By using it the entire point you were trying to make was sidelined, and it makes it seem as if you could not care less about promoting a meme that denies the very existence of people who risked (and in some cases lost) their very lives serving their country.
Why is this so important that you couldn't use an analogy that doesn't make its point at the expense of one of the most despised minorities in the country?
EDIT: in the end of your post you ask if the statement was too liberal for us. From that, I take it that you are a proud liberal. But, how is using an offensive statement against a minority group liberal? I thought liberals stood up for minorities and against such bigotries?
As a liberal, don't you oppose such things? As a nonbeliever can't you see why we are so offended and asking for a change? Especially for those who died in service of our country?
