Bachmann’s Favorite Ministry Joins Fischer to Link Gays to the Holocaust
Bryan Fischer’s appearance on Sons of Liberty, a Genesis Communication Network radio show, was filled with his characteristic rants about the purported ties between gays and Nazism, gays and the Obama Administration, and gays and "brainwashing" students in public schools. While such claims are nothing new coming from Fischer, the American Family Association’s Director of Issue Analysis, he was spewing out his anti-gay conspiracy theories on a radio program hosted by Bradlee Dean of the influential Minnesota ministry, “You Can Run But You Cannot Hide.”

Dean’s You Can Run has found supporters in Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann and the unsuccessful Republican candidate for governor Tom Emmer. Emmer’s campaign donated to the Ministry, and Bachmann even prayed to thank God about You Can Run “for how You are going to expand this radio program, how You are going to expand their video program, their publications, how You are going to advance them from 260 schools a year, Lord, to 2,600 schools a year.”

Fischer and Dean’s show was quite a meeting of the conspiratorial minds. Dean has claimed that Congressman Keith Ellison, a Muslim, is using gay rights to topple the Constitution and introduce Sharia law, and that executing gays is “moral.”

As Good As You notes, “Warning, Anti-Defamation League: You might want to hire some extra staff to handle this one.”

6. Bachmann is a RAPTURE-IST. She doesn't give a shit
about the Muslim women, the world's environment, the American Constitution or world peace.

These Evangelists who believe they were "Chosen" are very eager and excited at every volcano, every flood, every earthquake, every hurricane and typhoon.

This is ALL THEY CARE ABOUT.

I think they are skating on thin traitorous ice.

7. Wow, blaming gays for holocaust is like saying it was all the Jews' idea... dumbfounding.
This story is almost enough to make me want to start smoking crack... if asshats like this get air-time then what's the point?

Or, maybe duels should be re-legalized. We can each challenge this guy... and sooner or later (hopefully sooner, but painfully) the killing will take.

20. when they aren't denying some are saying hitler did gawd's will
McCain Backer Hagee Said Hitler Was Fulfilling God's Will (AUDIO)
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/05/21/mccain-backer-hagee-said_n_102892.html


Going in and out of biblical verse, Hagee preached: "'And they the hunters should hunt them,' that will be the Jews. 'From every mountain and from every hill and from out of the holes of the rocks.' If that doesn't describe what Hitler did in the holocaust you can't see that."

He goes on: "Theodore Herzl is the father of Zionism. He was a Jew who at the turn of the 19th century said, this land is our land, God wants us to live there. So he went to the Jews of Europe and said 'I want you to come and join me in the land of Israel.' So few went that Hertzel went into depression. Those who came founded Israel; those who did not went through the hell of the holocaust.

"Then god sent a hunter. A hunter is someone with a gun and he forces you. Hitler was a hunter. And the Bible says -- Jeremiah writing -- 'They shall hunt them from every mountain and from every hill and from the holes of the rocks,' meaning there's no place to hide. And that might be offensive to some people but don't let your heart be offended. I didn't write it, Jeremiah wrote it. It was the truth and it is the truth. How did it happen? Because God allowed it to happen. Why did it happen? Because God said my top priority for the Jewish people is to get them to come back to the land of Israel." (Listen to the audio below.)

The sermon, which was first posted by Bruce Wilson on his site, Talk To Action ( http://www.talk2action.org/story/2008/5/15/141520/281 ), adds another element to Hagee's controversial stance on the state and history of Israel. It also may provide a new round of political headaches for McCain who has admitted that seeking out Hagee's endorsement was a mistake, but still declared himself "glad to have" it.

11. This illustrates the
insanity of the far right in this nation. Gays were among the first targets of the Third Reich. If anyone gay happened to survive in WWII Germany they were deep in the closet to avoid persecution.
