Sam Brownback downplays his involvement in creepy prayer rally

[proud2BlibKansan]

​The prayer rally that Texas Gov. Rick Perry is leading in Houston on Saturday is looking more like a cautionary tale than a great awakening.
Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback, the one governor who planned to attend the arena-sized day of fasting and prayer, now appears to be waffling in his commitment to the event -- perhaps out of recognition that it's creepy with homophobes.

One of the sponsors of "the Response" is the American Family Association, an organization whose views are so obnoxious that it's listed as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. Bryan Fischer, the American Family Association's director of issue analysis for government and public policy, has stated that homosexuality "gave us Adolph Hitler, and homosexuals in the military gave us the Brown Shirts, the Nazi war machine and six million dead Jews."

Fischer's Holocaust origin story is hardly the only stupid idea that has been promoted by the ministers who have attached themselves to the Response. One of the preachers who's an official "endorser" of the event attributed a rash of bird deaths in Arkansas to the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell.

1. Gee Sam, it's tough being torn between your commitment to Jeebus and, you know, keeping your job

C'mon, Sam. Choose you this day who you will serve.

Do it. I frickin' dare you.

2. Sounds just like the type of event Sam would be proud to be a part of and

to strut around as the proud KS gov. Show your colors, Sam. Let the world see more of the "real" you.

4. If Rick Perry is a little too nuts for Brownback to associate with, then Perry should not ...

be allowed to move about in public without off-leash.
