Two longtime, well-funded professional haters attempt to link the horrific beheadings by ISIS to America’s embrace of same-sex marriage, and to President Obama.
In what may be the farthest reach ever attempted by American anti-gay conservatives, two professional anti-gay activists attempt to link the horrific beheadings of two American journalists by ISIS to America’s embrace of same-sex marriage, and to President Barack Obama.
Voice of Christian Youth America’s Vic Eliason and Liberty Counsel’s Mat Staver recorded a conversation for VCY’s “CrossTalk” program.
Right Wing Watch, which published the audio, reports that “Staver made his standard prediction that the legalization of same-sex marriage will pave the way for polygamy. Eliason responded by accusing gay rights advocates of destroying morality and biblical values, leading to a decadent, anything-goes society.”
Staver’s Florida-based Liberty Counsel was recently recognized by the Southern Poverty Law Center as an anti-gay hate group.Â
“People see something they want, they steal it or they kill somebody or behead them. Some of this stuff now that’s going on, the beheading, which has become literally a religious, I don’t know what you’d call it— it becomes a very sacred thing to the Islamics to behead somebody because that is a special right that is deserved by the infidels,†Eliason said.
Which opened the door, apparently, for Staver to slam President Obama.
“Yeah, that’s exactly right. I think what we’re seeing today is a meltdown of morality. That’s what certainly President Obama has been pushing, he is very much pushing a disintegration of Judeo-Christian values not just here in the United States but he’s actively doing that around the country [sic] promoting abortion and same-sex marriage, he’s trying to do that in every way possible across the world.â€
