QOTD: Marco the Magnificent
by digby
This is the most level headed guy they’ve got:
“We are at the water’s edge of the argument that mainstream Christian teaching is hate speech because today we’ve reached the point in our society where if you do not support same-sex marriage, you are labeled a homophobe and a hater. So what’s the next step after that? After they’re done going after individuals, the next step is to argue that the teachings of mainstream Christianity, the catechism of the Catholic Church, is hate speech. That’s a real and present danger.”
This is such utter nonsense it’s hard to believe than anyone serious would say such a dumb thing. They used to be the kind of silly thing that came out of the mouths of talk show frothers like Sean Hannity. They’re mainstream talking points in the Republican Party now.
