Bryan Fischer Says Charlie Hebdo Attack Was Divine Punishment For Blasphemy: VIDEO
Bryan Fischer Says Charlie Hebdo Attack Was Divine Punishment For Blasphemy: VIDEO
It would seem that AFA’s Bryan Fisher is throwing his lot in with Bill Donohue in making hateful remarks about the victims of the Charlie Hebdo massacre and blaming them for their own murders.
In a video posted online, Fischer says:
This magazine, Charlie Hebdo, made a career out of taking the name of god – the god of the Bible, the father of the lord Jesus – they made a career, they made their bones out of taking his name in vain. […] Now, you know, you look at the Old Testament, at what happened to Judah, and god used a pagan nation. I mean, he used idolators, he used the savage armies of Babylon to discipline his own people. He brought them in as the rod of his wrath to discipline the nation Judah. They even got carted off to Babylon as a part of this punishment.
Bryan Fischer’s view of religion and deities is truly demented, and utterly as vile as any Islamic extremist. One wonders if Hugh Hewitt would give the American Family Association talking head as thorough a lambasting and ridiculing as he did the Catholic League.
In the meantime, if you think you can stomach it you can watch the video, AFTER THE JUMP…

DVD: “Gone Girl,” “Love Is Strange,” “Two Mothers,” & More!
A couple of Oscar contenders head up the home entertainment line-up this week, including the deliciously wicked Gone Girl (above) and heartfelt gay romance Love Is Strange. Let’s add a German lesbian film, Two Mothers, for good measure, shall we?
Scroll down for the deets!
($39.99 Blu-ray, $29.99 DVD; 20th Century Fox)
David Fincher’s adaptation of Gillian Flynn’s twisty bestseller is deliciously entertaining with Ben Affleck as a guy under suspicion for mudering wife Rosamund Pike. Lots of fantastic supporting turns, including Neil Patrick Harris as a Norman Bates-y stalker ex and Missi Pyle as a Nancy Grace-esque TV personality, contribute to the fun. Extras include a commentary.
($34.99 Blu-ray, $30.99 DVD; Sony)
John Lithgow and Alfred Molina will move you to laughter and tears in director Ira Sachs’ latest feature, about a longtime gay Manhattan couple forced to live apart when their finances collapse. Hopefully it will receive a couple of Oscar nods — it’s certainly received a lot of awards buzz since its Sundance premiere last January. Extras include a making-of, L.A. Film Festival Q&A session and commentary.
($24.99; TLA)
A married lesbian couple in Germany, Katja and Isabella, discover that the road to having a child together is a bumpier one than expected: the fertility clinic route doesn’t work out due to legal inequities when it comes to gay couples despite their legal bond, and the process of finding a do-it-at-home donor isn’t so easy. Will the cost of this pursuit include their relationship?
