http://www.rightwingwatch.org/post/new-anti-gay-group-launched-with-smears-conspiracy-theories-attacks-on-congressional-black-caucus-and-civil-rights-hero-john-lewis/Imagine an anti-LGBTQ gathering that included remarks by a trio of aggressively anti-gay activistsScott Lively, Peter LaBarbera, and Brian Camenkerand now imagine that none of them was the most ridiculous, obnoxious or extreme speaker. Such was the scene at the National Press Club on Tuesday afternoon, where a new group calling itself Gone Too Far introduced itself with tirades against the LGBTQ equality movement, the proposed federal Equality Act, and members of the Congressional Black Caucus who support it.
Three right-wing African American pastorsRandy Short, Stephen Broden and E.W. Jacksonare part of the groups organizing committee, as are Lively, LaBarbera, and Camenker. (Notably, the latter three were all part of a group of Religious Right leaders who defended Rep. Steve King when he was punished by his House colleagues for his most recent racist comments.) Additional organizing committee members include Arthur Shaper, head of the California branch of Camenkers MassResistance; Paul Blair, president of Reclaiming America for Christ; and his Oklahoma clergy colleague, Dan Fisher. Blair is also a promoter of nullificationthe notion that the individual states hold the power to nullify federal laws.
. . .
Today is a day that we declare war on those who are ungodly, unbiblical and wicked, said Short, who is from the D.C. area and who is listed as coordinator of Gone Too Far on a press release. We are sick and tired of all the deviants, all the eugenicists, all the homophiles coming out of the closet to destroy this country. Short was particularly outraged that members of the Congressional Black Caucus, with the exception of Rep. Marcia Fudge, D-Ohio, have endorsed the Equality Act, which Short called the pedophile bill.

"The pedophile bill"
I knew these people were still out there but I never expected them to fall all the way back to using those names. I really thought that even most of them had moved passed that.
Eugenicists? Holy cow.
Red meat to throw I guess.
