http://www.alternet.org/tea-party-and-right/6-truly-unhinged-right-wing-reactions-jan-brewers-veto-azs-anti-gay-bill1. Tucker Carlson on Fox News. Just before the veto, Carlson opined that Arizona's anti-gay bill promotes "tolerance." Then he argued that it's "fascism" to require individuals and business owners to provide equal service to gay people. "If you try to force me to bake a cake for your gay wedding, that's fascism," Carlson said. Might we suggest another visit to your dictionary, Tucker?
2. Todd Starnes, Fox News "Business" host tweeted, just after the veto: "AZ Gov. Jan Brewer makes Christians in her state second-class citizens." So, to be clear, not being allowed to discriminate legally is the definition of discrimination. Surely, all the Christians will flee Arizona. But where will they go? To the promised, homophobic land?
Bunch of fucking .... no words to describe these peoples insanity!

The scary part is that half of our nation believes them.

(19,569 posts)I'm not so sure they all do. I think some are just pandering to their fan base. It's all about keeping their ratings up and the money flowing in. Feeding the hate does exactly that for these people.
Bachmann and Phillips could possibly buy the whole of it. Which makes them more than just morally lacking, greedy asses out to make a profit no matter who they harm. It makes them ideologues who preach hate and divisiveness to further their societal agenda. Which makes them the really scary ones. The others are scary only because there are bigots out there who feed off their bullshit.

As for Todd & Tucker, fuck them BOTH.

Have the Arizona State Police started forcing businesses to phallic cakes yet? What's their hold up?
