Christian Hate Group ‘Repent Amarillo’
Christian Hate Group ‘Repent Amarillo’ Terrorizes Texas Town, Harassing Gays, Liberals, And Other ‘Sinners’

"An evangelical Christian hate group called “Repent Amarillo” is reportedly terrorizing the town of Amarillo, Texas. Repent fashions itself as a sort of militia and targets a wide range of community members they deem offensive to their theology: gays, liberal Christians, Muslims, environmentalists, breast cancer events that do not highlight abortion, Halloween, “spring break events,” and pornography shops. On its website, Repent has posted a “Warfare Map” of its enemies in town.

Calling Repent an “American Taliban,” blogger Charles Johnson notes that the group’s moniker “Army of God” is a rough translation of “Hezbollah.” Led by a man named David Grisham, a security guard at a nuclear-bomb facility called Pantex, Repent first gained media attention in Texas following a campaign to boycott Houston for electing a gay mayor. The group, which is associated with Raven Ministries, collaborates with other Christian groups as well as forced pregnancy advocacy associations like “Bound 4 Life.”

2. Repent Armadillo! God Hates Figs!
:silly:

I would do everything in my power to set these fuckers up, short of murder. Warfare, my ass. Let's post one back: where is their church on a map? Where is David Grisham's address - can we post a satellite photo of it?

They think they're invincible - maybe just writing an open letter to the FBI and the Armadillo local newspaper will perhaps get an investigation going to see if this fucker has anything illegal sitting around his house, grenade launchers, 50 mm ordnance, etc., PCP and crack, you know, the usual white supremacist meth lab of a human.

3. Al Qaeda with a Texas twang
If this ain't equivalent to Wahhabi Islam, then I don't know what is. And the ringleader works at a nuclear bomb factory??? :nuke: :scared:

(Damn, that's right out of a "24" script)

4. So, Nazis basically.
How dare we ignore the rules of their religion! Isn't that essential the same complaint that the Muslim jihadists have?

6. It's kinda cool that they map out all the points of interest in town
so when tourists come they don't have to find all the hotspots on their own.

10. Oh I know....
Their website is classic. Anyone who hasn't checked it out ought to. Full of interesting weirdness. And It looks like it was put together by a fourth-rate designer of military-themed video games

9. Breast cancer events must talk about abortion why?
Umm... pregnancy has nothing to do with breast cancer you right wing terrorists, so your trying to force breast cancer events to talk about abortion why?

We need to send in the army to deal with these right wing domestic terrorists, Eisenhower moved in the army when little rock refused to integrate their schools, and these people are clearly living in a war zone thanks to those right wing bigots. We need to pressure the places that hire these bigots during the day to fire those terrorists, or threaten to boycott them and drag their company name through the mud for employing intolerant bigots like this.

The national media needs to be bringing attention to bigots like this and pressure national and state politicians to step in and restore order.

11. Reason number 73 why I'm a well armed liberal.
Rather makes me wish I lived down there. I'd never instigate something, but if these freakshows came even one foot onto my property, they would be met with all legally permissible force.

Sounds like a good reason for the Pink Pistols to have their next convention in Amarillo.
