Christian Hate Group ‘Repent Amarillo’ Terrorizes Texas Town, Harassing Gays, Liberals, And Other ‘Sinners’
An evangelical Christian hate group called “Repent Amarillo” is reportedly terrorizing the town of Amarillo, Texas. Repent fashions itself as a sort of militia and targets a wide range of community members they deem offensive to their theology: gays, liberal Christians, Muslims, environmentalists, breast cancer events that do not highlight abortion, Halloween, “spring break events,” and pornography shops. On its website, Repent has posted a “Warfare Map” of its enemies in town.
Calling Repent an “American Taliban,” blogger Charles Johnson notes that the group’s moniker “Army of God” is a rough translation of “Hezbollah.” Led by a man named David Grisham, a security guard at a nuclear-bomb facility called Pantex, Repent first gained media attention in Texas following a campaign to boycott Houston for electing a gay mayor. The group, which is associated with Raven Ministries, collaborates with other Christian groups as well as forced pregnancy advocacy associations like “Bound 4 Life.”
According to a new exposé by the Texas Observer, Repent set out earlier this year to destroy a discreet club of swingers they discovered in town. On New Years eve, the harassment began, with Repent members, almost exclusively young men, showing up in military fatigues and bullhorns, blaring Christian music at the swingers’ club building. The swingers, made up of “regulars” of middle aged, working class couples, were then stalked at every following visit to the club. Repent not only took video of each member, but obtained the swingers’ license plates and dug through their trash, informing neighbors and coworkers of what was once private. Watch a Texas Observer report:
Repent has struck with some success at many of its enemies within the town. A community theater attempted to open “Bent,” a play about the persecution of homosexuals during Nazi Germany. But the day before opening night, Repent members helped shut down the play by calling in fire marshals to complain about the theater’s permit. Staffers at a nature preserve were featured on local news defending themselves against Repent accusations that their site represents something related to witchcraft.
But grassroots opposition to Repent is also building. A group called “Angel Action” has mobilized against Repent, and blogs and Amarillo-based Facebook groups are springing up to protest Repent’s hate. (HT: LGF)

It simply boggles the mind that you call yourselves a democracy.

And Saudi Arabia. Perfect example of why I would not want to live in a backward, theocratic hellhole like these f***ing idiots want. American fundamentalist Christianity is a plague, and much like Wahhabi Islam is tainting Islam elsewhere, it is having the same impact on Christianity here in the states.

IMHO someone would probably have a higher chance just building a dirty bomb rather than having to go out and infiltrating a government facility to attain a nuclear warhead. But even if you were to get a job as a security guard…I would bet you would require special access to even transport a nuke and I bet there would probably be a certain amount of surveillance and security. It’s theoretically possible but I seriously doubt any normal person who’s working alone could smuggle a nuke away.

I’ve been saying the same thing for years now. Given the escalation of the crazy in this country , I figure it’s only a matter of time before something ugly breaks loose. And just as soon as the goobers find out that Liberals are at least as well armed as they are, they;ll scurry back to their basements and hide.

Like the Lebanese Hezbollah, they are a vicious gang of thugs relying on a flawed interpretation of religion to suit their needs and spread hatred and intolerance with violence and harassment against a civilian populace.
Unlike the Lebanese Hezbollah, they don’t bother countering that with social programs and investment in infrastructure.

Not exactly anything new though. Through out the history of their religion, Christian fundies have always howled for riches, power (or to push their agenda) and the blood of their enemies. And did often torment or kill in cold blood to achieve that goal.
Even worse is the fact that there are some of them who think that they can justify the abuse by saying their version of God (which is pretty much a blood God) said to show the heretics some “genuine True-Christian love”. Or some shit like that.

The difference is that there are a lot of people that want religion to steer clear of politics. There is a significant vocal religious minority that has existed since the SCOTUS ended prayer in the public schools. This group is primarily fundamentalist Christians who would like to think all of the country’s ills are due to the disentangling of religion from politics. The fundamentalist preachers had great influence on many facets of life, particularly in the south. Once the SCOTUS started to enforce the separation of church and state, the preachers lost their influence. Naturally, people who lose power crave to have it back. The abortion decision was the catalyst for these fundamentalists to reorganize. When the Republicans embraced the fundamentalists, these zealots took it as a license to attack anything they disagree with. The majority of Americans prefer keeping religion separate from politics. They do not let their religion dictate their votes.
March 4th, 2010 at 7:58 pmAh, yes. America the beautiful, brought to you by the Republican Party, Christianity and corporate greed.

March 4th, 2010 at 8:19 pmInteresting. One would need to be able to obtain/maintain a TS/SCI clearance (along with a lifestyle polygraph) to work at a “nuclear bomb facility”. Either this information (that he works at such a facility) is not accurate, or someone massively screwed up in giving this guy a clearance. I’ve seen many people with clearances that should not have them, though.
In any case it’s next to impossible (in the US anyway) for one or a few people to “steal” a warhead and plain impossible for them to detonate it. They could build a dirty bomb out of the fissile material, though.

March 4th, 2010 at 8:27 pmIn my experience, it generally does not work that way. The people that *approve* your access to a given resource, be it information, a facility, or physical assets are not the same people that actually issue you a badge, give you a pin, scan your retinas, etc. These are two different functions and this is by design. It’s just not like the movies.

March 4th, 2010 at 8:28 pmLet’s go for a little perspective. The Ft Hood shooter had a bit of a history that should have alerted his bosses that he was unstable.

After how many years, and how many deaths?
The lawsuit was for a specific incident and not for the old history. It will take one incident and if someone sues and wins, they will collect the judgment from everyone involved with the group. The day after the lawsuit is filed the group will splinter because no one wants to lose their assets.

–
And people ask why it matters whether people believe in God. This is why it matters. When they choose to espouse it in a public place or in any form of media (or use God to justify criminality up to and including terrorism even chemical/bio/nuclear terrorism), that is when it causes massive problems. I think IMHO this is the reason why fundies have lost the right to preach to anyone (especially atheists and agnostics) about morality.
To be completely honest, I try to be tolerant of Christianity but the fundies when they pull shit like this make it becomes really difficult to remember that this perversion of the mainstream Christian message is nothing like what the majority of the members of the faith believe, just as the extreme views of Osama Bin Laden or Abu Hamza al-Masri are not the views of every single person who belongs to the Islamic faith.

March 4th, 2010 at 8:39 pmbizarrobrain, you are probably correct. The major problem is that the maniacs have taken the front stage in both American Christianity and Middle Eastern Islam. They are a very small percentage of the believers. And in both cases, the huge majority is not standing up and shutting them down.

bizarrobrain, you are probably correct. The major problem is that the maniacs have taken the front stage in both American Christianity and Middle Eastern Islam. They are a very small percentage of the believers. And in both cases, the huge majority is not standing up and shutting them down.
–
I think that’s the most terrifying thing to me about people committing heinous acts in the name of God, for example: there are the terrorists in both America and the middle-east and there are the idiots in Africa hunting anyone they consider to be a “witch” because they think their God will be pleased if they kill enough of the people that they hate. Meanwhile, mainstream fundamentalists in America massage their “come to me Jesus” erections at the thought of more massacres, more deaths and less human rights.
These messed up people need to have their power trips cut short before they do commit an act of unspeakable terror. And I agree about the majority: the extremist followers of Islam and Christianity didn’t pervert those religions. They exploited the existing perversion. And the “normal” followers were either oppressed before they could say anything about it or they’re just too afraid to say anything about it. I don’t think that will change anytime soon. Seems to be a common thing with organized religion at least historically.

I personally think that if you are going to preach religion, you should have no say in politics, you should be “above” that. If you are going to preach politics you shouldn’t preach religion.
–
There are only three atheists in my family: my grand father (who passed away), myself and my sister. Most of my family is composed of I guess you could call them “secular Christians” who grew tired of the mainstream churches and their habit of closing their minds to any other beliefs and sequestering themselves away from any conflicting ideas while ridiculing others for their ridiculous beliefs and feeling smug and superior for it. They also support the separation of church and state for obvious reasons.
And exactly. Nobody else’s BS should not be able to take precedence over the BS another guy believes. Therefore, no tax money may be used to teach Christianity to children or to promote all religions in public places/politics. If we were to allow this, then tax money must be used to educate these same children about other religions or promote other religions in our political system. Fortunately, our Constitutional framers recognized that slippery slope and the danger that came with mixing religion and politics. And vice-versa like you said.
Sorry it’s a really dumbed down view of separation of church and state.

It’s not a rhetorical question so the rhetorical answer is asymmetrical and, frankly, rude.
Why can’t you answer a simple question?
Freedom is a state of mind as much as it is anything. If you are convinced that freedom is not free, you will never be free and neither will those around you.
You’re anxious about something; that’s pretty obvious. What is it? Who has hurt you? Why do you feel the need to strike out at those around you who mean you no harm? After all, if you weren’t looking for something to hate, you’d have a hard time finding something to hate.

He’s the leader of a group of people, wearing para-militaristic uniforms and clothes who call themselves the Army of God while spreading prejudice and hate speech. That alone certifies him as mentally unstable. Unbalanced.

March 4th, 2010 at 10:12 pmIn late 2001, shortly after the right-wing religious fundamentalist terrorist attacks on 9/11, and shortly after the first lethal anthrax terrorist mailing targeting two Democratic Party U.S. senators and some publications, a self-proclaimed Army of God member escaped from prison in the Mid-West and proceeded to mail-out about 500 non-lethal powder-filled copycat terrorist letters to family planning centers before he was recaptured.
And now some right-wing religious fundamentalist terrorists in Amarillo Texas are terrorizing U.S. citizens…in the name of Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace?
Go figure.
If anything, federal authorities*** should bring the full weight of the law down on these conservative cretins before they end up killing someone, especially checking to see if these people have been mailing anything suspicious.
***I would have said “state authorities” and/or “local authorities” in Texas, but these conservative cretins are no-doubt loyal followers of Gov. Rick Perry and other top Republican officials in Texas, thus are being protected…even though these conservative cretins’ idea of “freedom of speech and assembly” translates into terrorizing other U.S. citizens.
Evil is as evil does. God save us from righteous conservative cretins, but especially of the religious fundamentalist kind. 9/11, the anthrax mailings, and now this crap out of Amarillo (and no doubt many other U.S. communities where right-wing religious fundamentalist terrorists are active).

Because freedom to the freepers is having the right to be shot at or just plain shot by a gun toting whack-job in your place of employment.

Good night my friends. I had enough of the trolls. See you on the morn….

March 4th, 2010 at 10:27 pmProject: Courage and Consequence
On March 3rd, 2010, a coalition of up-and-coming rock bands released an anticipatory sonic recollection of the gross misdeeds attributable to Rove over the past decade, “Courage and Consequence: The Unabridged Audio,” in all of its aggressively righteous indignation.

This was on the Mike Malloy Show, just now. Don’t let the url spook you!
March 4th, 2010 at 10:28 pmThanks, lefty. Because of the time difference I’ll call Pantex, then make my dentist appointment tomorrow. No way should this guy have a security clearance. Aside from being an anti-social cult leader, he sounds like someone who doesn’t have the maturity to maintain the vigilance in the face of boredom that the job require.
It’s bad enough that the Air Force Academy has been overrun by evangelicals, but I think it’s safe to say if any of those officers involved themselves with activity such as this, they’d have their clearances revoked.
March 4th, 2010 at 10:36 pmHouse of Roberts,
Thanks for the link. Good to see someone is finally taking a few shots at “Bush’s brain”.
I still think it’s total BS that Rove named his book Courage and Consequence. Another case of the “republican word redefinition project” showing up again?

March 4th, 2010 at 10:47 pmThose criminals in Amarillo represent the true face of the teabagger movement.
Make no mistake about it – the teabagger movement, for all its screaming and yelling about taxes and spending, is really a whites-only evangelical movement to overturn our government and install a holy roller theocracy.

So these “Dim Bulbs” can’t reason that if this so called “God” made man, then he also made gays, and by that reason they must admit that god is not perfect, and therefore “God” cannot be a “God” at all.
But then again these are the “Dim Bulbs”.
The police need to take action on the rise of these nut cases.
And (most likely) another Beckerhead/Limpballs fan has shot 2 guards at the Pentagon a little bit ago.

From Lewis Black:
The worst thing about Halloween is, of course, candy corn. It’s unbelievable to me. Candy corn is the only candy in the history of America that’s never been advertised. And there’s a reason. All of the candy corn that was ever made was made in 1911. And so, since nobody eats that stuff, every year there’s a ton of it left over. And the candy corn company sends the guys to the villages and they collect out of the dumpsters all the candy corn we’ve thrown away. They wash it!! They wash it!
I’ll never forget the first time my mother gave me candy corn. She said, “Here–Lewis, this is candy corn. It’s corn that tastes like candy’ This tastes like crap! And every year since then, Halloween has returned and I, like an Alzheimer’s patient, find myself in the room, and the room has a big table in it, and on the table is a bowl of candy corn. And I look at it as if I’ve never seen it before. “Candy corn,” I think. “Corn that tastes like candy. I can’t wait.” Son of a b!tch!

TRUE STORY:
It happened that that this individual was male. Somehow, it did not merit a news feed; it certainly was not then, and is not now, relevant to the topic here. So posting that manifestly irrelevant story up in 271 is not only manifestly irrelevant, it is viciously sexist as well.

I recommend to all of you, and particularly those who think “it can’t happen here,” Allan Drury’s excellent six-volume fictional account of how it CAN happen here. Start with “Advise and Consent,” and continue with “A Shade of Difference,” “Capable of Honor” and “Preserve and Protect.” At the end of the fourth book, a situation exactly like Bush v. Gore in 2000 occurs. In the fifth book, “Come Nineveh, Come Tyre,” the right-wing candidate is elected. At the disastrous end of that novel, Drury returns to the pivotal situation and in the final book, “The Promise of Joy” (1975), takes the installation of the left-wing candidate to ITS conclusion. Almost as terrifying, but definitely ending with “the promise of joy.”

I agree with that sentiment. This is why America needs its liberals to keep it good. To keep it doing good like the Marshall plan, the Peace Corps, the GI Bill, rural electrification and STOP doing the evil things we have done like overthrowing the Democracies of Iran, Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, Brazil and Chile, replacing them with dictatorships. Or funding proxy terrorists in Nicaragua. America can use its conservatives, when they regain their sanity to keep us honest and rein in our ideolistic urges that can take us overboard. It NEEDs its liberals to keep our values and keep America true to its soul

Is LEADING this para militaristic “Army of God”? :| What the what??? March 4th, 2010 at 7:29 pm
Notice? What? Oh, that. Pantex. Aw, don’t worry, Thelonius. Pantex isn’t a nuclear bomb facility. It’s the nuclear weapons facility. It’s the final assembly point for every weapon, whether that be a missile warhead, a gravity bomb, whatever, before the weapon is deployed to the military user. It’s also the maintenance and desassembly point for all weapons being returned from the field or being retired. Pantex is, effectively, the hardware interface between the DOE weapons complex and the DOD user community; it’s where weapons get signed out to DOD.
And they’ve got some charismatic crazy on the guard force who’s running a harassment and extortion campaign in Amarillo. Damn. That’s a little more entertainment than I care for.

Well, no, they don’t. Those that work at Pantex need to be fired because we don’t need people who are taking orders from the imaginary playmate anywhere near nuclear weapons. If they’re not working at Pantex, they’re free to risk life and limb harassing their neighbors and friends; that seems to be the Texas way. Lynch mobs and all that, ya know. But they can’t do that and have access to a nuclear weapons facility.

March 5th, 2010 at 1:55 am@ 92. analog kid says: Interesting. One would need to be able to obtain/maintain a TS/SCI clearance (along with a lifestyle polygraph) to work at a “nuclear bomb facility”. Either this information (that he works at such a facility) is not accurate, or someone massively screwed up in giving this guy a clearance. I’ve seen many people with clearances that should not have them, though. In any case it’s next to impossible (in the US anyway) for one or a few people to “steal” a warhead and plain impossible for them to detonate it. They could build a dirty bomb out of the fissile material, though. March 4th, 2010 at 8:20 pm
Pantex isn’t a DOD weapons facility, it’s DOE. DOE’s clearance, at the TS/SCI level is called a “Q” clearance*, and the compartmentalization is referred to by “Sigma” codes, rather than whatever the SCI codes are. Per my note at #378, Pantex has complete assemblies of warheads and gravity bombs, etc, plus assemblies in various states of teardown, cores, pits, etc. Physics package, anyone?
I think that the Q designation stems from the original clearance system used by the AEC, which had as it’s central, fundamental document, the Personal Security Questionaire, or PSQ for short, and then just Q. That came out of the clearance system used for the Manhattan Project and a couple of other high security projects during WW II.

This stuff is extremely disturbing. But the first amendment allows the most of this. The establishment can install a no loitering policy and then prosecute those people who keep coming onto their grounds. Others can strike back and copy down the license plates of these whacked out, so-called christians and stand in front of their church on a Sunday morning with a megaphone and express their opinion as well. Multiple lawsuits over emotional damage to children who may have seen these people in military fatigues and approaching others in a very aggressive fashion can be launched until the other side is completely broke.
I am not a christian. I am a jew, but I grew up in the southern baptist environment. I just cannot imagine any real christian putting up with this stuff.
And take a look at those people. They look like absolute slobs and can barely speak two sentences with correct grammar. These are not people who are going to be breaking any IQ records in the forseeable future. They are, to put it blunt, losers.
March 5th, 2010 at 4:27 amI wish these people would take their cameras to the house of prostitution that Senator David Vitter (R-Diaper boy) visits on a regular basis.
Or how about the airport rest rooms that Senator Larry Craig (R-Wide stance toe tapper) still visits?

March 5th, 2010 at 5:26 amIt’s just conservatism in action.
Conservatism, American style, may be defined as the relentless assault on one’s fellow Americans. The nature of the attack varies, depending on how unstable the conservative is. Sometimes it’s legal, sometimes financial, sometimes violent.
As you well know, the Right in America are profoundly antisocial. They will eventually mount an attack so destructive we will have to put them down. Then we can catch up with the rest of the world.

March 5th, 2010 at 10:21 amWhile the world is advancing in all areas of freedom and technology,these religious warriors are taking their towns and the country backwards with them.
It is shame that they are using photos of the US army to sell their hate.
That’s why the founders of this nation did intentionally exclude religion out of government,laws and intrusion on peoples’ lives.
It is sad that over 200 years later,religion is back to destroy freedoms of people just like it did in Europe before the American revolution.
Church is a tax exempted entity and must not get engaged in or bring hate activities to society, but instead love and harmony..
It is sad that tax dollar is used here to sell hate,warmongering,and also politicking, backed by extremist zealots,who want it their way by crushing others who do not agree with them by force,and by terrorizing them.
That’s not what America and the definition of a society is..this is religious bullying at its best,and this new Nazism disguised as a religion must be stopped.

March 5th, 2010 at 12:36 pm@ 415. wizard2000…
Yeah, there are several large feedlot operations around Amarillo. Makes for an overripe smell. The may be “rendering” plants associated with the slaughterhouse and packing plants that contribute to the “Air of Armillo”.
and @ 416. MapleStreet …, just to add to the overall noxiousness of the Amarillo air, there are oil fields all over that area, so when the wind is blowing the “right” way, there’s the smell of what’s called “producer” gas mixed with the feedlot and rendering plant odor, plus there’s the occasional whiff of burnt oil for the area refineries, and on and on.
Grisham and his “ministry” may not have their very own oil field, but like the fracking Wahabi Saudis, they are in a production region. And he seems to have some of the same bad religious habits as the Wahabis and Salafists. Ya can’t tell the Jeebus fundies from the Mohammaden fundies without a playbill or a program…
March 5th, 2010 at 12:36 pm@ 420… Pardon the frack out of me. That shouldn’t have been “producer” gas, it’s “associated” gas or “solution” gas that is the aromatic around oil production fields.

Well, uh, no. For Raven Ministries, and Phelps congregation, and like-minded fundamentalists, hate is what Christianity is all about, so Christian Hate (group) isn’t at all an oxymoron for them; Christian Love is the oxymoron when speaking of these sorts of sectarians.
It’s only for the mainstream Christians, who generally abjure violence and try to practice the teachings that Christian Hate would be an oxymoron.
That’s whay it’s useful to limit the label of Christian to those who actually try practice the teachings, however imperfectly. I prefer the label Christianist or Christo-Fascist for the Grishams, Phelps, Dobsons, Falwells, Robertsons and other who only pay lip service to the teaching while practicing violence, hate, and picking the pockets of the congregation.

March 6th, 2010 at 12:38 amIn January, Pantex had a security breach where hunters crossed a fence, purportedly accidentally, and got onto Pantex property. With David Grisham was on the job, it’s now safe to assume that Repent Amarillo already has nuclear weapons.

If anyone knows how to contact those who lost their jobs, have them file a complaint with Publicdata.com and perhaps they’ll conduct an investigation. If they lied under the Terms of Service, they might get reported.

Only twisted religious freaks and their goons could believe Jesus would ever endorse this kind of hate and persecution. Oh, and Grisham is also a security guard at a nuclear weapons storage facility? Great. General Ripper meets Randall Flagg. No reason to be concerned about that.

Actually, it’s really not all that bad. Most of the average citizens of Amarillo are freindly and believe in treating others with respect and American values.
