Conservative radio host: Obama is gay, wants to dress in drag

I swear if we followed some of these conservatives with a tape recorder, the lgbt community would win this so-called "culture war" hands down. I vote that one of the people we follow around is this conservative radio host Stan Solomon. In this video, he not only accuses President Obama of being gay, but also wanting to "dress in drag."



I mean how wacky do you have to be to knock arch anti-feminist Phyllis Schafly off of her talking points?

Hat tip to Right Wing Watch.

Hate group wants Congress to investigate the Southern Poverty Law Center

Tony Perkins of FRC
Last week, I received the following money plea email from the Family Research Council:

The secret is out. The Obama administration has joined forces with perhaps the most anti-Christian organization in America today -- the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).

By making reckless accusations against those who stand for biblical morality, the SPLC has incited violence and hatred against those who oppose the Obama administration on issues such as same-sex "marriage" and religious liberty.

The anti-Christian crusade instigated by the SPLC has already resulted in an armed terrorist attack on Family Research Council headquarters in Washington, D.C.

You would think that the Obama Justice Department would distance itself from the SPLC for creating a climate of animus and hatred toward groups like FRC, but since the attack on our headquarters the Justice Department has shown no signs of breaking ties with the SPLC.

That's why FRC is urging Congress to investigate the SPLC's ties to the Obama administration. Will you help us stand strong? The President needs to be exposed for colluding with the SPLC to stifle debate on social policy issues by means of intimidation, fear-mongering, and spreading lies.

The email ends with a plea by FRC for folks to send a "much needed gift" so that the organization can continue to supposedly expose SPLC and the Obama Administration

No doubt this is just a ploy for FRC to raise money (and a way to get back at SPLC for rightfully designating it as a "hate group") but I would advise the organization to tread lightly. There is a myriad of information out there which would prove that the Family Research Council is guilty of everything it has been accused of by the Southern Poverty Law Center. And then some.

In the possible Congressional investigation or hearing, I am sure the following will come out how the Family Research Council:

  • accused gays of being tools of Satan,
  • falsely accused an organization (GLSEN) of deliberately giving adult material to minors,
  • distorted scientific research and ignored the authors of said research when they complain about how you misuse their data,
  • published papers and studies authored by fake experts filled with false data egregiously cherry-picked, and
  • made inaccurate comparisons about such things as same-sex marriage as opposed to heterosexual marriage

The question for FRC is do you really want all of this to come out?

Do you really want there to be a Congressional hearing or investigation where no doubt you would be exposed as a fraudulent organization who has for over two decades hid its homophobia, lies, and propaganda behind "Christian principles."

I think the old adage of being careful of what you wish for because you just might receive it is very apropo here.
