@benshapiro @ron_fournier @NRO I go back and forth on whether he's just dishonest or just not that bright.
— mediapostate (@mediapostate) April 3, 2015
@ron_fournier are you insane? asking for a friend…
— Ryan (@alwaysonoffense) April 3, 2015
@ron_fournier @NRO Your descent continues to be sad to watch, Ron.
— Charles C. W. Cooke (@charlescwcooke) April 3, 2015
@ron_fournier @NRO I have lost all respect for Ron Fournier. #nocredibility
