Bryan Fischer: Sikh Temple Shooter Was a Liberal Because He Hated Herman Cain

Fundamentalist Christian radio host Bryan Fischer says that the white supremacist who massacred six people at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin must have been a liberal because he hated former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain and had a "a left-wing political philosophy."

On his Tuesday American Family Association radio show, Fisher said that Wade Michael Page could not be connected to the tea party because he had threatened to leave the country if Cain was elected president. But the conservative radio host failed to mention that Page's hate for African Americans may have trumped any desire to support the Republican candidate.

"The tea party [is] primarily made up of white people, of evangelicals, people of faith," Fischer explained. "We loved Herman Cain. He was a black guy. We loved him. We would have been happy to have him be our presidential candidate. This guy despised Herman Cain."

Fischer then made the claim that Page's identification as a neo-Nazi meant he also must have been a liberal.

"You know what the Nazi Party stands for? It's the National Socialist Party. What about the word 'socialist' do you not understand? They were the National Socialist Party - that is a left-wing political philosophy," he insisted.

Fischer continued: "And you think even here in the United States, who was the part of racism? It was the left, it was liberals who were the part of racism. It was Democrats that supported and defended the institution of slavery. It was Democrats that resisted the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments. It was Democrats that instituted Jim Crow laws. It was Democrats that created the Ku Klux Klan. It was Democrats that filibustered the Civil Rights Acts of the mid-1960s."

(Twisted but he might has some points in this last paragraph. Most people forget that Lincoln was a Republican. He was the one that signed the Emancipation Proclamation. The leadership of the South, including Jefferson Davis President of the CSA were Democrats.

Democrats in the North and South actively resisted the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and 1968. -Pote)

Be kind and considerate with your criticism... It's just as hard to write a bad book as it is to write a good book.

Default Fisher makes a living by getting people riled up with lies

Bryan Jonathan Fischer is the Director of Issues Analysis for the American Family Association (AFA) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryan_Fischer

American Family Radio (AFR) is a network of approximately 200 AFA-owned radio stations broadcasting Christian-oriented programming.

In November 2010, the SPLC changed their listing of AFA from a group that used hate speech to the more serious one of being designated a hate group. Potok said that the AFA's "propagation of known falsehoods and demonizing propaganda" was the basis for the change

Recently, Fischer has become a supporter of the AIDS denial movement.

I for one am sick of everytime some nut shoots someone the media yells"tea party!" as far as I know there hasn't been a single teaparty shooting on anyone. I'd be happy if folks would just check their facts first before labeling these nut jobs. And, some people are just crazy..it's not always political on either side.
