Christian Right Calls Al Franken a Liberal Bully for Exposing Their Big Lie

[gridlore]

Remember when Al Franken took apart the testimony of the lying Tom Minnery of Focus on the Family at a DOMA hearing? Minnery claimed that a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services report showed that “children living with their own married biological or adoptive mothers and fathers were generally healthier and happier.” Al Franken (D-MN) set him straight in front of “God and everybody.” Well, it may not surprise you to know that the religious right is unhappy about how that turned out – not that Minnery lied, of course, but that he got exposed as a liar. And since they were unable to really defend him for lying they seem to be embracing a new spin to put on the story that they think will take the focus off Minnery as a lying snake and put it on Al Franken as a mean former comedian. (Apparently it’s not so much a sin to lie as it is a sin to point out that a Christian fundamentalist is a liar. This is your religion, Jesus. You listening?)

Personally, I suspect that he's given up on them. Too many false prophets & what not.

Not that they care, between what they believe & what Jesus taught you could orbit a planet.
