National Review’s Jonah Goldberg recently posted a rebuttal to the Left’s ridiculous comparison of Indiana’s RFRA to Jim Crow laws:

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

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

@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

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.

It's sad. Self-stylized centrist 'adult in the room' @ron_fournier really has a race-baiting problem. https://t.co/DtdhndvZzM

Pre-RFRA, @ron_fournier played neo-segregationist card on #Obamacare. It's his go-to slander:http://t.co/1NTC7fjwcJ
So disappointing.

@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.

@ron_fournier @scotthar_tx @KevinNR I do believe passionately in religious freedom and I think the comparison to Jim Crow is otherworldly.
— Jonah Goldberg (@JonahDispatch) 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.

.@ron_fournier @NRO …because the blacks at Woolworth's lunch counters were demanding Whitey bake them a gay wedding cake.

@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
