Anti-gay group: We aren't hateful!

[davidinalameda]

Oh, this is just rich: The Family Research Council (FRC) is upset that it's been categorized as a "hate group" in The Southern Poverty Law Center's report this week on rabidly anti-gay organizations. President Tony Perkins says the list is part of "the left's smear campaign of conservatives," the Washington Post reports, but let's take a look at some of the facts, shall we?

FRC senior research fellows Tim Dailey and Peter Sprigg "have pushed false accusations linking gay men to pedophilia," reports the SPLC. In a conversation about immigration rights for gay couples, Sprigg told Chris Matthews, "I would much prefer to export homosexuals from the United States than to import them." He later apologized for that statement, but went on to argue that there should be "criminal sanctions" against "homosexual behavior." Sprigg also "claimed that allowing gay people to serve openly in the military would lead to an increase in gay-on-straight sexual assaults," reports SPLC. On top of all these noxious comments, the group has taken a lead in the fight against marriage equality.

Hmm, sure looks like hate and acts like hate. As the saying goes, don't blame the mirror if the reflection is ugly.

1. I think the saddest thing about these people

is that they are in such denial of the facts. My life is based around facts and the truth, I don't know how I could live in such denial.

5. They probably feel the same exact way, but about themselves.

They probably think you are the one who is delusional.

2. I have no doubt that in their minds they believe that they don't hate people...

6. And the KKK says they don't hate blacks

We could go on couldn't we.

Now they are trying to defend their actions. When you call them what they are they don't like it.:sarcasm:

11. Hmmm, this is really going around...

teachers that beat children don't like being called child abusers either.

Is stupidity going around?

WTF is wrong with people?

I'm ready to start my own world.

8. Hateful in the name of god and Jesus. Oh, I guess that must make it

OK. It's them, not us, we're just doing their work, we aren't hateful, it's them! These people need to go get their heads realigned. They've made religion such a hateful word. Damn them!!!
