Um:
That would be Bryan Fischer of the American Family Association. The AFA is a known hate group and Fischer himself has made comments such as:
- "The homosexual agenda represents the single greatest modern threat to freedom of religion and conscience.”
- "The homosexual agenda represents a clear and present danger to virtually every fundamental right given to us by our Creator and enshrined for us in our Constitution."
- “Ladies and gentlemen, they [gay people] are Nazis (see video at :24). Do not be under any illusions about what homosexual activists will do with your freedoms and your religion if they have the opportunity. They’ll do the same thing to you that the Nazis did to their opponents in Nazi Germany.”

I guess this shouldn't be surprising. After all, anti-gay groups have been using racist tactics for so long it's easy to see this stuff under the surface.
But still, really? Really? The country's first black president is running a "plantation" and trying to keep black people on it?
In March 2011, I wrote that his views on gay issues were being given a platform, without any acknowledgment that he is a member of a hate group pushing a homophobic and now apparently racist agenda. I fear he'll continue to be taken seriously by national media outlets even after this latest example in a long line of offenses.
