Today in my news briefs, I posted a news item from People for the American Way's Right Wing Watch regarding the American Family Association's Bryan Fischer and an interview he conducted with Bradlee Dean of the Minnesota ministry, “You Can Run But You Cannot Hide"
Right-Wing Watch describes Dean's ministry as such:
Right Wing Watch noted that Dean and Fischer had a very nauseating time during the interview in which they tried to outdo each other with hideous claims about the lgbt community.
But as I pointed out in that post, Dean had already done the lgbt community one worse earlier last year when he conducted an interview with discredited researcher Paul Cameron. You will remember that Cameron has been dismissed and censured from several medical organizations due to his tendency to fudge his research about lgbts or make up horror stories about us castrating children and wallowing around in feces.
In the post earlier today, I posted one part of the interview between Dean and Cameron. I am now posting this second part, which I think is the most gratuitously homophobic. I couldn't listen to it all. However if you can, good for you for having a strong stomach.
For me, the interview ranks right up there with being strapped down and forced to listen to the rants of racists trying to outdo each other in relating the most evil things they can say about African-Americans:
Of course the difference is that if these @!^&% were talking about black people, Michele Bachmann probably wouldn't be singing the praises of Dean's ministry.
It's definitely something worth thinking about the next time someone in our community talks about "ignoring people like Dean or Cameron" so as to not give them a larger voice of power.
I got news for these snobby individuals who espouses such a belief - it sounds like Dean and Cameron already have that voice.
At the very least, Dean has the ear of a Congresswoman.
Right-Wing Watch describes Dean's ministry as such:
Dean’s You Can Run has found supporters in Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann and the unsuccessful Republican candidate for governor Tom Emmer. Emmer’s campaign donated to the Ministry, and Bachmann even prayed to thank God about You Can Run “for how You are going to expand this radio program, how You are going to expand their video program, their publications, how You are going to advance them from 260 schools a year, Lord, to 2,600 schools a year.”

Don't get too concerned that hateful wackos tickle the ears of demagogues in Congress. Does anybody remember Rep. William Dannemeyer? Does anybody nowadays think two thoughts about Jesse Helms? In their day, these two were raving anti-gay haters. Now they're gone and forgotten. In America demagogues rage and rant for a day or two and then vanish into thin air. Rep. Bachmann is running out her 15 minutes of infamy and will soon be a forgotten has-been.
Too bad such a pretty boy is so hateful...
Let's hope Crazy Eyes Balloon Head gets her cumuppance soon. She needs a long distraction from hating the LGBT community.
