Not to be outdone, anti-LGBTQ activist Scott Lively announced that the only way to thwart marriage equality is with the threat of the mob. Lively is walking a line as like those who have come before wanting people to take his call seriously, even as he characterizes it as but a metaphor.
The elites need to see the angry mob liberals and conservatives together surging through the streets, pitchforks and torches held aloft, ready to tear down Frankensteins castle with their bare hands if need be. For Christians its Jesus and the moneychangers time! Making a whip of cords like He did with His own hands, and letting these arrogant puppet-masters know we mean to use it (metaphorically speaking).
The only way to deter the elites is with the threat of the mob, Lively concluded. They need to see the pitchforks and torches to know theyve gone too far and need to back down.

You people do realize how much of a threat the anti-lgbt christian right is, don't you?
That the kind of hatred they've been ginning up for decades is every bit as dangerous?
And that's it's escalating?
Less than a dozen recs for this op?
Shame.

What this will do is give the green light to some crackpot(s) that this is open season

But, but, they are Christians! One cannot criticize religions, no matter what they do.

The big mistake Geller made is not claiming her hate is motivated by her religious beliefs.

DU reads this and thinks 'Wow, that would be awful, if it happened to Muslims, but it's just gays'.
