about something that was forwarded to her by a right-wing facebooker - an article saying that a Muslim craft shop in Michigan was using the Hobby Lobby thing to force all of their female employees to wear hijabs, even if not Muslim. It was from the Daily Current, and if the article was read in its entirety, she would have seen the store owner also intended to cut off the hands of any thieving employees.

Right-wingers tend to take satire to heart, probably because they do not really understand the concept. Like thinking Steven Colbert is One of Them.
