Bryan Fischer: 'The Left Hates Women'

According to Bryan Fischer of the AFA, it's not conservatives who are disrespecting women -- it's the left. Liberals, says Fischer, are almost always the source of misogyny, hatred, and verbal attacks. They're just like Islamic Radicals, he says, treating women as something less than human.

Fischer, looking down on women

Fischer's idea of respect sure is strange.

In February, he stated that "women are not wired, either by evolution or by God, whoever is responsible for this difference, they are not prepared by DNA and innate personality characteristics to be in [combat]."

Last August, Fischer stated that a woman can only be president only if there aren't any godly men available to do the job.

Just last week, he stated that Sandra Fluke is "sleeping with so many guys she can't keep track," and that the "definition of "slut" is "a promiscuous woman." The left got Rush to apologize for using the dictionary accurately."

In January, responding to a report that 96.6% of all sexual assaults in military are male on female or male on male, Fischer actually said this: "Remove women and gays, problem vanishes."

Also in January, Fischer blamed women, and the feminization of public policy, for the sorry state of affairs in America.

Last April, Fischer said that welfare provides incentive for black women to "rut like rabbits."

This man has zero self-awareness.

WWJD, According to Rush Limbaugh

Yesterday on MSNBC, Lawrence O'Donnell took Rush Limbaugh to task for suggesting on his radio show that Jesus would not be happy with raising taxes on the wealthy, or using any of those funds for social welfare. Good stuff.

The most frequent response to Lawrence's argument (that Jesus commanded that we give up everything and help those less fortunate than ourselves) is that Jesus would have wanted us to be charitable in a more direct and personal manner, rather than having the government act as a middle man. 

Both viewpoints are, of course, speculative at best.  I don't think that Jesus would have imagined in his wildest dreams (and he was God, for Chrissakes) that societies would have grown to resemble anything like we have in developed countries today.  I also don't imagine that Jesus would have known that so many of his followers would be covetous douchebags.
