Christianist Hate Goup Attacks Eric Cantor For Referencing Tolerance Towards Gays

I noted the other day how Eric Cantor - who is not coincidentally faced with a re-election challenge by a credible opponent - recently made statements to the effect that the Republican party needs to become more tolerant of opposing view points and on issues of cultural diversity, including gays.  While I don't believe that Cantor was the least bit sincere in his statements, its informative to see that the Christofascists have already leaped to attack Cantor.  More specifically, Family Research Council - a registered hate group monitored by the SPLC which also monitors the KKK and white supremacist hate groups - came out loudly condemning Cantor and by extrapolation, everyone in the GOP, that tolerance and respect for gays will not be tolerated by the FRC hate merchants and modern day Pharisees.  Here's a sampling of the FRC railed against Cantor mere mention of tolerance:

Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) focused on the issue of tolerance. The majority of his remarks focused on how culturally we need to be tolerant – a position I certainly agree on. But tolerance should not mean acceptance. The “politically correct tolerance” attitude that is followed by too many in our establishment society allows for embracing of individuals who attack Christians with vile and, in the case of the left’s poster boy for tolerance Dan Savage, with literal spit and bile. This same tolerance then seeks to demonize those who embrace that marriage is between one man and one woman .  .  .  . 

It is Rep. Cantor remarks on his own party though that seems to indicate it is the wrong kind of tolerance he is supporting.  .   .   .   .   A party needs to stand for something or it stands for nothing. Is Rep. Cantor saying that if a Member of Congress was an avowed socialist they would embrace them? One would hope not. Party platforms need to mean something and should be guidelines for anyone wishing to join or work for that party. If your ideas and stances are good ones and you are consistent in your beliefs people will embrace you – otherwise your majority will go away even quicker then the last one did.

I noted recently about the sharp decline of the California GOP and how even GOP strategists moan  that the state party is spinning towards irrelevance and how it's become a cult rather than a political party.   The trend is now moving to the national level.  Cantor and other cynics in the GOP national leadership willingly prostituted themselves and the Party to the lunatic Christofascists.  They have created a Frankenstein monster - or monsters if one includes the Tea Party - and now are held hostage by the insane patients in the insane asylum that the GOP has become.  

It would be nice if Cantor and others of his stature called out FRC and called the organization what it is in fact: a hate group.  Better yet, Cantor could state that he will not bow to a hate group that knowingly and deliberately disseminates lies and falsehoods virtually every single day.  Will that happen?  I'm not holding my breath.  Thus, hopefully, the GOP will continue to kiss the Christianists' ass and in the process rapidly become even more out of the mainstream and be forced to either die or cast the Christofascists back into the political wilderness.
