Controversial anti-gay preacher Bradlee Dean is sick of the "left-wing" media's attacks against him, so he's decided to do something about it.

Dean and his ministry, You Can Run But You Cannot Hide, are suing Rachel Maddow and MSNBC for slander and false light, seeking damages in excess of $50 million.

Dean's lawyer, Larry Klayman, founder of Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch, announced the lawsuit at a press conference Wednesday in midtown Manhattan.

Dean, as TPM readers will remember, sparked a firestorm in the Minnesota state Legislature when he delivered a prayer questioning President Obama's faith.

Dressed in black shorts and a Minnesota Twins T-shirt, Dean on Wednesday told a total of four reporters, "it is regrettable that I had to take this action, but I felt that it was necessary to protect not only my rights but also countless others who believe in family values for our nation's youth."

1. Oh yeah. I'm sure

Rachel is PETRIFIED (not!).

2. Well, when you shine light on a cockroach...

3. Every gay citizen in this country should sue Bradlee Dean.

This suit will not go forward. He wants to attack Rachel Maddow simply because she's gay. I'm sure this jerk wants to run for office as the latest fascist teabagger.

4. He's also SOL

because he was too busy going ballistic to hear Maddow read his own disclaimer about not really wanting to murder gay people even though he'd just told his flock of soon to be fleeced idiots it was a good idea.

It's a frivolous suit and I hope he's prepared to pay her court costs.
