Gay-hating fundamentalists are not happy about being designated 'hate groups' by the SPLC

[pgodbold]

"When right-wingers got wind of the fact that the Southern Poverty Law Center had designated a number of Religious Right organizations who specialize in rhetorically bashing gays and lesbians as hate groups, they and their allies on the Right came more or less unglued."

I've had first hand experiences with both the Family Research Council and (as I call them) Coral Snake Ministries. You can feel your IQ go down just by reading their names in a list.

1. Well, maybe it they stopped hating...

If you hate then people may point out that you hate. What do they expect? :shrug:

[MNBrewer]

2. like NOM is always complaining about being called a hate group

Well.... if you don't believe that gays should have marriage equality, you're a bigot, plain and simple.

[jwirr]

3. Ain't that just to bad? Their actions speak for them.

[xxqqqzme]

4. They probably complain that bigot is overused.

They need to embrace their hatred. You don't see the kkk complaining about their designation as 'hate group'.

Come on all you rabid, religious, rong whackos, own your shining example of denial of Jesus' teachings.

5. My Heart Bleeds For Them--NOT!!

Too bad that the bigots got called out for exactly what they are: haters and bigots.

[DirkGently]

6. They could always stop targeting gays as part of their "religion." Nah.

[MNBrewer]

7. now, now... we HAVE to respect their religion

:puke:

[DirkGently]

8. Time we get over that. Respect the *right* to belief. Quality of belief is judged on the merits.

[MNBrewer]

10. Respecting the right to belief is one thing, respecting the belief is entirely different

Of course people have the right to believe whatever they choose, but that doesn't shield those beliefs from examination and/or well-deserved ridicule.

[DirkGently]

12. Precisely. Gay-hating is a crappy belief. Espouse it and you risk others pointing that out.

[MNBrewer]

13. for example

I believe that my cat, Cazar (peace be upon Him) is the Supreme Being and Enlightened Master of the Universe. I expect all y'all to bow down and worship him without complaining or I'll accuse you of religious intolerance.

[DirkGently]

15. Praise be to Cazar, although he is likely a minor deity compared to 1 of our dogs The female, natch.

Edit: She (may her whiskers be praised) is most emphatic about her rulership over the universe. Especially squirrels.

[Irishonly]

9. Tough

When you are a hate group, don't whine and cry when someone calls you what you are.

[The Doctor.]

11. Well, let's see, do they do the same things that other hate groups do?

- Lie about the people you hate. Check.

- Make up bullshit agendas about the people you hate. Check.

- Consider the people you hate 'sub-human' or 'un-Godly'. Check.

If it quacks.

14. But Maggie Gallager (a.k.a. Lady MacBeth)

Doesn't want to be associated with those uncouth ruffians in the KKK.... stop being so mean to her!

LOL

[The Doctor.]

16. She knows I have pictures.
