Astonishingly Bryan Fischer declared too nutty for even the AFA

American Family Association Evangelist Bryan Fischer Has Been Fired, Maddow Reports

Maddow quoted AFA President Tim Wildmon as dismissing Fischer as “just a talk show host” who is no longer associated with the AFA. When asked specifically what bothered him about Fischer, he cited “the soundbite quotes, you know, the Hitler and the homosexuality one… we reject that.”

Kinda bad, when you're too nucking futty for your own bonafide hate group.

1. Just saw that.

Sunlight is the best disinfectant, as the saying goes...

Thanks for the post.

2. For some, perhaps

One should think comparing the "gay agenda" to Nazism qualifies one as a shitbag looney, but evidently not always.

3. Trouble is

you can't fire Frank, and those who can are undoubtedly in complete agreement with him on this.

Good link.

4. I don't think anyone can fire the pope

However, Catholics most certainly can vote with their feet and as approval of the pope declines, many people do. So the pope can certainly choose to continue to promote hate and stay outside the mainstream and as he does so the hardliners will become harder, but the moderates and liberals that are closer to the mainstream are just going to stop showing up on Sunday as they have been for the last 30 years or so.

5. I heard of this creep.

Seems that the AFA is just as bad as he is to me.

WILL GETTING RID OF BRYAN FISCHER GET RID OF THE AFA’S PROBLEM?

Rachel Maddow broke the news last night that Bryan Fischer, the American Family Association’s Director of Issue Analysis, has been fired, following media coverage and pressure from watchdog groups highlighting Fischer’s racist and homophobic views in advance of an AFA-funded trip to Israel for members of the Republican National Committee.

Debra Nussbaum Cohen reports in Haaretz that following news of the Israel trip, the Southern Poverty Law Center highlighted AFA’s “extensive track record of bigotry and hate,” and urged RNC members to boycott the trip. (None have.)

“Our issue is not with these folks going to Israel, which is an important ally and important for international policy,” Heidi Beirich, director of the SPLC’s Intelligence Project told Cohen. “Our issue is that one of our mainstream political parties and a group with these heinous beliefs is sponsoring it.”

The trip is being led by long-time evangelical operative David Lane, who is also organizing a domestic effort to recruit 1,000 pastors to run for political office. Lane is also behind the AFA-sponsored prayer rallies The Response, first hosted by former Texas Governor Rick Perry in 2011, and most recently by Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal last weekend.
