WWJD? Incite Hate Crimes Against LGBT People, according to this "Pastor"
The furious explosion of nutjobs over the passage of the Matthew Shepard & James Byrd Hate Crimes Prevention Act continues...

Our old fundie friend, Pastor Gary Cass of the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission (yeah, that's clue number one about his point of view), is back at his gay hating ways. But this time he's taking it to a whole new level. Cass and crew are headed to DC on November 16th to protest the Hate Crimes Act in front of the Department of Justice. Their tactic?

They'll be calling for violence against LGBT people to try and get arrested so they can "prove" the Hate Crimes Act infringes on their God given right to beat up fags:

The "Rally for Religious Freedom" in front of the Department of Justice in Washington is intended to force Attorney General Eric Holder either to address the issues or be put in a position of ignoring those who say they are violating the provisions of the federal law, Cass said. "We're basically going to defy the law, and challenge it," Cass told WND. "We're going to declare the whole counsel of God, including those parts that some may consider 'inciting a hate crime' to see if the attorney general is going to come down and arrest a group of peaceful clergy exercising their First Amendment rights.


Gary "Let's Incite Hate Crimes for God" Cass has lots of practice passing around the haterade.

Cass is the former head of the Center For Reclaiming America at the late Reverend James Kennedy's Anti-Gay Coral Ridge Ministries. Readers may remember Cass as the charmer who called former head of the National Gay & Lesbian Task Force Matt Foreman a:

radical homosexual activist that slandered the reputations of Christian ministers


when Foreman spoke out against the hate being preached from pulpits after the slaying of transgender teen Simmie Williams Jr.

1. I love this quote in there
"This is the way it gets implemented in all the other countries," Cass said. "Christians are singled out for prosecution, with threats, imprisonment and fines simply for refusing to stop doing what Christ commands: proclaiming the truth."

Poor wittle chwistians. They only own 99% of everything in America.

4. The really whacked part
is they don't even get the irony. They are saying that minorities shouldn't have rights protected, and then they are saying that they are losing their rights.

Or something stupid like that. Hateful bigots.

5. Perhaps what we need
is that all bigots need to registrar. A national data-base of bigots much like they do for sexual offenders.
