Fischer: Kim Davis is Like a Nazi Resistor

Last updated on: September 4, 2015 at 2:33 am By Ed Brayton

The Christian right absolutely loves their Nazi analogies. As I’ve pointed out many times, about the only thing they don’t think is just like the Nazis are actual Nazis. Anyone who disagrees with them is the second coming of Adolf Hitler, and thus they are always cast in the role of the Jews being put in concentration camps. It probably goes without saying that this applies to Kim Davis as well. Bryan Fischer says so:

Fischer Explains Why Obama Changed Mountain’s Name

Last updated on: September 2, 2015 at 12:10 am By Ed Brayton

When I saw the first reports that the Obama administration was going to change the official name of Mt. McKinley to Denali, which is what nearly everyone in Alaska, especially the native tribes, had always called it anyway, I couldn’t wait to hear the wingnuts throw a fit over it and tell us why this makes Obama the most horrible person in the history of the world. Bryan Fischer, you’re up:

Fischer’s Weirdest Idea Yet?

Last updated on: August 27, 2015 at 1:07 am By Ed Brayton

Bryan Fischer has said some really bizarre things over the years, but his latest argument seems particularly baffling to me. He claims that the entire reason the United States exists is to spread the gospel all over the world, which would come as quite a shock to the men who founded the country and failed to mention that. But further, he says that illegal immigration somehow harms our ability to do so.

Fischer: Every Bad Thing is a Warning From God

Last updated on: August 25, 2015 at 3:07 am By Ed Brayton

There are few things that amuse me more than the interminable wankery from the Christian right about how every bad thing that happens is a warning from God, or punishment from God, for — what a coincidence — whatever the person making that claim personally doesn’t like. On his radio show last week, Fischer continued this inane line of “reasoning” and said that all natural disasters, losses in war and economic downturns are God’s warnings to us:

Fischer: Gays ‘Bringing Slavery Back to the South’

Last updated on: August 14, 2015 at 3:14 am By Ed Brayton

Bryan Fischer has this bizarre idea that anti-discrimination laws impose slavery because they force someone to work for you. Of course, he’s only ever said that about anti-discrimination laws that cover gay people. Apparently it only counts for gay people.

Last updated on: August 11, 2015 at 1:10 am By Ed Brayton

Bryan Fischer has been thinking again (sorry, “thinking”), working hard on developing the next round of offensive and stupid things to compare to being gay. And after much “thoughtful” consideration, he settled on this one: gay people are like crackheads.

Fischer: Obama Exporting Sexual Deviancy

Last updated on: July 28, 2015 at 10:10 am By Ed Brayton

The Christian right loves to criticize President Obama for daring to suggest that other countries should not throw gay people in jail or kill them. Bryan Fischer is the latest, saying that Obama’s legacy will be that he has “exported sexual deviancy” around the world.

Fischer Wants to Thwart God’s Will!

Last updated on: July 10, 2015 at 12:53 pm By Ed Brayton

Remarking on a report that there are some 180 languages spoken by students and parents in the NYC public school system, Bryan Fischer says that God is judging America by confusing our languages, just like he did with the Tower of Babel. But for some reason, he wants to thwart God’s will!

Fischer: We Should Ban ‘Gay Propaganda’ Like Russia Does

Last updated on: July 10, 2015 at 11:53 am By Ed Brayton

More amusing hypocrisy from Bryan Fischer. Why, just yesterday he was railing about how Christians are losing their First Amendment rights. Today, he’s demanding that speech that is in favor of LGBT equality be made against the law. Because he loves free speech, right up until he doesn’t.

Fischer: Christians Won’t Be Allowed to Hold Public Office

Last updated on: July 8, 2015 at 11:41 am By Ed Brayton

The wingnuts are inventing every imaginable ridiculous prediction about the coming persecution of Christians, all because gay people can now get married. Bryan Fischer says that soon Christians won’t even be allowed to run for office. And he assures you that he is not exaggerating at all.

Fischer is Suddenly Concerned About Offending Muslims

Last updated on: July 3, 2015 at 12:05 pm By Ed Brayton

Bryan Fischer, who thinks Muslims worship Satan, thinks we should ban all immigration from Muslim countries and thinks Muslims have no right to practice their religion, is suddenly very concerned that we are hurting the feelings of Muslims by letting gay people get married.

Fischer Compares Confederate Flag to Rainbow Flag

Last updated on: June 25, 2015 at 11:03 am By Ed Brayton

You can always rely on Bryan Fischer. Even when we are being pummeled by a tsunami of inane arguments about the Confederate flag on public buildings, you can count on Fischer to come along and distinguish himself by making an argument so breathtakingly idiotic that you can only stare in near-admiration of the effort.
