Wow. Crazy people on BOTH sides of the aisle.

With apologies to Bob Dylan, truly, it appears that he had GAWD on his

1 crazy liberal shooting a guy in the arm equals 20 crazy wingers who
kill. This is what passes for fair and balanced in the conservative
community.

And it gets turned into liberals shooting up DC. ****in' hilarious.

It's too bad the hate group that calls itself the Family Research
Council was attacked that way. It would have been better to round up a
small crowd, proceed to the headquarters, and take a collective dump in
the FRC's reception lobby.

Is that what you'd do?

I sure as hell would not shoot up the place. The Family Research Council
is a hate group, just like the Ku Klux Klan, the neo-Nazis, et cetera.
It *deserves* to have a rave group take a dump in its reception lobby,
and probably on a daily basis. There's no justification for shooting the
FRC morons.

--
but you would take a dump on their floor. I would compare them to the
KKK or Neo-Nazi's. . They don't hang and lynch anyone, and I'm always
amazed, If you're opposed to gay marriage, then you are a 'hater'
and/ or your church or organization is automatically a 'hate group'

give a break....


It's possible to be against gay marriage in a reasonable way. The FRC is
not reasonable in its statements, policies and actions. The Southern
Poverty Law Center lists the FRC as a hate group, and noted yesterday that:

"The SPLC has listed the FRC as a hate group since 2010 because it has
knowingly spread false and denigrating propaganda about LGBT people —
not, as some claim, because it opposes same-sex marriage. The FRC and
its allies on the religious right are saying, in effect, that offering
legitimate and fact-based criticism in a democratic society is
tantamount to suggesting that the objects of criticism should be the
targets of criminal violence.

"As the SPLC made clear at the time and in hundreds of subsequent
statements and press interviews, we criticize the FRC for claiming, in
Perkins’ words, that pedophilia is “a homosexual problem” — an utter
falsehood, as every relevant scientific authority has stated. An FRC
official has said he wanted to “export homosexuals from the United
States.” The same official advocated the criminalizing of homosexuality."

FRC=Hate Group

Tony Perkins is a sick asshole. Probably closeted and itching to get
out. Most of the most ardent and vitriolic of the anti-gay shouters
are fighting their own urge to sin.

One of the reasons why I have no use for organized religion is the
hatred and bigotry its zealots exhibit...and there are so many of them,
too. Many of the spokespersons and representatives of the fundamentalist
branch of christianity, such as Tony Perkins, are really no different
than the wigged-out, hate-filled ayatollahs of islam. Many americans are
revolted by what the ayatollahs say, but it's "ok" with them if these
self-described christians behave the same way.

I can certainly understand why many people feel the need to have a
creator in their lives. But why they feel a need to have hateful
religions in their lives is beyond my comprehension.

I'm a liberal because the militant fundamentalist ignorant
science-denying religious xenophobic corporate oligarchy of modern
Republican conservatism just doesn't work for me or my country.
