Christianist Crocodile Tears

The dishonesty and disingenuousness of the Christianists and in this case their Mormon allies never ceases to amaze me. The freely lie about LGBT Americans, depict us as less than human, utilize deceptive ads against us, yet then want to portray themselves as victims when the targets of their machinations don’t roll over and play dead. These folks truly make me want to vomit. Now, in the wake of the passage of Proposition 8, the ever dishonest Family Research Council – headed by Tony “KKK” Perkins and the equally bigoted members of the Protect Marriage Coalition in Los Angeles are whining and crying because those mean homosexuals are being mean toward them.

First, we have FRC in an e-mail accusing the anti- Prop 8 demonstrators of "anti-family rioting”. What may I ask are our families which the assholes at FRC seek to denigrate? Equally nauseating is a statement by the phonies at the Protect Marriage Coalition:
*
The peaceful faiths, families, educators, activists, and community servants who make up the Protect Marriage Coalition are saddened to hear of the continued targeted attacks on the Mormon people during and after the conclusion of this fair and certified election. Like many churches, the family is the anchor of the LDS faith and it is no surprise that its members in California joined other faiths in giving everything they had to Proposition 8. Many California churches have also experienced harassment, drive-by attacks, obscenities and defacement of property. Such acts do not build trust with the voters of California.
*
And who are some of these disingenuous bigots? Here’s a few named in the press release:
*
Bishop Frank Stewart, 323-931-1477
Leader of the large African American Congregations of Zoe Christian Fellowship
Los Angeles
*
Dr. LaVerne Tolbert, 323-216-2551
African American Minister and former head of instruction for Christian Crenshaw Center
*
Minister Jim Ortiz, 562-201-4298
Latino Community Leader in Whittier
*
I never cease to be amazed at how blacks and Hispanics allow themselves to be cynically manipulated and used by the same folks who despise them and, in the case of blacks, wanted to maintain segregation and maintain the laws against interracial marriage. Obviously, these church leaders are either cretins or need a good lesson in history.

Whenever Jesus returns, there will much explaining to be done. Though I don't think it will help their case.
