As reported by Rachel Maddow, Bryan Fischer, the man who was the face and voice of the Conservative organization, The American Family Association, and the man who is well known as a Republican/Christian-Conservative hate-monger, has lost his job with the group because of statements he recently made against Jews and gays.
According to Maddow’s reporting, Bryan Fischer and his group paid for a trip to Israel for the Republican National Committee after Fischer made some disparaging remarks about the Jewish people and gays. Speaking about Jews, Fischer referred to their religion as a “counterfeit religion” and said that Christianity is the only religion in the United States covered under the First Amendment.
“Counterfeit religion, alternative religions to Christianity have no First Amendment right to the free expression of Religion,” Fischer said. He also went on talking about the Holocaust being done by Hitler and gay people.
According to Tim Wildmon, the President of the American Family Accociation, “Bryan Fischer is just a talk show host,” and is no longer associated with the American Family Association. Mr. Wildmon told the Maddow show that “the soundbite quotes, you know, the Hitler and homosexuality one” were the quotes that broke the camel’s back.
