Tony Perkins Has Spittle Eruption Over Dan Savages Truthful Remarks

While there are many dishonest and sleazy hate merchants among the Christofascists ranks, but one of the more reprehensible is white supremacist lover Tony Perkins of Family Research Council, an organization rightly labeled as a hate group because of its incessant dissemination of lies and falsehoods against LGBT citizens.  Not a day goes by that FRC doesn't send out foul messages seeking to create an atmosphere of hate and stigma against LGBT people.  Worse yet, FRC uses the red herring of religious freedom to support continued religious based denigration and bullying of LGBT school students.  Given this reality, last week Dan Savage called Perkins out for his organization's foul and deadly anti-gay messages that drive LGBT teens to suicide and said ""Tony Perkins sits on a pile of dead gay kids every day when he goes to work — and he calls himself a Christian."  Personally, I believe that Dan's statement was 100% on target.  If Perkins doesn't like the truth he has an easy answer: stop deliberately spreading anti-gay lies and hate.  Of course, Perkins will never do that.  During an interview with Mike Huckabee (another anti-gay hate merchant) Perkins nearly wet himself with spittle as he complained about the accurate description of his handiwork.  Here are details from Right Wing Watch:

Last week, Dan Savage set off a controversy when he declared that "every dead gay kid is a victory for the Family Research Council," so it was no surprise that today Mike Huckabee invited FRC's Tony Perkins on to his radio program to respond, allowing both men to spend most of the discussion voicing their outrage about his remarks, with Perkins even hinting that legal action might be taken:

Huckabee: I found Dan Savage to be unnecessarily rude, vile, and angry. Just angry. He was not a happy person and he just takes out his venom on other people, but he's gone to a level I've never seen.
Perkins: As my teenagers would say, he has some issues. He is a man with some real deep-seated issues ... and Dan Savage is nowhere near, he's a hundred and eighty degrees from the positions that we have taken. It's wrong and I will tell you this, we are pursuing everything possible to deal with him because he is out of control.

Perkins then went on to attack gay activists in general, declaring that they will always feel empty inside because they are "outside the way God created" them:

This is the bottom line, Mike: is that if you don't embrace and celebrate homosexuality and everything associated with it, then you are intolerant. And the truth of the matter is, let's just be very, very truthful, and that's what we deal in is the truth, that even is society embraced homosexuality, there would never be that sense of self-fulfillment because it's outside the way God created man and woman. And that's the bottom line. They cannot erase that, even if they get every law on the books changed, it will never change that.

 

If there truly is a Hell, then I believe that Tony Perkins is one individual who has a reserved seat.   In my view, he's a racist, anti-gay bigot and all around dishonest and foul individual.  And sadly, he's what passes as a "godly Christian" in America today.
