American Family Association's Tim Wildmon backed caller's warning of "evidence of homosexuality and lesbian people on programs like HGTV and Animal Planet"

During the October 11 broadcast of Today's Issues, a daily show on the Christian broadcasting network American Family Radio (AFR), host Tim Wildmon -- president of the American Family Association (AFA), which operates AFR -- agreed with a caller's claims that "you really, really, really have to watch what you are watching on TV" because "evidence of homosexuality and lesbian people" appears in programming on cable channels HGTV and Animal Planet. He responded by telling the caller, "You're very perceptive ... because that does happen, even in the most innocent of places." Wildmon also warned that "you have to watch out for children's programs today as well because they'll slip it in there as well."

-------------------------

the Amer. Fam. Ass. should wake up to the fact that homos are everywhere, like air, they are necessary to the planet, like trees and water.

the religiously insane are so tiresome.

1. Paging Tim Wildmon

There wouldn't BE an HGTV without gays and lesbians.

(or MTV, HBO, CBS, NBC, ABC etc)

[tularetom]

2. I'll bet you a dollar

to a dog turd that there are homos in the American Family Association as well.

[icymist]

3. WTF is this?! Someone complaigns to a 'Christian' network, therefore

it's right?! Don't screw with us with this crap!

[meow2u3]

4. His mind is in the gutter

And he's probably a closet case himself.

[RagAss]

13. He's got something going on ...that's for sure...they all do.....

[FreedomAngel82]

18. All of them are too obsessed with sex

:crazy: Whether it's abortion or gay people. They need to get laid and leave everyone else alone.

[mongo]

5. LOL!

If there weren't any gay designers on HGTV, would they even have a network?

Comming up next - decorating your yard with old tractor tires from the NEW HGTV.

How about a hummingbird feeder mad from a budwiser can?

[neebob]

23. It's not just the designers

but actual gay couples having their homes redecorated by the gay designers and sometimes even doing the redecorating themselves and showcasing them in a way that viewers know they're living together in those homes.

It can't be the designers, because then they'd have to include all the channels with design and style shows.

[Metta]

6. Everything is yellow to the jaundiced eye.

Yes, I, too, find their tantruming and conspiracy tiring. It's obvious projection and lack of ability to hold differences. A weakness of so many no just Christians.

[Opusnone]

7. American Family Association

Should be ignored (wipe hands, walk away)

[Ian David]

8. He forgot Postcards from Buster, Bert&Ernie, Spongebob, Davie&Goliath

Them homer-sec-shew-awls are everywhere, gawd-dammit...

[A Simple Game]

9. Bert&Ernie, gay?

Ahhh, I see. It's starting to make sense now.

[AntiFascist]

10. WARNING: there are fascists on the radio!!!! nt

[Jara sang]

11. On 'The Simpsons', Homer kissed another man.

Is that gay? I'm shocked! :sarcasm:

[Duncan Grant]

12. There are witches living on my street. I see them everywhere.

These people (AFA, et al.) are so spiritually undisciplined that their very 'perceptions' lead them to heresy. What's particularly alarming to me is that it's now taboo to criticize or debate the ignorance and superstition of these people publicly.

While we're not witnessing literally burnings at the stake in 21st century America, many of us are experiencing them figuratively. That may read as hyperbole to you but I'll ask you to consider the anti-gay protestations of the Pope, the Dear Leader, and any number of supernumeraries connected to politics and religion.

I'm looking forward to supporting a renewal of secular enlightenment myself. May it come soon.

[ComerPerro]

14. Homosexuals? On a network dedicated to home decoration and design?

Gasp!

[ComerPerro]

15. LMAO. He said "Slip it in there"

ROTFL!!!!!

I know its immature, but so is his entire argument.

[Ian David]

17. Did he use the phrase, "cram it down our throats?"

They like to use that a lot. "Cramming the homosexual agenda down our throats."

To which I add, "until their lifestyle is our chins."

[Lethe]

16. who is gay on Animal Planet?

not the croc hunter?
jeff corwin? he's married but i bet money he is gay
mario lopez? he never had a girlfriend on Saved By the Bell...maybe

[Obamarama]

22. I think Jeff Corwin and the Dog Whisperer have a thing going on....

Or maybe Nigel Marven is doing Mario Lopez?

God...maybe my TiVO will go backwards and I can check to see if Animal Planet is imbedding sublimimimiminal gay messages when played backwards.

Oh yeah...and did you hear about the gay penguins?

Yeah, that Animal Planet is a hot bed of homo sex now that I stop and think about it!

Oh, the humanity...

[Lethe]

28. does Jeff Corwin come off as gay to you guys?

i know he's married but something about him just says "ghey"

[napi21]

24. Who's gay on Animal Planet? Probably the animals! HAH!

These people are afraid of their own shadows. I know my title could seem like the wrong thing to say, but I BET the RW really does believe the animals who hump the same sex in their same group is homo too!

I know I've heard people say their DOG was a homo!

[neebob]

25. I'm scratchin' my head on that one, too

Maybe the new funny animal video guy, or the dog show people.

[insane_cratic_gal]

19. homos on HGTV!

say it ain't so... and last i checked homosexuality is a natural act in the animal kingdom.

You know what thank god for homos on HGTV channel or my house style would be country cow.

When are homos invading the QVC channel? My god does that show need a make over.

[zanne]

20. These people are helpful....

They let people in this country see what the conservative religious movement is really all about. Nuts like these are objects of curiosity and ridicule. The more these guys open their mouths, the more they doom their "movement".

[Rockholm]

21. Hey Dipshit Wildmon.......WE'RE EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!!

[bluedawg12]

26. I see lesbian people..oooh noooo!

the religiously insane are so tiresome.

fucking perpetual war and strife with wedge issues--damn they are an abomination.

[bluedawg12]

27. The dumb right following Straussian model

developed by the 19th century philospher and picked up by Trotskyites and now embraced by the radicalright dupes.
