Flashback: Tony Perkins' relationship with the KKK
http://www.thenation.com/doc/20050509/blumenthal

Four years ago, Perkins addressed the Louisiana chapter of the Council of Conservative Citizens (CCC), America's premier white supremacist organization, the successor to the White Citizens Councils, which battled integration in the South. In 1996 Perkins paid former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke $82,500 for his mailing list. At the time, Perkins was the campaign manager for a right-wing Republican candidate for the US Senate in Louisiana. The Federal Election Commission fined the campaign Perkins ran $3,000 for attempting to hide the money paid to Duke.

He's a fucking constitution hating jerk, who trick fucks morons to finance his hate, and most likely laughs all the way to the bank. perkins is a christian as much as I am an astronaut.

4. Tony Perkins is as representative of Christianity
as Osama bin Laden is representative of Islam.
