Homosexuality gave us Adolph Hitler, and homosexuals in the military gave us the Brown Shirts, the Nazi war machine and six million dead Jews. Gays in the military is an experiment that has been tried and found disastrously and tragically wanting. Maybe it's time for Congress to learn a lesson from history.
Since the news of a DADT compromise came into focus, the religious right have been melting down. So far, according to them, DADT should not be overturned because:
Gays will rape their fellow servicemen,
Gays will taint the Armed Forces with their "nasty, AIDS-diseased" blood,
and now this awful statement by Fischer which is a spit in the eye of everything accurate and decent.
The comment is also a spit in the eye of the innocent men,women, and children - be they Jewish, gypsy, gay, lesbian, and all other nationalities and walks of life - who were ruthlessly and so needlessly slaughtered in the Holocaust.
It's usually fun to watch the religious right go into meltdown, but this has ceased to be fun days ago. Some of these folks actually believe this mess.
And just so you know, Fischer's source for this lie is Scott Lively - one of the men responsible for that awful "kill the gays" bill in Uganda..
I doubt that there will be anyone from the religious right denouncing Fischer's comments. He will be one of the speakers at the next Family Research Council Values Voter Summit. And joining him will be Rep. Michele Bachmann, Rep. Mike Pence, and Mike Huckabee.
Does this scare the hell out of you? It should.
Hat tip to Jeremy Hooper. Hooper has a plethora of comments by Fischer which leads one to wonder not only about the integrity of his Christian beliefs, but also the beliefs of the American Family Association, who employ him.

this is insane. how dare he rewrite history to make todays gays responsible for the holocaust.
*facepalm*
Seriously. Seriously?
*head-shake*
I'm sitting here with my ice cream, waiting to see if they can go any lower with this.
These people have the unmitigated gall to audaciously claim themselves to be Christian??????
How is THIS in keeping with Christ and HIS teachings? They should be soooo ashamed of themselves.
Absolute wolves in sheep's clothing! False prophets!
As Jesus said while hanging from the cross, I say to you, Mr. Fischer, "God forgive you, for you know not the evil YOU are doing." debramarie@bellsouth.net
