Anti-gay heavy metal preacher files lawsuit against Rachel Maddow
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/07/26/anti-gay-heavy-metal-preacher-files-lawsuit-against-rachel-maddow/

Attorney Larry Klayman, the founder of Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch, has filed a lawsuit against Rachel Maddow and MSNBC on behalf of Bradlee Dean, head of the religious ministry You Can Run But You Cannot Hide International.

The lawsuit seeks in excess of $50 million in damages for false accusations and defamation. Dean claims that Maddow accused him on her MSNBC show of supporting the killing of homosexuals, which harmed the "fine reputation" of himself and his ministry.

"This case is filed as a matter of principle," Klayman said. "We need more Bradlee Deans in the world and hateful left wing television commentators must be made to respect not only his mission but the law."

(snip)
But after playing the clip Maddow noted that Dean "later clarified that he didn't really mean to sanction murder of gay people, he said, quote, 'We have never and will never call for the execution of homosexuals."

5. Here are the words of the hate monger:
"Muslims are calling for the executions of homosexuals in America. This just shows you they themselves are upholding the laws that are even in the Bible of the Judeo-Christian God, but they seem to be more moral than even the American Christians do, because these people are livid about enforcing their laws. They know homosexuality is an abomination."

Those are his words, and this man is suing Rachel?

7. This so-called heavy metal "minister" Bradlee Dean needs to be investigated
Edited on Tue Jul-26-11 10:16 PM by Urban Prairie
if his ministry is politically connected to/supported by Batshit Bachmann, and apparently is allegedly misleading school administrators booking his "band" about the nature of their program, propagating its views regarding abortion and homosexuality to students, and is earning "thousands of dollars" per event, if it has tax-exempt status.

Rule # 1 if you are a screaming dumb fuck do not pick a publicly fight w/ a Rhodes Scholar who has a national t.v. show and knows how
to work "the google machine" just fine. You will lose every time.





Axl Rose just called and wants "his look" back

9. "When I lost my hair and my looks, I lost my career as a rocker..."
