Yeah, well, "at least the government isn't trying to arrest you" is not much consolation when he's out of a job and in hiding from death threats. This is a reaction totally out of proportion to the offense, which was that a guy said a colossally stupid thing.

I guarantee you there are plenty of Texas preachers out there who are proudly declaring this event to be God's punishment for allowing homosexuals to marry, or some such. They certainly did with Katrina. It would take someone pretty dense to miss the analogy there. Dude should definitely be ashamed of himself. He should not have his life ruined. We all say stupid crap we regret.
