The Fine Art Of Inflaming Violent Passions Toward Homosexuals

Via Pam’s House Blend…and as of now racing across the net like a fire.  West Virginia Christianists are gearing up for a push to enact an anti same-sex marriage amendment in their state.  As always, it isn’t enough to simply make a case for heterosexual supremacy.  They have to demonize gay people too.  Their latest ad starts out with the image of a gay sniper putting a heterosexual family, and more specifically their little children, in the cross hairs.  They are being targeted, to be gunned down, by some the homosexuals.  Here’s a screen shot:

 

Bear in mind that this ad is running in a state that’s maybe only a tad less armed to the teeth then Texas.  And the message of this particular sequence is crystal clear: The homosexuals are going to kill your family, starting with your children.  Of course they’ll insist its only a metaphor.  They don’t mean that homosexuals are Literally going to kill your family.  Naturally all the West Virginians who see this ad will understand that.

This is what gets gay people killed in this country every year.  And make no mistake, the people creating and the people running these ads are well aware of that fact.  But we are not so much human beings as cockroaches to them.  They want us gone.  They want us eliminated.  If the state won’t do what Leviticus commands, then maybe Bubba will…

The video is below. The sniper shot comes in at about .53 seconds. Then it’s another four minutes plus warning everyone about the threat the homosexuals pose to families and children. In 1977 Jerry Falwell stood beside Anita Bryant, who was then fighting to have Dade County’s anti-discrimination ordinance repealed by popular vote, and told a room full of reporters that “A homosexual will kill you as soon as look at you.” Now they are, almost literally, telling people in West Virginia that we do in fact intend to kill them, and kill their children. Gay people are going to die because of this ad.

Pam over at the Blend notes this same group who made the ad…Campaign Secrets…also created an attack ad against the AARP back in 2005. AARP’s crime back then was opposing Bush’s plan to let the stock market play with your social security pension money. To discredit AARP, Campaign Secrets cooked up this little gem:

Dig it. The AARP is wrong about social security, because it hates our men in uniform and loves faggots. That, literally, was the message.

    This is so typical of the behavior of the militant, anti American, Christian fundamentalists.
