Bryan Fischer’s Latest Lurid Fantasy: Hillary Clinton Could Be Our First Lesbian President

The GOP is a Terrorist Organization
Wingnuts • Views: 24,273

Bryan Fischer of the hate group American Family Association again inadvertently wears his fantasies on his sleeve when he speculates that Hillary Clinton and Huma Abedin are having a “lesbian affair,” which would explain why neither one of them really give a rip about their respective husbands peccadilloes.

One of many reasons why, other than his monumentally ignorant bigotry, there is a hug ick factor in very mention of the name “Bryan Fischer.”

All coming from the recent revelations of one Gennifer Flowers. Everyone remember her?

Perfectly Believable Gennifer Flowers Says She And Bill Would Be Sweetly Married Today If Not For That Hellbeast Chelsea

And finally, OF COURSE she says that Bill told her that Hillz was bi, and that she was “not surprised” by rumors that Hillary and Huma Abedin were involved, because of course that’s just perfectly obvious:

“I don’t know Huma or the Weiners. I just know what Bill told me and that was that he was aware that Hillary was bisexual and he didn’t care. He should know.

Wonkette was first link I saw in a Google search. I’m not sure of them, but there are other outlets.

From Wikipedia:

During an interview on the Alan Colmes show, Fischer refused to answer when asked if he had ever had gay impulses, instead changing the subject to adultery.[31][32]

Also ironic is the fact that B. Fischer has an undergraduate degree in philosophy from Stanford. He has certainly managed to avoid having a philosophical outlook on life.

Aw, shoot, everyone knows women don’t exist for Fischer.

Of course he didn’t have parents, either. His Wiki page doesn’t mention any, so I suppose that means for his “faithful” that he was not born of a woman, either. He was spawned in space and is a complete alien.

No wonder he has such a twisted view of us.

My pet theory is that B. Fischer is the result of parallel evolution of barely-sentient slime molds that reproduce asexually. That would explain why he has so very many issues with people’s sex lives.

It is true that a lot of the religiously repressed have weird fetishes or voracious sexual appetites (or both). While I may not be one of those free-love advocates, sex is natural and demonizing it has some really messed-up effects on people.

i feel so much better now

In an interview on “Squawk Box,” the founder of hedge fund Duquesne Capital said that the Federal Reserve’s policy of quantitative easing was inflating stocks and other assets held by wealthy investors like himself. But the price of making the rich richer will be paid by future generations.

“This is fantastic for every rich person,” he said Thursday, a day after the Fed’s stunning decision to delay tightening its monetary policy. “This is the biggest redistribution of wealth from the middle class and the poor to the rich ever.”

“Who owns assets—the rich, the billionaires. You think Warren Buffett hates this stuff? You think I hate this stuff? I had a very good day yesterday.”

Druckenmiller, whose net worth is estimated at more than $2 billion, said that the implication of the Fed’s policy is that the rich will spend their wealth and create jobs—essentially betting on “trickle-down economics.”

“I mean, maybe this trickle-down monetary policy that gives money to billionaires and hopefully we go spend it is going to work,” he said. “But it hasn’t worked for five years.”

That’s what I mean though, I get that punishment and shame totally warp a person’s sexuality. Which is all the more reason someone with such issues shouldn’t be running their yaps about anyone else’s sexuality. It perpetuates the shame and continues to hurt people. He has a platform he’s allowed to use to hurt other people, or rather give justification to it. A parent of a gay teen who listens to this horrific crap can use it to justify abuse against their own kid. That’s what’s so insidious. What Fischer needs is therapy, not a radio program.

Pete King Tells Ted Cruz: ‘Stay In The Senate’

In a day marked by the clash between House Republicans and Sen. Ted Cruz over defunding Obamacare, Rep. Pete King (R-NY) had another message for the Texas senator: Mind your own business.

“We as House Republicans should stop letting Ted Cruz set our agenda for us,” King said on CNN. “He should stay in the Senate, keep quiet. If he can deliver on this, fine. If he can’t, he should keep quiet from now on and we shouldn’t listen to him.”

Fox News analyst: Income disparity exists ‘because poor people are gonna eat a bunch of turkey’

Fox News business analyst Charles Payne had even his own colleagues recoiling on Thursday when he blamed financial inequality in the U.S. on poor people celebrating Thanksgiving.

“This Thanksgiving, when you get a chance, after you eat your turkey, go to the mall,” Payne told host Alisyn Camerota, as his fellow panelists responded derisively. “You want to see why the rich get richer? Because poor people are gonna eat a bunch of turkey. Even though they’re stuffed to the gills, they’re gonna run to the mall and spend every nickel they have. I’m being honest with you.”

CNN reported in November 2012 that shoppers spent $59.1 billion over the course of the “Black Friday” weekend, a new record and a 13 percent increase from spending in 2011. Payne then brought up President Barack Obama’s economic policies to expand on his point.

“The president keeps talking about an expanded middle class,” Payne continued. “And then we go after the job creators and we beat them up. It’s not working. It hasn’t worked for five decades.”

Obama has been in office 50 years and gotten all his programs thru Congress?

You probably have to call the number back and wait for the ‘puter to tell you what number to punch for a “do not call” notification.

Although I’ve found that sometimes doesn’t work. Then I just let the damn phone ring (it’s limited to 3 rings).

There is an IT sales company that somehow got my number. They have called me every single work day for 2 and a half years. I figured out who it was by looking up the number on google, and I assumed after I sent them straight to voice mail (which they never leave) about 100 times they would give up. I don’t know how they got my number and I’m not sure which number they are calling because 2 different ones go to my mobile phone.

The idea comes from a GOP Congressman who read a Dept of Agriculture report indicating that there might be up to 10% fraud going on, based on testimony/statements from the Grocery chains, so his brilliant idea is that if we simply cut 10% off of the program then that will eliminate all of the fraud…..

Who the hell is this Jasper? It worked GREAT for 50 years, from 1932 until Reagan. Then we started fellating the rich, and buggering the working folks, and THAT is how we got here. And his solution is to do the same thing, but harder?

This is why it is essential for the GOP to screw up education in this country. The only answer they have to the “Been there, done that, it sucked” response to their policies is revisionist history.

This is a version of the point I make with people who insist Obama is a disaster.

We did it the GOP way from 2001 to 2007. They had all three branches of government.

And they destroyed the fucking place. And their answer on how to fix everything is to say “Our previous choices weren’t conservative enough.”

God help us if these loons ever sweep the board again. We’re really going to be screwed then.

Too true. We really do have a situation where one of the two major parties in the US is ideologically opposed to government itself. Voting GOP at this time is like hiring firebugs to be fire department chiefs.

Bryan Fischer is repeating talking points from the “Arkansas Project” a far-right smear campaign from the 1990s courtesy of Richard Mellon Scaife, WND’s Joseph Farah, and R. Emmitt Tyrell.

The whole bit about Hillary Clinton’s sexuality was part of their grand conspiracy that stated that she murdered Vince Foster after he supposedly was going to go public with a lesbian affair she was having. Never mind the fact that entire story was an outright lie - a story that I wouldn’t doubt for a second that Fischer would repeat if he had the opportunity.

The Obama gloves are off.

Obama asks high court to review contraception mandate ruling

reuters.com

(Reuters) - The Obama administration on Thursday asked the Supreme Court to review the legality of a politically volatile provision of the 2010 federal healthcare law requiring employers to provide health insurance that covers birth control.

“The administration wants the high court to reverse a June decision by the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver favoring arts and crafts retailer Hobby Lobby Stores Inc. That decision said for-profit companies can sometimes assert religious rights if they do not wish to comply with a federal regulation.

(snip)

“The legal question about the so-called “contraception mandate” was not before the court when it upheld the healthcare law, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, in a June 2012 ruling.”

Rs want a real fight? They’ll get one.

God help us if these loons ever sweep the board again. We’re really going to be screwed then.

Not just 2001-2007, but really for the last 32 years. We keep cutting taxes on the rich; we keep encouraging offshoring; we allow public education to languish while making university education unaffordable; we encourage union-busting and discourage organization; we deregulate banking and finance - hell we deregulated Wall Street under CLINTON, and it was BIPARTISAN!

The problem, I think, is that what we had done from 1932 to 1980 worked so well that people forgot why we did all that in the first place. We forgot that without the counterbalance of an organized workforce, companies will pay as little as they can get away with and provide unsafe workplaces; without regulation Wall Street will go through violent boom and bust cycles; without steeply progressive taxation wealth concentrates at the top and stays there.

If a group wants to claim religious exemption for not covering hormonal contraceptives, they should be forced to explain why they should control how an employee spends her compensation, earned by her labor.

It’s not their insurance, it’s the employees’. They pay for it with their labor.

Feeling a little better today and went to re-register my car this morning. Got a front door parking space and was out in 10 minutes. Might have another Ensure later and go to sleep early again. Getting tired of the whole getting high thing too. All of it. It’s just weird having to get buzzed all the time.

Media Library

It creates a slideshow out of the high-res versions of all the images contained in tweets posted anywhere at LGF. There are several hundred images already. It’s pretty awesome to browse through them all.

If you click on the caption below an image, it opens a new window at Twitter with that tweet.

Note that you can pause/play the slideshow with the spacebar, and go back and forth with the arrow keys. And you can click on the thumbnail images at the bottom of the window to go straight to an image.

Basically, that kind of talk makes them sound like conspiracy theorists, whose common refrain is, “If you disagree with me, you are a paid government shill.” When you have something in common with the breathtaking stupidity that is the CT world, YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG!

Hell, you should of been here after the PBO was elected for the first time. Talk about internicine carnage. It was Welcome to The Jungle

I was lurking here before, during and after the carnage.
Took me until this year to finally sign up because the urge to comment became so over-whelming.

From what I’ve read about it here,have to say I’m glad I missed that period.Lively discussion is one thing,all out warfare is best left to the experts.I do think that Charles runs one of the tightest ships around the web,and I like that a lot.

I starting reading LGF regularly around the time of the “Why I parted ways with the Right” post. Took me a long time to hit a registration window. By then, most of the drama had subsided.

I registered and started posting before then. Sadly, some of what I posted was not only accepted, but approved of. Hell one of my posts even made the LGF Watch web page and I was proud of it. Sigh

re: #165 A Mom Anon

Gus, I wish you well in your journey to cleaning up your life. It’s hard, but worth it.It will feel lots better to be in control of things. I was never one for NA or AA meetings, YMMV, but don’t totally rule it out if you need someone to lean on a little. I went through some behavioral therapy(some stuff is available on a sliding scale, depends on where you are and resources) which helped me ALOT.

Wishing you all the best, you can do eeet!!!

Thanks! Actually, the health ramifications kind of have me scared shitless (almost literally — I know, TMI) that not drinking is actually coming easy. So far.

So McCain publishes an op-ed in Pravda, only to have it be the wrong Pravda - and now he says Putin wants to meet with him. I really hope it’s some other Putin who isn’t Russia’s president.

There is no GOP. The current crop of Conservative politicians are cutting edge performance artists who didn’t think shitting on the flag took the message far enough, so they engaged in this new long term piece.

Its really the only logical explanation.

He just got off of an ankle bracelet and jail time…He just has gone down hill now and getting uglier by the day. What do you say to Mamma and pappa at a time like tis?
Last night.. My Nephew got into a fight with a policeman and hurt him pretty bad. ( 6’4” 245 ) He is in jail tonight and the impact of this is overwhelming..I worry for him..He already went through the anger management classes..He has lost his way and few options are available.

Hoops, I hope that this situation turns out as best it can for everyone involved - the officer heals, and your nephew uses it as a wakeup call to turn around and start improving his life.

I don’t think there’s anything you could have done different, or your brother.

I wish I could entertain that hope, but it doesn’t seem realistic. Assaulting and injuring a police officer normally causes the justice system to drop the hammer on the offender. Most likely, the nephew going to get hard time, and the kind of criminal record that makes turning your life around much harder.

Harder, but not impossible. Some people do, even if it seems unlikely.

D_F…It is a downward spiral.. He first went to jail for kicking the holy hell of his wives boyfriend..He was in pain and did some time and we all hoped he’d get over it and grow up..
He hurt a cop really bad and took off and they caught him..There was lots of blood at his house and no one is sure what exactly happened that night.
My God..He was the cutest little blonde boy and grew up so charming and full of love..A big boy that was a natural athlete..
The family loves him like no other..Boundless love..
Where did the anger come from? Another man with his wife or was it much deeper? It’s ugly right now and no I’m not fucking bailing his ass out.

re: #217 A Man for all Seasons

I know you’re in a rough place, there. While it’s hard to let your nephew sweat it out in jail, you’re making a good choice not to bail his ass out. I hate the phrase “tough love,” that it’s what this kid needs. Assaulting a police officer is a big, big mistake, which I hope your nephew now realizes. I hope he finds a good lawyer, or his butt is going to be doing some time, especially with a prior offense.

My two cents. Hang in there.
