Haywood Bynum III seems to have a lot of good people
confused. I am almost completely sure
it is satire, but there are people who would in all seriousness make the kinds of claims Bynum makes about
homosexuality or evolution,
and he’s managed to fool a lot of otherwise good people.
His
namesake, Pierre Bynum, is not funny at all,
however, and is definitely not satire – even if his views are interestingly
similar to those satirically promoted by Haywood. Pierre Bynum is prayer director at the hate group the Family Research Council,
no less. As such, Bynum spends his time on activities like calling on the FRC members
and sympathizers to pray for God to stop LGBT Pride Month,
i.e. to “stop the advance of this official celebration of sin,” and to pray
against “homosexual tyranny” (yeah, another one). Says Bynum: “Only heaven knows exactly how this brazen
departure from the moral law of God will impact our nation,” which is, you
know, an abysmally stupid thing to say. He has also called on God to “intervene”
to stop marriage equality in Washington,
which, if you think about it, is a rather strange thing to do: If he genuinely
believed that God hates gays, and that he himself was opposed to gay marriage
because he was just committed to following God’s rules, you’d think that he
would pray for God not to do something stupid even if Washington adopted gay
marriage. What he actually does,
however, suggests that Bynum sort of knows that he is the one who hates gays and just hopes that God will take his
side on the matter.
Bynum, a
close ally of none other than Cindy Jacobs,
is also a staunch dominionist,
and a firm supporter of instituting a blatantly unconstitutional religious test
for office.
That, in Bynum’s mind, would have stopped Obama. According to Bynum “Obama loves to spit in the face of scripture,” and his support for gay marriage
is proof that “the spirit of the Antichrist” is behind President Obama’s
“deep-seated hatred of God, the Holy Bible and the Christian faith.”
Diagnosis:
Complete and utter madman with no redeeming qualities. Dangerous.
When you get around to the D's, you simply have to do John Derbyshire. He's had it coming for a long time.
ReplyDeleteFor the C's
ReplyDeletePat Caddell (former Democratic polster turned wingnut bloviator on Fox News and Breitbart)
Thomas Clough (wingnut founder of WeirdRepublic, homophobic, racist, misogynistic, full of conspiracy theories, also writes for David Duke)
Ben Carson (wasn't well known the last time the blog was listing the c names; since then, however, he's been a very active participant in the crazy caucus, saying that ObamaCare was the worst thing to happen since slavery, among other things)
Ward Churchhill (this guy believes that the 9/11 attacks were justified, nothing else needs to be said)
Rafael Cruz (father of Ted Cruz; sees the commies everywhere, thinks that gays rights will lead to Christian persecution, that teen pregnancy is caused by the lack of Bibles in public schools, that Michelle Obama practices witchcraft, and is a Gary DeMar-David Barton style dominionist all around)
Barbara Cargill (chairman of the Texas Board of Education, is concerned about "pro-Islam bias" in textbooks (wrap your head around that one), is also a creationist and an ally of David Barton)
Gerald Celente (perpetual predictor of economic apocalypses, conspiracy nut)
Mark Cahill (I don't know how to describe this guy...his RationalWiki article will give you ample evidence for his candidacy)
Rafael Cruz is a good idea. I sort of don't want to do Ted Cruz (who seems mostly to be faking stupidity for political purposes), but I can do his father and, that way, do Ted Cruz indirectly. I think I've already covered Cargill and Celente, though. (Gotta check).
