GOP Lawmakers Use Christian Hate Radio To Concoct Conspiracies, Build Opposition To Health Reform


AFA Radio host Janet Porter The American Family Association (AFA) is a Christian hate group that mobilizes activists around the country to protest gays, Muslims, and other groups it views as either abhorrent or in violation of its narrow view of the Bible. Recently, AFA called for the military to purge all Muslims from the military. The group is perhaps best known for its annual Winter crusade, when AFA leads boycotts against retailers that greet customers with something other than “Merry Christmas.”

Many GOP lawmakers, including Sen. Sam Brownback (KS) and Sen. Mike Johanns (NE), are frequent guests on AFA radio. In the last week, however, AFA has worked closely with right-wing members of the House to build massive opposition to health reform. AFA talk show personality Janet Porter has hosted GOP Reps. Trenk Franks (AZ), Todd Akin (MO), Michele Bachmann (MN), Steve King (IA), Tom Price (GA), Jim Jordan (OH), and others to concoct outlandish conspiracy theories against health reform, while urging listeners to make calls to Congress.

1. Quite dangerous, meanwhile, most Americans snooze at the wheel, unconcerned while

we go over the cliff. As one of my friends once said and I agreed, this country needed another eight years of Bush to wake it up...

2. Oh, no! How dare they come after Health 'reform'!

Geez. When they spent the last 20 years attacking glbt people, where was the outrage? When we complained about religious people slandering us on Obama's campaign trail, he said such bigots are 'good, decent and moral people' with whom he shares a deep faith, and to whom he will always listen, no matter what they say about others. But they criticize a policy and the world is ending?
The priorities of those 'on our side' get tiring.
