Hate Groups

“Where does the Supreme Court get off deciding the definition of marriage? Well, it is kind of their job. Look at it this way: Remember a few years ago when Pluto stopped being a regular planet and became a trans-Neptunian dwarf? That happened because astronomy experts decided there should be a change in the definition of ‘planet.’ In the same …

The Family Research Council announced today that they will be giving an award to Kim Davis at the Values Voter Summit.

After meeting with her last week, I can tell you that Kim Davis wasn’t looking for …

“Crush the eggs of the baby serpents before they hatch. The sodomite, the atheist, the fanatic feminist, the Muslim — all such must be deemed as criminals and enemies to civilization, for they war against the Faith, promote death and hate life. They should be told to leave their wicked ways under coercion, and if that does not work, then …

A handful of nutjobs and a flotilla of national media are outside the Rowan County Courthouse this morning to see what Kim Davis will do on her first day at work after spending six days in jail for contempt of court. No sign of the Oath Keepers so far.

KKK-affiliated hate group leader Tony Perkins appeared on Fox News today where he declared that Kim Davis has not imposed her Christian beliefs on anybody. Which is, of course, is a ridiculous lie since deputy clerks in Davis’ office were commanded by her not to issue any licenses regardless of their own religious beliefs. And oh yeah, there’s those pesky …

Hate group leader and alleged kidnapping co-conspirator Mat Staver appeared on C-SPAN this morning to battle Human Rights Campaign legal director Sarah Warbelow about the Kim Davis case. Staver: “Kim Davis is a lovely individual. She has a lot of courage.” Stick around for the callers.

The Liberty Counsel has filed a motion with the Sixth Circuit Court which claims that since the gay couples who sued Kim Davis have now gotten their licenses, her office doesn’t have to issue any more. The Associated Press reports: U.S. District Court Judge David Bunning wrote that his mandate to issue licenses applied to all couples, not only those …

“Ms. Davis was much more faithful to her oath of office, and to the Constitution she vowed to support, than the federal judge who jailed her for contempt, the attorney general of the state who refused to defend Kentucky’s laws, and Justice Anthony Kennedy, who usurped the authority of the states and the more than 50 million voters who had …

Remember a couple of weeks ago when Donald Trump tweeted a reach-around to Tony Perkins, prompting Perkins to tweet back a Jedi mind trick about Trump confirming for the Values Voter Summit? Well, get ready for the Fundies Vs Trump cage match to ramp up even more, because Trump is definitely NOT going to this year’s Duggar Fest. And wow, …

“I am deeply moved by all those who prayed for me. All I can say is that I am amazed and very grateful. I am enjoying spending time with my husband, my family, and my three dogs. I have also been spending time reading boxes of letters expressing support and prayers from people around the country. I haven’t even made …

JMG reader Rick points us to editorial cartoonist Steve Sack, who succinctly tears down the asinine Kim Davis/Rosa Parks comparisons today for the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.

Buzzfeed reporter Davis Mack tweets: “#KimDavis to return to work Monday, lawyers say. Spent today reading fan mail.” In a follow-up tweet, he quotes Davis: “I am heartened that God’s people are not huddled up in a corner, but they are standing strong.” How many of those letters include a check? Below is the full photo. (Tipped by JMG reader …

It’s been two days since NOM launched its Kim Davis Bigotry Reward fund and so far a whopping 24 more people have added to the measly total of $6723. Which is $6723 more than Davis deserves, but is still funny. More importantly, the paltry amount is indicative of the scant support seen for Davis except among the most extremist fundamentalists. …

Minutes after Kim Davis was released from Jesus Jail yesterday, Tony Perkins thrust his new book into her hands for a photo op. Perkins further flogged the book last night in a Fox News appearance to defend Kim Davis. Megyn Kelly: “Franklin Graham calls it [the book] a masterpiece!” At this writing the book has zero reviews on Amazon. That’s …

“I can tell you that Kim Davis isn’t a martyr — she’s a hero. What the Left is almost certainly afraid of is what is coming to pass: courage is breeding courage. And months from now, we may all look back and realize that she was the example that sparked a blaze of resistance across this country. When other people …

“If you are a Christian, if you are a true follower of Jesus Christ…something something something…revolution!”

Talk about empty promises – Mike Huckabee just offered to go to jail in place of Kim Davis, who sobbingly took the stage with her husband Joe Davis to warn the crowd that Jesus is totally being all Judge Judy on them. Mr. Davis prepared for this nationally televised event by sporting a straw hat and overalls from the Hee …

Triumphantly flanked by hate group leader Mat Staver and Mike Huckabee, Kim Davis stopped sobbing long enough to offer the press a smile, nodding “yes” when they asked if her jailing had been worth it. Unsurprisingly the haters are spinning Davis’ release as a victory even though nothing has changed at her office.

Kyle Mantyla has the text at Right Wing Watch: “A clerk provides licenses to do something,” Staver explained. “A license to operate a motor vehicle on the road, a license to build a particular facility or a license to do this or a license to do that or a license to operate a business. So that person is licensing someone …
