Some clueless choad wants Kim Davis to be Time Person of the Year because she's like MLK



Though the Person of the Year is ultimately selected by the magazine's editors, Time is conducting an online poll of readers to chime in on their choice of this year's most influential person -- and the anti-gay Liberty Counsel thinks Davis is the girl.

"Who more than Kim Davis has influenced the news in the past year?" reads a message on their website asking for followers to vote. "Kim Davis inspired a nation and the world to fight for religious liberty when she chose a prison cell rather than sacrificing her conscience."

In an email to supporters, Liberty Counsel chairman Mathew Staver said people should vote for Davis because she "joins a long list of people who were imprisoned for their conscience. People who today we admire like Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, Jan Huss, John Bunyan, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and others like them."

(All of those people were fighting for rights, not for taking away rights, but nice try, Staver.)

Except for the fact that I have serious doubts about her actually changing her mind as she becomes older.
