Inspired by the massive amount of video and other materials we are turning up in examining the extremists with whom Gov. Rick Perry is partnering with in promoting his upcoming “The Response” prayer rally, we decided to put together a little video to highlight just who these people are.
The video consists of the invitation Gov. Perry recorded asking people to attend his rally interspersed with footage of event endorsers, organizers, and sponsors – including Bryan Fischer saying gays should be banned from public office, Cindy Jacobs saying God was going to move unrighteous leaders out of government, Mike Bickle saying Oprah is a forerunner to the Antichrist, Jim Garlow saying the gay rights movement is driven by an “Antichrist spirit,” John Hagee saying God sent Hitler as a hunter to force the Jews to move to Israel, David Barton saying God is not going to tolerate those who don’t vote against issues like gay marriage or abortion, Stephen Broden saying the use of violence must always remain on the table, and finally Fischer again saying liberals hate God:
There were also several other clips that we just couldn’t work into this short video, like Cindy Jacobs saying birds were dying because of the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t tell, Jim Garlow saying African Americans were saving the nation from the “bondage and enslavement” of gay marriage, David Barton saying Jesus opposed the minimum wage, Peter Wagner saying Japan is cursed because the Emperor had sex with a demon spirit, Buddy Smith saying gays are “in the clasp of Satan,” or any of the littany of bigoted statements uttered by Bryan Fischer over the past year.
