Mrs. Mamalogues falsely claims "religion is under attack", still lying about FRC's ties to Uganda's "Kill The Gays" Bill

Add this to the list of lies that Mrs. Mamalogues spews out daily. She is falsely claiming that "our religious freedoms are under attack" baloney that Conservative Christians spew out.

Big Government:


Now various reports state that the suspect, 28 year-old Floyd Corkins II, shouted disagreements with FRC's Christian stance on same sex marriage before opening fire. He reportedly carried with him a Chick-Fil-A bag and other restaurant paraphernalia, and posed as an intern to gain access to the FRC.
The AP reported that Corkins was a volunteer at a LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered) center:
David Mariner is executive director of The DC Center for the LGBT Community. He says Corkins had been volunteering at the center for about the past 6 months. Mariner describes Corkins as “kind, gentle and unassuming.”
The reports of Corkins shouting disagreement with FRC before opening fire explains why authorities felt the need to assemble a joint task force and bring in the FBI to investigate. By progressive definitions, you could argue it was a "hate crime."
It's easy to brush aside this incident as one act of a crazy man until you consider the past two weeks. The Family Research Council is affiliated with Chick-Fil-A. Chick-Fil-A came under fire due to the free speech of CEO Dan Cathy by militant anti-Christian and anti-free speech activists. They further attacked Chick-Fil-A, accusing them of supporting Ugandan gay-killing via a resolution they claimed the FRC had lobbied to kill. 

Their claims were wholly inaccurate and debunked here. The FRC lobbied to change the language of the resolution, they did not oppose the resolution. Anti-Christian activists, under the guise of gay rights, ignored the truth and concocted a smear claiming that FRC lobbied to support the death of gays in Uganda. (It's ironic, considering the majority of these same anti-Christian activists voted for the administration who endorsed a group, the Muslim Brotherhood, which does rule that gays are to be killed via capital punishment simply for being gay.)   
Religion is under attack in the United States, but until now, it wasn't meant literally.

 Excuse me, Dana!? The FRC DID support Uganda's "Kill The Gays" Bill, and you are still lying about it. And critics of the Family Research Council are not "Anti-Christian." Also, I'm sure religion is NOT "under attack" in the US, unless you're a brainwashed religious right kool-aid drinker who believes whatever their favorite hosts and preachers spout off as the gospel truth.



The real facts about Loesch's hateful deceptions about Uganda's asinine bill, from JoeMyGod.blogspot.com:

FACT CHECK: The FRC lobbied to change the language of the Uganda resolution because (according to them) denouncing the executions of homosexuals constituted "pro-homosexual promotion" because of a clause associating "human rights" with "gay rights." Those are the FRC's exact words, which are available for public viewing on their federally-filed lobbying disclosure form. They didn't have to explicitly oppose the bill because they knew that their objection to its wording would be enough to kill it thanks to FRC-friendly GOP House members who then voted to "refer it back to committee," where it has languished for the past two years. However you want to spin it, the actions of FRC lobbyists did indisputably prevent the House from condemning Uganda's still-pending "kill the gays" bill.

I'd like to know why vehemently anti-LGBTQ homophobe Dana Loesch is allowed to be at Homocon 2012, hosted by GOProud?

Chick-Fil-A shill Dana Loesch falsely declares they didn't support Uganda's "Kill The Gays" Bill

In her Big Journalism blog, far-right homophobe Dana Loesch downplayed Chick-Fil-A's anti-LGBTQ policies and their support for Uganda's "Kill The Gays" bill.


Big Journalism:

Due to a lack of reading comprehension and desire to deal in truth, progressive websites have for days peddled the lie that Chick-Fil-A supported the Family Research Council's support of legislation which OK'd gay-killing in Uganda. A lie that took all of two seconds to debunk.


Of course, Loesch is lying to her readers, and she knows full well that they did support the "Kill The Gays Bill." Here's the REAL facts from The New Civil Rights Movement.

The New Civil Rights Movement::


Are Chick-Fil-A‘s profits supporting the infamous Uganda “Kill The Gays” bill? How many degrees of separation does it take before you get to wash your hands of slime?
Every year, millions of dollars from Chick-Fil-A’s corporate profits are donated to Chick-Fil-A’s wholly-owned non-profit “charity,” the Winshape Foundation. In turn, Winshape donates millions to anti-gay organizations, many of which spend most or all their focus on defeating or repealing same-sex marriage, trying to “pray away the gay,” spreading lies and hate about the LGBT community, and more.
Winshape annually donates to Family Research Council.
In 2010, as Scott Wooledge notes in this excellent graphic above, and details in his post at Daily Kosthe Family Research Council, a certified anti-gay hate group run by Tony Perkinsspent $25,000 lobbying Congress to NOT condemn Uganda’s “Kill The Gays” bill.

Dana Loesch's week of rampant lies

Last week, prominent far-right fringe voice Dana Loesch has been in a heap of lies, ranging from her rampant Islamophobia by the demonization of Huma Abedin to declaring a CONSERVATIVE Christian caller who criticized Chick-Fil-A's anti-LGBTQ polices a "phony Christian." Also, on ABC's This Week, Loesch lied her ass off to the American people.

Notorious Islamophobic far-right radio host Dana Loesch is stepping up to the plate to make Pamela Geller, Brigitte Gabriel, Frank Gaffney, and the Islamophobia Lobby happy by demonizing Huma Abedin, a Deputy Chief of Staff and aide to Secretary of State (and possible 2016 Presidential contender) Hillary Clinton.   
At least two prominent CNN personalities (Wolf Blitzer and Anderson Cooper) have grilled Michele Bachmann's baseless conspiracy theory of tying AbedinKeith EllisonGrover Norquist, and other Muslims to the Muslim Brotherhood. 
Nevertheless, TeaNN contributor Loesch repeated the false claim by Bachmann without challenge  on her radio show.


From the 07.19.2012 edition of KFTK's The Dana Show:



Next up, at last Thursday's FreePAC, with Glenn Beck and a few other prominent Conservatives, she stated that "the media is supposed to be our watchdog, not Obama's lap dog."



Guess what, Dana, the mainstream media is the lap dog of the 1% corporatists and NOT Obama or the Democrats.

Next up is Loesch's berating of a Christian conservative caller who opposed Chick-Fil-A's anti-LGBTQ policies on The Dana Show.
From the 07.24.2012 edition of KFTK's The Dana Show:


And lastly, she went on ABC's This Week to tell more grade-A lies to the national viewing audience.
From the 07.29.2012 edition of ABC's This Week:



ABC again invited CNN contributor and conservative pundit Dana Loesch to be part of its This Week roundtable, even though she has promoted a conspiracy theory that her CNN co-workers described as "McCarthy-like."
On her radio show earlier this week, Loesch promoted the fringe idea that Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin "is essentially a member of the female version of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Muslim Sisterhood." The comment was the subject of a letter circulated by Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) attacking Abedin. 
Similarly, Loesch attacked a caller to her show this week who said she opposed Chick-Fil-A management's stance against gay marriage, telling her that "I know you hate Christ." Loesch claimed that as a supporter of marriage equality, the woman could not be a Christian. Polls over the last decades have shown declining opposition to same-sex marriage among evangelicals, and among Americans in general. 
But Loesch nevertheless repeated the claim on This Week, saying, "obviously the CEO is a Christian, people are shocked that he's for traditional marriage? It just doesn't make sense to me."


She also repeated Fixed Noise's false claim that "Obama is harming small businesses."
