Governor Rick Perry of Texas manages to insult not only LGBT people, but people of faith by hooking up with a pretty restrictive faith group. Here's just a taste of some stuff that the AFA has said about homosexuals and Muslims:
“Homosexuality gave us Adolph Hitler, and homosexuals in the military gave us the Brown Shirts, the Nazi war machine and six million dead Jews. Gays in the military is an experiment that has been tried and found disastrously and tragically wanting. Maybe it’s time for Congress to learn a lesson from history.”
“From a constitutional point of view, Muslims have no First Amendment right to build mosques in America. They have that privilege at the moment, but it is a privilege that can be revoked if, as is in fact the case, Islam is a totalitarian ideology dedicated to the destruction of the United States. The Constitution, it bears repeating, is not a suicide pact. For Muslims, patriotism is not the last refuge of a scoundrel, but the First Amendment is.”
Here's a really recent comment:
Here's another from about two years ago. So it's not like this kind of stuff is new or revolutionary or unknown to folks like Perry.
I realize you do what you have to at some level in order to get elected, but really, did you need to associate with this Governor?
