Anti-LGBT pastor Scott Lively is not happy with HBO host John Olivers recent commentary regarding the crackdown on the gay community in Uganda and Livelys role in it.
While Lively traveled to Uganda in 2009 to promote anti-LGBT views, he has since tried to distance himself from the countrys new draconian laws, and did not take kindly to Olivers suggestion that his lobbying efforts somehow played a role in enacting them.
"Im calling out John Oliver as a liar and a fraud who couldnt go ten minutes with me in an unscripted, unedited debate. Without his teleprompter and his cheap-shot, out-of-context video clips he would be exposed as just another left-wing loony.
Oliver is lying through selective editing re Rwanda and several other points. His show was one continuous stream of malicious LGBT propaganda in the guise of comedy."

Aww, he's just upset he can't whip up a mob to hunt the dirty liberal down. Poor widdle homicidal maniac.

Kudos to John Oliver for ripping him a new one.
