'The Bullies and Bigots at Big Gay' Hit Tebow 'Like a Falling Safe'

American Family Association spokesman Bryan Fischer is none too pleased about Tim Tebow’s decision to pull out of a speaking engagement at far-right pastor Robert Jeffress’ megachurch, a gig first reported by Right Wing Watch.

In his column yesterday, Fischer warned that by pulling out of the speaking engagement, Tebow put his eternal salvation in jeopardy. Fischer piled on in his Focal Point radio program, saying that the Jets backup quarterback is the latest person to cave to the “bigoted bullies at Big Gay.”

Fischer lamented that “homosexual activists” now have “another scalp to hang on the wall, they got another notch in the belt.”

“The bullies and bigots at Big Gay,” he continued, landed “on him like a falling safe.”

The timing, it is so predictable with these low end hate mongers.

Perhaps the true Scotsmen have reasserted themselves?

and whether or not DU members were capable of such.

I haven't heard of this "wolf pack" expression. What is that about? Sorry for the confusion.

with rainbow stripes and dump it on the guy.

I haven't ever met a gay man or a lesbian that was a "bigoted bully".

The sooner we get this weapons-grade asshole off the air, preferably in the most humiliating way possible, the better off our country will be.
