"Christian" groups Promoting Hate Group on their Websites

[BOSSHOG]

james dobson and his band of lunatics as well as the concerned women of America are promoting "The Family Research Institute" on their websites. The institute spreads lies about gays like cancer (to those susceptible) and has discussed exterminating gays.

Hate groups are on the rise and the religious right wants to get in on some of the action while actively opposing Hate Crimes Legislation. Pure evil bastards who want to destroy you constitution amongst other things.

And an excellent question in the article, why are these people welcomed into the offices of republican congressmen and the white house? Why indeed.

1. A missed question.

How are these people different from the Muslim conservatives promoting hate?

Not much if you ask me.

2. Agreed 100%

One difference might be that the christian terrorists have access to our congressmen, they dress pretty, smile cutely and say God Bless you alot.

3. Their terrorists have access to our leaders too -

Otherwise we wouldn't have flown the bin Laden family out of the US on 9/12.

Plus, who knows what access they have to the Saudi leadership who may have funded some of their exploits.

5. I agree to..

There is no difference between extremist Muslims & the far-right crackpots....They (religious right groups) aren't called the American Taliban for nothing...

4. This reminds me the UN special session on children in 2002

when the U.S. stood alongside Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Libya, and Syria to oppose condom use to fight unwanted pregnancies and the spread of AIDS. I guess some of those nations are only members of the Axis of Evil™ when they do something the Bush administration disagrees with.

The US delegation was stuffed with conservative anticondom extremists, including a representative from Concerned Women of America and John Klink, the former Vatican lay diplomat whose nomination by Bush to head the State Department's Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration had to be withdrawn last year because of fierce opposition from the Senate. American threats to refuse to sign any declaration that contained even oblique references to condoms and abortion were the culmination of a two-year campaign by an ultra-right coalition led by religious conservatives; the World Congress of Families (WCF), which includes conservative reliigious institutions, a raft of antiabortion and abstinence-only groups; and the Heritage Foundation. The WCF has worked hand in glove with the Bush Administration to make the children's summit a target in the war on the condom, (Thompson's, Assistant Secretary for Children and Family, Wade Horn, an ultraconservative who was a key strategist of the US position at the UN children's summit, was the keynote speaker at the WFC's last meeting).

(International Women's Health Coalition's Adrienne) Germaine, who served on US delegations to earlier world conferences during the Clinton Administration, decries "the pure theocratic ideology on the part of the Bush Administration" and says the United States "behaved like a big bully," threatening a host of countries, especially in Latin America, with trade and aid reprisals in the months leading up to the UN summit if they didn't toe the no-condoms, abstinence-only, antiabortion line. ("We have the State Department cables to prove it," Germaine reports.)

By using its superpower status to effectively veto the language in the final declaration of the children's summit it found offensive, the Bush Administration has weakened the global effort to fight AIDS, particularly in those developing countries whose governments have only just begun to come to grips with combating the epidemic through scientifically proven means like the condom, according to NGO representatives at the summit. Bush's paleolithic obscurantism about the condom is nothing new. Here at home, he has stacked the President's Advisory Council on HIV and AIDS with abstinence-only advocates and condom opponents (as well as campaign contributors and drug company executives); and increased by 33 percent the amount the United States spends on domestic "abstinence-only" sex education. But now, Bush's bizarre anticondom coalition with "axis of evil" countries reveals a glaring contradiction in his foreign policy. And, by joining with countries he has flayed as "rogue states" to dilute the UN's battle against the decimation of the world's young by AIDS and unwanted pregnancies, the Administration has made a mockery out of Bush's campaign rhetoric that "no child shall be left behind."

Same goes for hate groups, I guess. As long as they hate the same people the Bushies do, everything's A-OK with them.
