Lawrence O’Donnell, an MSNBC political pundit, has already taken a lot of heat for calling Mormonism “demented, Scientology-like” and rooted in racism, and now he’s taking on the Islamic faith, too.

HH: Would you say the same things about Mohammed as you just said about Joseph Smith?LO: Oh, well, I’m afraid of what the…that’s where I’m really afraid. I would like to criticize Islam much more than I do publicly, but I’m afraid for my life if I do.

HH: They’ll send you a strudel. The Mormons will bake you a cake and be nice to you.
LO: I agree.
What’s up with O’Donnell lately? Does he have a book coming out, or something? Has he made some sort of publicity pact with Ann Coulter?
