http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/tony-perkins-gay-marriage-ruling-will-trigger-uprisingIt all started when a caller, John, told Perkins about a discredited conspiracy theory that Egyptian investigators had uncovered evidence that proves President Obama is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. He said that Obama is a pure Muslim who doesnt want any Christianity (sic) to be uprising here like the Muslims are, adding that Obama was trained by his father how to be a devil and a Muslim and how to hate the white people and how to hate Christianity and how to hate others.
Perkins responded by claiming that while he cant say for sure whether Obama is a follower of Allah, he knows that Obama is deferential toward Islam and has been hostile to orthodox Christianity. He also cited bizarre comments by Franklin Graham about Obamas family.
He eventually focused on the callers comments about the need for a Christian uprising, which he said could be triggered by a Supreme Court ruling in favor of marriage equality: I think, John, your point about Christians rising up, I think we are getting close to that in this country as we see increasingly this growing hostility at the hands of our own government toward Christianity and I think especially if the court imposes upon the nation a redefinition of marriage. I dont think the nation is going to accept it, I absolutely dont, and the conflict that is going to come as a result of it.

Then there's the rest of the fabulous 80%.

how many states now - and guess what,
Mr Perkins,- no uprising, no eternal darkness

anywhere.

(11,368 posts)... the "uprising" already happened, and your side lost. Now we get to raise up our glasses and toast the newly married couples, whatever their gender(s).
