Hate Group AFA Goes To War Against Glee

One has to wonder what rock corporate leaders are living under if they believe that the rants of the American Family Association ("AFA") - a registered hate group - should be taken seriously. Among other things, the Bible beaters at AFA are whining that Glee "promotes deviant sexuality, normalizes homosexual behavior, and promotes idolatry and and anti-Christian views" and that, therefore, advertisers need to pull their commercials from the Glee time slot. To promote this advertiser boycott, the Christofascists at AFA have launched a "One Million Moms" effort to try to urge ignorant house wives and church ladies to raise a ruckus and brow beat and intimidate corporate advertisers into caving to their brand of religious bigotry. Last week AFA's chief mouth piece, Bryan Fischer, had Monica Cole, one of the sheep like One Million Moms, on his radio show Focal Point to criticize Glee for featuring music from Lady Gaga and Madonna, having “vulgar” choreography, and including a gay couple. Right Wing Watch has a transcript of some of the batshitery as well as some video clips. Here are the video clips:

Any advertiser that capitulates to this bigotry will certainly lose our household consumer dollars. I would ask Ms. COLE if she made a choice to be straight. While at it, asking if she made a lifestyle choice to be stupid might also be appropriate. Here are samplings of the transcript.

COLE: . . . and then you have the homosexual couples on the show, I mean there’s kissing on the show with same-sex couples. And they also have made several homosexual references in the show that we feel like that even though kids may not be seeing this, parents are not oblivious to what is going on, there is not a hidden agenda, it’s to me it’s very blatantly obvious what they are portraying as a normal lifestyle for a teenager.

FISCHER: Let’s go back to the program last week because that’s why the Fox affiliate invited me on to debate this gay activist because that night there was particular focus, particularly focused emphasis on normalizing homosexual behavior. What was the content of the program that night?
*
COLE: Well the episode was named ‘Born This Way,’ and so we had many opportunities we were hoping there could be a lesson learned in this particular episode, saying you know how you’re physically born, how someone may look, and just being accepting and happy of the way you were born. That could’ve been a good lesson learned. But then they had the homosexual student saying how you’re born homosexual, you’re born gay, and there’s nothing you can do about it, it’s not a lifestyle choice. So instead of having tolerance there, they were actually wanting to bring the point of acceptance and affirmation of this lifestyle choice.

I hate to say it, but I find myself holding more contempt for self-congratulatory Christians like Ms. Cole with every passing day. Meanwhile, the silence from the "good Christians" continues to be deafening.
