CNN host boots fundy Bryan Fisher off her show...

Chewed the Jesus Freak out and booted him.

The director of issues analysis of a conservative fundamentalist Christian organization who is opposing anti-bullying efforts found himself on the defensive on Tuesday after a CNN host pointed out that his "hate speech" revealed an anti-LGBT agenda.

During a phone interview on CNN, host Carol Costello asked the American Family Association's (AFA) Bryan Fischer why his group was fighting the the Southern Poverty Law Center's (SPLC) "Mix It Up For Lunch Day" anti-bullying effort.

He is a vicious little man, I'm just waiting for the day when he gets caught in a sex scandal, having his luggage carried by a "Rentboy."

a "religious exemption" to anti-bullying legislation. That translated into you could beat the shit out of a gay or Muslim as long as your religion objects to them. It serious, evil bullshit and caused such an uproar that he dropped it.

Evil, evil, evil. The GOP is pure EVIL.

Sorry, rant off.

One of their major tactics in getting people to shut up about why they are so wrong is bullying.
