Unreal: At Values Voter Summit, Bryan Fischer Says Rights Are Endangered if President Believes in Evolution

Poster boy for the deranged anti-science right wing
• Views: 24,031

Today at the Values Voter Summit attended by all the major GOP presidential candidates, fanatic hate-monger Bryan Fischer uncorked a truly deranged rant about evolution, calling the separation of church and state “mythical,” and arguing that “not a single one of our unalienable rights will be safe in the hands of a president who believes that we evolved from slime and that we are the descendents of apes and baboons.”

Wow.

And this is why I believe that evolution should preclude a belief in religion.

Dumbass, no one is keeping you from being an ignorant, bigoted fuck by believing differently from you.

Why is Fischer only being filmed from the waist up?

So you can't see Romney servicing him under the podium.

Mr. Fischer, I have a challenge for you: Find the word "God," "Creator," "Jesus," "Bible," or any word having to do with Christianity in the Constitution and I'll believe you've got a point.

No rush.

Some slime has not evolved at all.

I'm lookin' at you, Fischer.

re: #7 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Blasphemous! There is no god but Jesus!

re: #9 laZardo

Those passages about freedom of religion and no religious test to hold public office only apply to Christians, but those black robed devils in the Judicial branch don't seem to understand that.

We've had presidents that believed in evolution before Bryan. Bryan must be evolved from one of those apes that instead of flinging his shit was instead eating it.

12 Gus  Sat, Oct 8, 2011 11:44:50am

Why? I mean, why are the Republicans even... Oh nevermind. This summit represents the psyche of the Republican Party today.

Was reading some of Fischer's comments on Twitter this morning as they were being live blogged. What a pathetic, paranoid and ignorant little man.

Bryan Fischer, political genius:

Way too soon to write obit for Perry

"He's never going to be as fast on his verbal feet as a Newt Gingrich is, and the American people will not demand that he be."

Romney tells conservative voters that “poisonous language” doesn’t advance their cause

Conservative Voters to Romney: Mormonism is a cult and can't be trusted.

Got to love it.

Clearly Bryan Fischer did in fact evolve from a monkey. Why he even stayed that way.

He may have a point, after Cain gets a thorough examination and found to be unelectable, there may be a gravitation back to Perry.

It's a fairly safe bet that every president from Lincoln to Clinton did in fact believe in evolution. Maybe Fischer thinks the rot started with Lincoln though, and has only been arrested in the last decade.

Now you know why Lincoln was a TYRANT! Lincoln was a Darwinist!

Derp.

At least some of us have evolved from slime and baboons, unlike most people at the Values Voter Summit who never have.

re: #20 jaunte

Yeah, the next debate should be interesting. Will they start whiffing a few softballs Cain's way, so we can get a view of just how much a loon he is? Or continue to treat him as part of the gallery, somebody who's there to occupy a spot and occasionally pipe off about "999"?

re: #17 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds

IMHO-All "electability" roads lead back to Romney, win or lose. If he loses the primary the GOP fails to unseat Obama.

25 Gus  Sat, Oct 8, 2011 11:50:59am

I have an idea. Let's cut to the chase...

And blah, blah, blah. Do these people ever, evolve?

unalienable rights

clearly, the declaration of independence shows us that the separation of aliens and rights is mythical

I remember it being sad that only McCain, Giuliani, and I think Romney in 2008 were the only GOP candidates to say they believed in evolution. Now I can't think of any of them who would say they do. Maybe Hunstman.

Won't fly, Buck/Kluck. That will become an establishment clause issue right away for chaplains in those denominations that do perform them.

We are not descendants of baboons, we share a common ancestor with them. Why does this well founded notion rub these people the wrong way?

And why is it still just fine to embrace policies that are nothing other than Social Darwinism?

Where are the blue suits with the orange nets and extra long sleeve jackets when you need them?

36 theheat  Sat, Oct 8, 2011 12:10:19pm

The sad thing is, so many GOP supporters don't bother to follow what goes on at these ignorant hate soirees. All they hear is "values" and "family" and "heritage" and recognize names of the pols that attend. It wouldn't matter if the speakers were getting blown by prostitutes while reading from the Bible, because the people voting for these fucks simply aren't interested in facts.

They're going to pull the R lever anyway because Fox News has them scared shitless and they are desperate to believe it's all true.

37 OhCrapIHaveACrushOnSarahPalin  Sat, Oct 8, 2011 12:13:04pm

Because. God created His Favorites to be better than everyone else.

So the government is supposed to give them more rights, even while they tax us all. //

This about George Bush:

So lets get this straight Mr. President, you believe evolution is some fiction dreamed up by atheists, in order to make people doubt the existence of your minority-version of God? You further believe that the hypothetical possibility that bird flu will evolve and mutate so that it will be able to be passed between humans is virtually a sure thing - so much so that you devote an inordinate amount of time in a national press conference to the subject?

Apropos of nothing, here's an uncanny thing that just happened: I'm subscribed to this thread, and when I opened up your comment in Gmail, this is the text ad that came up above it:

Want to be CO2 less? - [Link: www.CO2less.org...] - Help us demonstrate that care for the Environment is everyone's Job

How odd is that? I wonder what keywords in your comment brought this up? "facts", "Fox News", "values", "heritage"? Or is the Google algorithm engaged in sophisticated and subtle pro-science pushback? :)

This is so mind-boggling. It is beyond me how the audience, who all get hard-ons over the Constitution can swallow (pun on purpose) the "slime" spewing out of Bryan Fischer's mouth that is so clearly anti separation of church and state. These people, Bryan Fischer especially are living in fantasy land. It's one thing to be a wacko, christian fundy, but another to think that the Constitution doesn't mandate a separation between churches/religions and the state.

Well, separation of church and state isn't implied in the Constitution, according to these wackos. Their notion of "freedom" is similar to the radical Muslim notion of "freedom" - that "TRUE freedom" really means slavery to (our version of) "God".

Catch the comment starting at 49 seconds. Want to talk about dead bodies Bryan? Just how many did your religion rack up over over the last 20 years or so? Ooops, they were not christian, so they don't count I guess.

Asshole.

“not a single one of our unalienable rights will be safe in the hands of a president who believes that we evolved from slime and that we are the descendents of apes and baboons.”

So says the creationist who would deny freedom of religion to Mormons, Muslims, Jews and anyone else who doesn't meet his narrow definition of "traditional christian."
