Meanwhile, Bryan Fischer (the most obsessed and hateful religious right caveman of the whole tribe) helpfully explains: “We seek to take America back to the Stone Age.”
Oops. I mean, “back to the book of Genesis.” Imagine hanging out in the Garden of Eden with this head case.

And I say no, we're going way, way, way back further than that; we are going all the way to the dawn of creation. God is the one who created us male and female; God is the one who formed marriage, who created marriage, who designed it to be a union of one man and one woman for life. So we're going way past the 1950s; we're going clear back to the Garden of Eden.

What is the problem? They are easily combined in all sorts of fear generating combinations...
"The end of the free world that will engender 1000 years of darkness and a holocaust amongst God fearing people!"
"1000 years of darkness which will start with the holocaust of the White ruling class and finish with the end of the free world!"
"The student loan holocaust was created by the government loaning young people money to get a higher education. But it was a slippery slope and soon the government was loaning money to people to build private death camps, crematories, and gas chambers. This was the end of the free world era and the beginning of 1000 years of darkness!"

Harvey: 'Seriously Evil' Bill Restricting Ex-Gay Therapy Puts Youth 'At Risk'
Mission America’s Linda Harvey is weighing in on the debate over California’s SB 1172, the legislation detested by anti-gay activists because it will prohibit counselors from engaging in discredited sexual orientation conversion therapy with minors. Harvey said the bill is another move by the “aggressive homosexual lobby” to keep children and teenagers from hearing the truth about sexuality, and she is hoping that more Americans will begin to “see how false and harmful the gay agenda is and it’s our youth who are particularly at risk” before other states consider similar bills. Later, she decried the legislation as “seriously evil” as it could lead gay and lesbian youth “down the road of spiritual, emotional and physical tragedy.”

Police: Angry Ex-Girlfriend Triggered US Airways Bomb Hoax
The ex-girlfriend and a man believed to be a current boyfriend are now in custody, sources said. According to sources, they appear to have perpetrated the hoax bomb threat and are being questioned by federal authorities in Philadelphia. Neither the FBI nor the US Attorney in Philadelphia would comment. No charges have been brought against anyone at this time, sources say.
"This is no joke," Sullivan said. "These will be federal charges...they're going to be very serious charges."
He said authorities did not yet have a motive for the hoax.
"It's just an incredibly foolish and irresponsible thing to do," he added. "And bottom line, it's criminal."

I suspect you're probably correct. They put that in as a dig at Bill and it's completely unrelated to his statement. This is where the fact checking concept gets watered down, when partisans start using it dishonestly as a tool.

Uhh sure, except that None of the flooding occurred within the area of the Federal (Corps. of Engineers) levy system which all worked exactly as it was planned to. The only flooding was in areas outside of the Federal flood protection district that were protected by privately owned and maintained levies. Anyone paying the slightest attention to the national news coverage had already heard that the overtopped levies in Plaquemines Parish were not part of the Federal flood control system and were privately maintained at least a hundred times before Romney asked that idiotic question.

They didn't "Fail," the water just rose higher than the levies and ran over the top of them (hence "overtopped"), an eight foot AMSL levy simply cannot stop a twelve foot AMSL storm surge. Again these were not Federal levies but ones privately built by the property owners and developers with the cooperation of their local Parish council. There is no Federal interest or responsibility here, this is simply the free market at work, it would have cost the property owners more to build a taller levy, so they didn't. Case closed.
