GOP Confab Ends With Call To Execute Gays Who Don't Repent
These rants about âHarry Potter,â âHow to Train Your Dragonâ and âFrozenâ werenât out of place at a conference led by Kevin Swanson, a Colorado-based pastor who has warned on his radio program that these fictional characters â along with the Girl Scouts, womenâs soccer and day care â are turning kids gays.
What was most remarkable about these polemics against fictional childrenâs book characters is that they came at an event that was also attended by three men vying for the Republican nomination for president, including a sitting governor and a sitting U.S. senator.
When Swanson announced that he was convening a conservative summit in Des Moines, Iowa, called âFreedom 2015: National Religious Liberties Conference,â it was clear that it was designed to get the attention of Republican presidential candidates. Four agreed to participate, but one unnamed candidate later withdrew, reportedly after a wise campaign aide Googled Swanson's name and found his catalogue of crazy statements.
GOP Confab Ends With Call To Execute Gays Who Don't Repent, Send Queen Elsa Back To Hell
A spokesperson for Huckabee, who at the event deflected a question about Swansonâs extremism, told Basu after viewing video of some of Swansonâs remarks that Huckabee âappreciated the opportunityâ to speak at the conference. The Cruz and Jindal campaigns didnât bother to reply at all. (Before the conference, Cruz had been asked about his participation by CNNâs Jake Tapper, but brushed off the question.)
Calls and emails seeking a reaction to Swanson's remarks by spokespeople for Cruz and Jindal (who suspended his campaign Tuesday) went unanswered. Huckabeeâs spokeswoman Alice Stewart asked for documentation and was sent a video link. She responded the next day saying, "Gov. Huckabee appreciated the opportunity to speak with an audience in Iowa about the importance of standing up for our religious liberties."
GOP Candidates Really Don't Want To Talk About 'Kill The Gays' Conference
Kevin Swanson is a fundamentalist Christian, Religious Rightwing nut who also also hosts a radio show called "Generations with Vision." He's a bigoted, homophobic, sexist, Islamophobic, classist grade-A asshole who thinks that gays, like women, should never be seen in the public sphere.Like all other members of the Religious Right, he has a tenuous grasp of American history and foreign affairs and a raging hard-on for "the good ol' days." What sets him apart are his bizarre conspiracy theories involving demons and ridiculous "scapegoats" for current events supposedly caused by divine wrath.
