Kim Davis' "lawyer" is a damn liar.

No wonder Davis is being such an idiot, with this jerk "advising" her.

Mat Staver Once Against Claims That 'The View' Called For Kim Davis To Be Killed

Submitted by Kyle Mantyla on Thursday, 9/17/2015 10:41 am

On his "Faith and Freedom" radio broadcast today, Liberty Counsel's Mat Staver once again claimed that the hosts of the ABC television program "The View" called for Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis to be killed for prohibiting her office from issuing marriage licenses to gay couples. On today's program, Staver was making the case that Davis is not a "hater" because she is a Christian and Christians are literally incapable of hating anyone. Therefore, it is Davis' critics who are the real haters, he explained, who hate Christians because they hate Jesus. "The hatred is coming from these individuals because of their own internal anger," Staver said, "but they can't be transformed by the love of Christ and we can't hate when we have been transformed by the love of Christ. This is what John 15:18 says: 'If the world hates you, you know that it hated me before it hated you.' And that's talking about Jesus Christ, the creator of the universe who died and gave himself. That he experienced a lot of hatred toward him, so much so that they wanted to brutalize him and put him up on a cross." "In fact," Staver continued, "we've even had people say that we need to be crucified. Even on 'The View,' people on 'The View' were calling her a monster, calling for her to be killed. Even on a national television program."

Those evil hate filled gays are the real villains of the story for having the audacity to go to a county clerks office and expect the law of the land be followed.

Really?

Like those evil hate filled black kids trying to enroll in the all white school? Or that evil hate filled Mildred and Richard Loving who had the audacity to move to Virginia to be near their family instead of staying in DC where they got married?

That fucking argument makes me want to puke. Trying to turn the oppressor hiding behind a bible into a saint and the oppressed into an asshole for saying "I'm not going to let you oppress me".

It takes a sick mind to try to turn the argument on its head I almost wish for the lot of them making the "poor oppressed Kim Davis argument" to be marched down the street with a nun ringing a bell and saying "Shame!" every five feet ala Cersei Lannister.
