As Expected

While the reaction from gay groups to the shooting at FRC headquarters in Washington has been to condemn the violence, the reaction from the various anti-gay "Christian" groups has been to condemn -- gays.

David Badash has collected the comments at The New Civil Rights Movement. Here's just a few of the more outrageous:

First, Bryan Fischer (the public face of recognized hate group American Family Association), gets a Through the Looking Glass Award for this one:

If SPLC is right, that using irresponsible language re: homosexuality causes violence, then they to blame for FRC shooting.

Talk about turning things on their heads. That doesn't even make sense.

And here's a good example of psychological projection, from none other than Matt Barber:

Efforts by @splcenter & @glaad to dehumanize Christians & equate biblical truth to “hate” are working. You have blood on your hands #FRC

That's Matthew Barber, head of Liberty University Law School, which has been named in a RICO suit filed by Janet Jenkins over the kidnapping of Isabella Miller-Jenkins.

And of course, you can't malign the gays without Peter LaBarbera:

Shooting at Family Research Council: now how long will it take homo’l zealots like Joe Jervis to blame FRC for staging its own hate crime?!

Does LaBarbera know something we don't? Just asking.

These guys must love Twitter -- they can just do sound-bites without ever having to back anything up with facts. Not that they ever do anyway.
