"A
gay-rights activist entered the building of our organization, Family
Research Council, where he told our operations manager that he objected
to our politics and opened fire with a handgun. Our political beliefs
reflect our Christian faith.This comes in the context of the Southern
Poverty Law Center designating FRC a 'certified hate group' because of
our biblically-based beliefs regarding marriage and human sexuality. We
encourage love and respect for all people including those seeking to
redefine marriage, and we have made clear we abhor and reject all
violence directed against anyone for their sexual behavior. This war of
words launched by the SPLC as cover for its allied organizations on the
left has led to an open assault upon those with whom they disagree. This
type of demonizing must stop." - Tony Perkins, writing for Fox News.NOTE: As the SPLC has pointed out countless times, "biblically-based beliefs" are NOT among the criteria for being named a hate group. If that were true, there would be thousands of so-named groups, not the mere three dozen that currently hold that distinct dishonor. But don't expect Fox News or the mainstream media to call Tony Perkins a liar to his face.
