American Family Assn Director: 'Being An Active Homosexual Should Disqualify You From Public Office'

[big_dog]

Bryan Fischer is very upset that Atlanta fire chief Kelvin Cochran was fired for violating city employment policies after distributing to co-workers an anti-gay book that he had self-published, responding on his radio program today by declaring that gay people ought to be disqualified from serving in public office.

The American Family Association spokesman reiterated his view that gay people should not be allowed to serve in office after learning that one of the city council members who objected to Cochran's book is gay.

"This is one of the reasons why, ladies and gentlemen," he said, "I believe being an active homosexual should disqualify you from public office because it's a form of sexual perversion and remember, we're going to have to choose between the gay agenda and Christianity. We can't have both. It's going to have to be one or the other and here's a case in point. An active homosexual gets a copy of the book, on the city council and he says, 'We've got to do something about this.' And he goes on a campaign, on a crusade to get this fire chief fired and he pulled it off."

Fischer then went on to declare that "the homosexual agenda is the single greatest threat Christianity, to Christian liberty, to religious liberty and to the First Amendment" that America has ever faced:

1. Bully for you, Mr. Fischer

You're apparently at a bit of a loss that you can express such blatant bigotry, but anyone expressing the flip side of the coin you so casually toss must be labeled a threat, indeed the greatest threat, that America has ever faced.

Hypocrite much?

2. Says the organization termed a hate group by the SPLC

No one should pay any attention to any group the SPLC lists as a hate group.

3. or...

Being a right wing, bigoted nutcase should disqualify you from seeking public office.

[unblock]

4. being an active bigot should disqualify you from public office.

in fact, being an active bigot should disqualify you from the media.

in the early days of television, wacko and odious views didn't get airtime, for the most part.

if they did, they were usually characterized as "fringe" views.

5. Jesus Fucking Christ.

It reminds me of this:
"Russia bans transsexual and transgender people from driving" (http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026058073)

It also reminds me of the line from An American President, "How do you have patience for people who claim they love America, but clearly can't stand Americans?"

What a deluded asshole.

6. Maybe they can go to church and be cured.

BWAHAHAHA


Here's a emoticon if anyone needs it.

7. Being a member of American Family Association disqualifies you from getting into heaven

It is IMPOSSIBLE to support the hatred coming from the American Family Association and be a Christian.
