At FrumForum, Noah Kristula-Green and Tim Mak ask the poignant question: Why is Pawlenty On Stage With These Crazy People?

In an interview with one of the religious right's most deranged and hateful characters (the execrable Bryan Fischer of the viciously homophobic American Family Association), former Gov.
