Fischer Doubles Down On Hate Rhetoric Ahead Of Appearance With Romney | People for the American Way and the New York Times have challenged Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney on his decision to share the stage this weekend with the American Family Association’s resident hate-spewer, Bryan Fischer. Fischer, who has said that the First Amendment does not apply to Mormons (like Romney), commented on the growing controversy by saying that he only speaks “the truth” about groups like the gay community, Muslims, and Mormons. He couched this so-called “truth” in his faulty belief that gays aren’t “animals that are forced by nature to respond to whatever impulses arise,” but sinners who can and should change.
