This clip of Bryan Fischer’s radio show provides a perfect opportunity to play “spot the logical fallacy.” He argues that it’s “ridiculous” to think that mocking, intimidating and hating gay kids leads them to commit suicide because Christians get made fun of too and they don’t kill themselves.
From the “you can’t make this shit up” department:
Constitutional principles seem to be mere inconveniences to Mr. Obama, however.
John Yoo said that. John fucking Yoo.
The Bryan Fischer award is given to those who displays weapons-grade projection, accusing their opponents of their own most flagrant and obvious flaws. Here’s Rush Limbaugh from November, 2010, complaining about “feminazis” calling him sexist.
The Bryan Fischer Award is given to those who display weapons-grade projection, accusing others of their own worst traits and behavior. And you’re gonna love this one. The John Birch Society is calling another group of right wing crazies paranoid and whacky.
The Bryan Fischer Award is given to those who exhibit psychological projection on a mind-blowing scale. Gail Gitcho, a spokesman for Mitt Romney, gives us a spectacular example of this in an email sent to reporters in Michigan:

Newt Gingrich is the walking embodiment of that concept, a man who, with a completely straight face, slams his opponents for negative campaigning when he, more than anyone else, taught conservatives how to do it.
