More from the fuming, delusional hatred department. Noson
Leiter, of the rather unappealingly named Torah Jews for Decency, is apparently
one of the Religious Right’s favorite rabbis, and has appeared at Tea Party
conferences along with luminaries like Rick Scarborough.
Leiter rose to a modicum of fame when he blamed Hurricane Sandy on New York’s marriage equality law. He was, of course, not the only dingbat to do so,
but might have been the only one to point out the appearance of a double rainbow after the storm as evidence that Hurricane
Sandy was a sequel to the Flood (which God, according to the Bible, explicitly promised never to do again).
Leiter had previously worked with Liberty Counsel and New Yorkers for Constitutional Freedoms in an unsuccessful lawsuit to overturn said law. Not everyone was impressed with Leiter’s observations.
Leiter has also asserted that the “end game” of the gay rights
movement is “child molestation.” (No,
he has no decency, which is presumably why he feels the need to put “decency”
in the name of his organization.) “They are
after our kids,” says Leiter; “they
are after the bibles and guns that Americans cling to but they are also after
us and after our kids.” He also warned that gay rights advocates “will not rest until all of their opposition
is totally eliminated,” but fortunately assured us that they will ultimately
lose, because “the Lord will vanquish
evil.” Apparently, this is a recurring theme; also in connection with
blaiming Hurricane Sandy on the gays, Leiter said that the “LGBT radical homosexualist movement”
will increase child abuse by giving molesters a “license to victimize” children and even “a certain degree of diplomatic immunity.”
Here is Leiter in 2013 warning then-Senate candidate Tom Price about the “tremendous medical health impact and
economic impact” of the “homosexual
agenda” and asking him (Price) whether Congress will consider studying the
“fiscal impact” that “promoting such a lifestyle will result in.”
Leiter’s general point was ostensibly (but not really) that any bill involving
social issues should require a study of the “fiscal impact” the legislation would have. Price agreed, of course.
Diagnosis: Hate, hate and more hate, fuelled by fanatic
delusions. Same as always.
Meh.
ReplyDelete^ The point being that Leiter may be an easy target, but without an understanding of the context, you're in over your head. For filler.
ReplyDeleteHow ironic that Leiter seems to be so interested in the welfare of children, yet now he's defending sexual predator and child molester judge Roy Moore.
ReplyDeleteThere's a high degree of child molestation in the Hassidic Jewish community. And now Leiter is defending an obvious pervert like Roy Moore. Hmmm... something is very fishy with this.
Leither is most likely just another self-loathing homosexual who's frustrated because he can't get any guys because nobody is attracted to the Hassidic Jewish look. This could therefore cause someone to then seek out children for sex since they're less likely to reject any advances. I bet if anyone ever looked in Leiter's comptuer that they'd find petabytes of gay child porn on it.
