Right-Wingers Think Fox News Has Gone Pro-Gay

And people though

A right-wing group is up in arms about a scheduling change due to take place at Fox News Channel that has slightly more progressive commentator Megyn Kelly taking over uber-conservative anchor Sean Hannity's 9 p.m. weeknight time slot.

America's Survival Inc., which bills itself as a "public policy organization," issued a scathing press release condemning the transition as evidence of Fox's descent into liberal, pro-gay anarchy.

"Pushing Sean Hannity out of the 9:00 p.m. slot, to make way for pro-homosexual advocate Megyn Kelly, is another sign of the channel's left-ward drift and decline," America's Survival president Cliff Kincaid said in a press release reported on by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

The conservative group laid out its arguments in a massive 73-page report, written by notable antigay activist Peter LaBarbera of the hate group Americans for Truth About Homosexuality. The hysterical report features apocalyptic headlines like "Fox News Rolls Over on Homosexuals in the Military," "Long Term Consequences: The Decline of American Civilization," and "Shepard Smith: The Next Anderson Cooper?" The 40,000-word report seems to document every single instance where anyone on Fox has said anything remotely tolerant of LGBT people.

And people thought "the Homosexual agenda" was just a myth!

Is met with biting hostility. These people on the right are dangerous and perverse and are standing in the way of creating a better world.

Yeah, and a plate of boogers is "slightly more appetizing" than a bowl of shit.

Something else. It reminds me of really fringey stuff from the 50s or even earlier. There's implicit anti-Semitism in there loud and clear as well.
