Rick Perry Invites Governors to Join Him at Event Sponsored by Fundamentalist Hate Group

I still don’t think Rick Perry is going to run for president, but this certainly wouldn’t hurt his chances in today’s Christianist GOP

Perry recently invited the nation’s governors to join him at “a day of prayer and fasting on behalf of our troubled nation” on Aug. 6 at Houston’s Reliant Stadium, setting off sirens among those looking for signs that the governor’s got an eye on his right flank. Perry has said he’ll fast the day of the event, called The Response, and has invited attendees to do the same.

And who is behind this book burning revival meeting?

Attention, though, has turned to the event’s sponsor, the American Family Association, a prominent anti-gay group whose president, Tim Wildmon, told the Trib that Jews, Muslims, atheists and all other non-Christians would “go to hell” unless they accepted Jesus Christ as their savior. One of the group’s directors, Bryan Fischer, has also drawn attention for making controversial statements in recent years about Islam, black women and the Holocaust, which he has blamed on gays in the military.

Lovely people.

Former Perry speechwriter Eric Bearse, the event’s spokesman, shot back. “I think there are certain groups with a very secular agenda,” he said, “that spend a lot of time demonizing organizations that have biblical leanings or seek to implement biblical principles.”

People that “seek to implement biblical principles” are otherwise known as “theocrats” and have no business holding elective office in the United States of America. Iran or Pakistan, sure.

I’m guessing Bearse doesn’t see the irony that his ilk is running around screaming about phantom Muslims trying impose Sharia Law while they’re trying to make laws using the Book of Leviticus.
