King, Boehner, Bachmann, Huckabee sign on-line petition defending anti-gay groups

[47of74]

Nothing like just coming out and admitting that one is a homophobe;

Representatives Steve King of Iowa and Michele Bachmann of Minnesota are among the lawmakers siding with anti-gay groups.

The Republicans have joined an online petition protesting the claims of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).

The SPLC recently added the Family Research Council (FRC), the American Family Association (AFA) and the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) to the same list of hate groups as the Ku Klux Klan, the Nation of Islam and the Aryan Nations for their opposition to gay rights.

“We, the undersigned, stand in solidarity with Family Research Council, American Family Association, Concerned Women of America, National Organization for Marriage, Liberty Counsel and other pro-family organizations that are working to protect and promote natural marriage and family,” the open letter, sponsored by the FRC, reads. “We support the vigorous but responsible exercise of the First Amendment rights of free speech and religious liberty that are the birthright of all Americans.”

1. Fuck them, who cares what they think! Ungodly creeps! They are false

prophets of God and Jesus.

12. If they want to expose themselves for what they are...

...I'm not going to complain.

[NHDemProg]

2. And these hypocrites

have the balls to claim they're NOT anti-gay?

[glinda]

11. Bachmann's husband loves gays because his business is to "cure" them.

13. Series? I didn't know that, but I'm not surprised. I wonder what her kids are like. nt

[glinda]

15. Scared to death and totally dysfunctional I am sure. Her husband runs a

religious based counseling business. Pray away the gay.

3. If they feel that religious liberty and free speech are important

I will then exercise both of those things.
In my religion these people have the Devil within them and should get themselves to the nearest exorcism clinic.
Time is wasting, the Devil has been inside of them too long and has turned their brains to pus and slime.

[RKP5637]

5. Exactly, well said! It's time these creeps were called out for what they are, masquerading

their hatred under the cloak of pious religion. Damn, Americans, wake up!

[Botany]

4. Please!

“We support the vigorous but responsible exercise of the First Amendment rights of free speech and religious liberty that are the
birthright of all Americans.” Except if you are gay and in that case the Constitution does not apply to you.



History will not be kind those assholes.

6. God bless the SPLC.

They don't shy away from putting these bigots in the category where they belong -- right there beside the KKK. The SPLC does great work and when I can, I contribute. I always encourage others to do so as well.

7. These people bring nothing to this nation.

Besides cliche, hypocritical, irrational and hateful rhetoric.

[sakabatou]

8. No surprise.

[Gman]

9. Those groups have very active voter bases

and they go to the polls on election day. This has nothing to do with what these congresscritters believe and agree with. They just know they can turn out people to vote.

[RKP5637]

10. And the whole pack of them hold the country back. They belong in the back of the class for

failing grades repeatedly, holding the rest back. The disrupter's and clueless about the optimal direction for the country to incorporate fairness and wide prosperity for all. AKA The Bullies and Misfits. The fake Christians taking tax deductions while promoting their ungodly hatefulness at Innocent victims while doing little of gods work.

14. So they are really just liars and frauds??
