Here’s the AFA’s Bryan Fischer ranting moronically about the “homosexual lobby” locking people up in reeducation camps and acting “just like the Nazis.”

If you say a word of complaint about any homosexual behavior then you are going to be sent to a reeducation camp, I mean you’re going to be sent someplace to get your brain washed and get your mind right until you are willing to say you support deviant sexual behavior, you’re not getting anywhere, you’re not getting out of that room until you crumble and admit that you support sexual deviancy.

Apparently the fact that he rants against gays every single day and no one has ever thrown him into a reeducation camp doesn’t register in his fevered mind as evidence against his paranoid delusions.

Here’s more of the insanity we’ve become accustomed to from the AFA’s Bryan Fischer:

There’s this odd collaboration between liberals in America and Muslims. Liberals reject the Judeo-Christian tradition just like Islam does and that’s where, I think, the linkage is. I mean, you look at Islam, they’re going to behead homosexuals; liberals want them coronated; we want them helped.

The litany of vile and crazy things said or written by Bryan Fischer has been relentlessly documented by me and many others. But now, for the third time in just a few weeks, the American Family Association, for whom he works as host of their radio show and chief blogger, has either pulled or rewritten a column he wrote because it went too far even for them.

Right Wing Watch has the original and the edited version of his column last week that argued that Muslims should be forced to convert before being allowed to come to the United States. Here’s the original version:

Newt Gingrich became the latest Republican presidential contender to go on Bryan Fischer’s radio show, joining Huckabee, Pawlenty, Bachmann and Barbour. They have to do this to reach the extremists who determine the GOP primaries, but when it comes time to move to the center for the general election it’s going to be tough to explain why they kissed the ring of this kingmaker.

Fischer has made one absolutely insane statement after another, yet the candidates are flocking to his show like moths to a flame. But that’s a flame that could burn them after the primaries.

This blog has a brilliant and thorough takedown of Bryan Fischer’s ridiculous theory that the First Amendment doesn’t protect the religious freedom of Muslims, only Christians. He includes lots and lots of quotes from the founding fathers that say the exact opposite, which I would have done myself if I’d had more time. Nice work.

Just when you think Bryan Fischer has reached rock bottom, he starts to tunnel deeper. The First Amendment, you see, only protects Christians because that is what the founding fathers intended:

The First Amendment was written by the Founders to protect the free exercise of Christianity. They were making no effort to give special protections to Islam.

Love that framing. Wouldn’t giving protection only to Christianity and not to any other religion be giving special protections to Christianity? It’s just like the “special rights” anti-gay rhetoric — giving them the same rights we have is “special.”

Kyle at Right Wing Watch asks an interesting question: When does Bryan Fischer represent the American Family Association and when does he speak only for himself? The AFA claims that he does not speak for them on his blog, which is on the AFA’s website, or on his radio show, which is owned by AFA, because in both venues he made those vile claims about why it’s okay to kill the Native Americans because they were just such bad people.

But he’s made similarly vile statements about a whole range of issues in those and other venues as well:

So Bryan Fischer first wrote a thoroughly bigoted blog post about how it was okay to slaughter the Native Americans because they were so immoral. And then it was pulled because it offended even his bosses at the AFA. So he wrote a follow up where he goes on and on about how Pocahantas converted to Christianity after she was captured by the colonists — and how the other Indians just should have followed her lead and all that nasty killing would have been unnecessary:

Bryan Fischer continues to try to deal with the blowback from his column about how it was okay to slaughter so many Native Americans and take over their land because of their immorality. On his radio show he tried to flip it around and accuse his critics of spreading hate:

The column generated an incredible amount, so much intense, vitriolic and profane reaction – in fact, we had the woman here that monitors comments, she had to say “look, you have to get somebody else to do this, the things that people are saying about Bryan are so vulgar, they are so vile, they are so profane, they are so blasphemous, I can’t take it any more.” That’s how much hate there was, and yet we’re the ones that are accused of being the hatemongers.

(more…)

That Bryan Fischer column saying it was okay to slaughter the Native Americans because they were so immoral has been pulled down from the AFA site and so has the response column written by another AFA staffer. Fischer rationalizes the whole thing:

So this is a conversation that needs to take place. But based on the reaction to my column of Tuesday, America is not mature enough right now for that robust dialogue to occur.

Ah, of course. It’s not because your column was moronic and bigoted, it’s because others just aren’t mature enough to handle your straight shooting. You just keep telling yourself that.

Bryan Fischer of the American Family Association continues to be a wellspring of stupid and crazy. In his latest blog post he says that it was perfectly moral for the Europeans to kill Native Americans and take over this continent because, after all, the Indians were immoral people. But he starts with this:

International legal scholars have always recognized that sovereign control of land is legitimately transferred in at least three ways: settlement, purchase, and conquest. Europeans have to this day a legitimate claim on American soil for all three of those reasons…

And the Europeans proved superior in battle, taking possession of contested lands through right of conquest. So in all respects, Europeans gained rightful and legal sovereign control of American soil.

Right Wing Watch points out a long line of Republican legislators and leaders who continue to go on Bryan Fischer’s radio show despite his utterly insane and theocratic views.

As we have said time and time again, the American Family Association’s Bryan Fischer is among the most openly and viciously bigoted Religious Right leaders active today … but that does not seem to bother any of the Republican leaders who continually appear on his radio program.

Just last week, Mississippi Senator Roger Wicker joined Fischer to discuss his anti-choice legislation, and before that it was presidential hopeful Tim Pawlenty telling Fischer he’ll reinstate Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.

This is in addition to past appearances from Sen. Jim Inhofe, Sen. Jim DeMint, Rep. Lamar Smith, Rep. Alan Nunnelee, and Rep. Raul Labrador.

A good indicator of just how far the Republican party has slid into the lunatic fringe.
