Is Kim Davis in jail? And her supporters are going off the deep end...

Kim Davis' Lawyer Invokes Nazi Gas Chambers, Warns Of Massive Persecution

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Friday, 9/4/2015 10:35 am

On Wednesday, anti-gay Kentucky clerk Kim Davis’ lawyer Mat Staver, founder of the right-wing legal group Liberty Counsel, compared Davis to a Jew living in Nazi Germany. Following a judge’s order yesterday that Davis remain in custody of U.S. Marshals for continuing to defy the courts, Staver appeared on “Washington Watch” where he once again brought up Nazi tyranny. “Washington Watch” host Craig James, the Family Research Council official who mentioned his own lawsuit against Fox Sports for terminating his job as a football analyst over comments he made mocking gay rights, said that America is now on a “slippery slope” of anti-Christian persecution and legal organizations like Liberty Counsel need to “confront people who are breaking the law,” which in James’ mind, is not Davis. Staver accused Davis’ critics of turning America into Nazi Germany: “Back in the 1930s, it began with the Jews, where they were evicted from public employment, then boycotted in their private employment, then stigmatized and that led to the gas chambers. This is the new persecution of Christians here in this country.”

"Suppose the Rowan County Clerk was a devout Hindu. It would not be permissible to force her to eat beef at an office function, for that would violate the Hindu taboo on harming cows. But that official would not be allowed to refuse to issue a marriage license to a couple with plans to serve beef at their wedding reception, nor could a Hindu official deny a construction permit just because the building is intended to be a steakhouse."
