Earlier today, Christian talk show host Janet Mefferd had as her guest Washington Times columnist Jeffrey Kuhner. In a moment that shows--to put it mildly--a staggering lack of proportion, Kuhner claimed that as bad as Islamists are, gays and lesbians are even worse.
As a journalist I write on a wide range of issues, I write on the Communist Chinese, I write on Putin’s regime, I write on brutal dictatorships over the world, the gay, lesbian, transgender community, the LGBT community, is the most intolerant than I have ever witnessed, they are even worse than the radical Islamists. I get death threats, my family is threatened, they call on me to be fired, they want to destroy my career. I have never seen people as intolerant, as malicious, as so desperate to engage in smear and slander and libel as people and activists in the LGBT community, it is really despicable. So for them to run around and say over and over again, all we want is tolerance, all we want is respect for diversity, all we want is respect for civil rights, it is a complete lie. They don’t practice what they preach, they are some of the most fanatical, hate-filled, and I’m choosing my words very carefully, and intolerant people I’ve ever met. I believe that Middle America does not understand the full threat posed by the homosexual agenda and the homosexual lobby.
Right Wing Watch has the
audio:
Uh huh. I didn't know there was a radical gay group wanting to fly jet planes into skyscrapers, or were organizing terror cells that wanted to bring down airplanes.
In the same interview, Kuhner slammed attempts to overturn gay marriage bans as "soft totalitarianism" by judges who are "fascists in black robes." So trying to derail tyranny of the majority is fascist? Okay.
These sorts of guests seem to be par for the course with Mefferd. Remember, this is the same woman who had a guest on her show who called for a military coup against Obama.
