Wingnuts are funny -- Part Eleventy-Six

On Ed Brayton's essential blog, I saw something very funny today. It's a quote from anti-gay hate leader Bryan Fischer. He's super upset over the rainbow-colored paper used by an SF Burger King to celebrate Gay Pride month. Because rainbow-colored paper makes Jesus cry, or something.

On today’s radio program, Bryan Fischer said that the American Family Association is thinking about issuing an “action alert” about it out of concern that “if this isn’t bottled up in San Francisco, this kind of nonsense, then it’s going to be spreading across the entire fruited plain and you’re going to be going to your Burger King in Des Moines, Iowa and you’re going to have a rainbow color wrapper for your Whopper.”

That's just so precious. I think we should toss the standard expression, "Oh, the humanity!" and replace it with "Oh, the fruited plain!" I love it.

Is Bryan Fischer the stupidest wingnut?

Bryan Fischer is the vile spokesman for the American Family Association (a hate group). Worse, his big mouth has a radio show and it's strictly for wingnuts. I mean, this guy is way off the beam.

Today, DailyKOS focused on something he said on his show. It is the stupidest thing I've heard in a long time. Here you go:

On his radio broadcast yesterday, Bryan Fischer spent two segments laying out his argument that, when the founders of this nation used the word "religion," what they really meant was "Christianity." [...] 

"If by 'religion,'" Fischer said, "the founders, and the founders of the state of Oklahoma, meant Christianity, then you can ban a monument to Satan because that's not Christianity ... You can say 'no, we're not going to let you do it. Our Constitution protects the free exercise of the Christian religion; yours is not a Christian expression, we're not going to have that monument.' If we don't understand the word 'religion' to mean Christianity as the founders intended it, then we have no way to stop Islam, we have no way to stop Satanism, we have no way to stop any other sort of sinister religion practice that might creep onto the fruited plains"

You laughed a lot, right? C'mon, kids. Let's all go out tonight and "creep onto the fruited plains", just for fun. I'll see you there!

But seriously, how do these people manage to dress themselves in the morning? Oh, that's right. Someone does it for them because they have lots of money from their never-ending, hate-filled scams. For a moment, I forgot.
