Ah, I think we've already covered tu quoque elsewhere in depth, so no need to re-demonstrate it for us.

As for why I abhor a paid "news" representative calling for a public figure to change his religion, well, if you don't get it now you never will. As a Christian I find it offensive.

Most of your counter-argument amounts to "he means well, so it's okay." As I said, every fundamentalist means well, including the Taliban and Al Qaeda. Everybody believes that they are pro-good and anti-bad. That's a constant of the human condition. The trick is to mean well and not be a jerk about it. Advocating your religion (or non-religion) on a news channel as a paid news commentator is beyond the pale. Imagine how you would react if, say, Sam Donaldson declared that the road to redemption for the Republicans was to convert to Islam. I think you'd say he was being a clear and present idiot. Which is exactly what I'm saying about Hume, who is not only being a jerk, but pathetically, incorrectly, and cowardly claiming that he wasn't proselytizing, when that was exactly what he was doing.
