Media Matters has a disturbing article up about dangerous anti-gay wingnuts from Kansas. Apparently, these gay bashers like to disrupt the funerals of service people that died in Iraq. And, apparently, Sean Hannity wants his listeners to think these homophobes are anti-war leftists:
One of the church’s websites claims that the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the space shuttle Columbia disaster, and the improvised explosive device (IED) attacks on U.S. troops in Iraq are examples of divine retribution visited upon the United States, allegedly as a punishment for the “sin” of homosexuality. A statement on the website reads: “Thank God for IEDs killing American soldiers in strange lands every day. WBC rejoices every time the Lord God in His vengeance kills or maims an American soldier with an Improvised Explosive Device (IED).”
See? Wingnuts. Not left-wing in the slightest. Left-wing loonies blame BUSH for the Columbia disaster. Right-wing loonies blame gays. Really right-loonies thank God for killing and maiming our soldiers. But Hannity pretends not to know the difference:
No, I can’t believe you have to lie and distort the truth for 3-4 hours a day on television and radio and that you actually get rich doing it. If FOX or you radio syndicate had any integrity they would fire you for making flatly misleading distortions like this.
