Social conservative Bryan Fisher told
listeners on Thursday that an online repository of anti-gay rhetoric
proves that gay rights activists are Nazis, media watchdog
RightWingWatch.org
reported.
The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against
Defamation's (GLAAD) Commentator
Accountability Project (CAP) highlights the anti-gay rhetoric of
frequent media commentators.
Fischer, an ardent opponent of gay
rights, is among the 36 conservatives listed on the project, most of
whom are frequent guests on cable and network news programs and are
often quoted in the mainstream media.
“This is like McCarthyism. This is
like a blacklist,” Fischer told listeners of his AFA-sponsored
radio program. “Trying to identify those that they think represent
a danger to their interests, to their agenda, and then to try to
silence them.”
Fischer also defended previous comments
he made comparing gay rights activists to Nazis.
“I said for instance, the homosexual
agenda represents the single greatest modern threat to freedom of
religion and conscious. Absolutely true. I have no apologies for
that.”
“They want to take away our ability
to participate in the public debate over homosexual issues.”
“And they are proving that I am
right. What did the Nazis do? They silenced their opposition.”
