Jeremy Hooper uncovered a sermon delivered last July by the Family Research Councils Tony Perkins. In it, he makes the most odious comparison, juxtaposing gay soldiers marching in a pride parade to the Aurora shooting and pedophiles kidnapping children:
The most tragic mass shooting in the history of our nation at the opening event of the latest Batman movie.
Yesterday for the first time in the history of our nations military, men and women in uniform marched in a gay pride parade in San Diego, California.
Children are being snatched off our streets almost daily, taken from their parents and their families by perverted individuals pursuing their own interests and desires.

And yet he STILL throws temper tantrums when it's brought up that his group is declared to be a hate group.

(67,108 posts)1. A hate group does not adequately describe them, I think of them as demons from hell. As I was
taught, the devil comes in many forms. These people are fake Christians pursing the work of the Satan ... using religion as a guise to cloak their evil ways. In short, they are monsters in disguise wearing fake smiles while they pursue their evilness.

he's in danger of being in Narnia. The self-loathing of that little rat bastard is obvious.
