The ever-diligent Bryan Fischer took to his radio program recently to employ some rock solid logic that if we’re going to do away with the Confederate flag, the rainbow flag also has to go.
Here’s the essential argument: Nazis.
Cuts right to the emotional core, no?

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Nazis had flags, just like gay people. By the oft-overlooked Fischer transitive flag property, gay people are Nazis.
Mind. Blown.
He even coined a new term for the oppressive, bigoted gay community — “the Gay Reich.” Because Nazis. Always with the damn Nazis.
“The rainbow flag represents the gay lobby, it represents Big Gay, it represents what I’m calling for the first time today, I’m introducing a new term: the Gay Reich,” he argued. “They’ve got a flag just like the Nazis had their flag.”

“That flag is a symbol of slavery and oppression and bigotry and prejudice and bias,” Fischer continued. “So if we’re going to go after symbols of oppression, we ought to make the rainbow flag the next target for removal in our culture.”
After the rainbow flag is vanquished, we suspect he’ll set his sights on the real danger threatening society — novelty foam fingers. Because if those aren’t thinly veiled one-fingered heils to the Fuhrer, we don’t know what are.
Here’s one that comes to mind for Fischer:

Whenever they call us “Nazi”s, it just reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where George, after buying a toupee, claims that he would never date a bald woman. Then Elaine yells in his face, “YOU’RE BALD!”, and throws his toupee out the window.
You’re the Nazi, Fischer!
And seriously, what is with the right wing and their failure to understand how a simple comparison or analogy work. When you’re comparing two things, they already have to be alike or similar on SEVERAL key factors. You can’t just say that two unlike things are the same, or compare anything you do like to the Nazis. Just like when they compared themselves to slaves during slavery.
I personally think it’s working to our favor, though. Regular citizens are getting tired of the christian self-victimization martyrdom, and the most privileged, entitled people in America always claiming victimhood if they don’t get their way.

Correction;
*or compare anything you DON’T like to the Nazis*

He’s right. The “gay Reich” has been around for quite a few years. I laugh every time I see them.

@Avery Alvarez: You’re assuming they really care about the logic behind it. It’s all about buzzwords and conditioning. Say “gay” and “Nazis” in the same sentence enough, and eventually people will learn to associate the two, even if they have no idea why.
Same as constantly putting the words “activist” and “judges” together. They’re simply supposed to interpret the law, not have any vested interest in concepts like “tradition” in and of themselves, which is what the anti-gay crowd fails to understand about the upcoming ruling.

@level75RDM: Your comment takes me back to the Bush campaign of 1988 when he and the little fool Dan Quayle squawked “family values” and “crime” always within the first three sentences whenever/wherever they opened their mouths.

“I’m not calling them nazis” — and then goes on to use the terms “Gay Reich” and “Gay Gestapo”

So all these republican governors who want to remove the confederate flag are being told to do so by gay people lol? That I doubt
And Nazis? One ought to look at what it stands for. An illegal rebellion that resulted in one of the largest death tolls of Americans in history. The percentage of Americans killed far exceeds that of WWI and WWII (percentage wise). Anyone who supports that disgusting flag supports mass murder.

@Bob LaBlah: Pretty much. Gay rights opponents don’t have facts to back them up, so they have to rely on buzzwords. They keep on going on about “tradition.” And while “tradition” is certainly a nice word when it comes to talking about preserving cultural heritage, and that marriage is traditionally between a man and a woman, nobody ever stops to ask if “tradition” in and of itself is worthy of protecting. As opposed to something that makes more sense, like keeping the things that aren’t broken and fixing the things that are.
It’s the same thing when we keep hearing these same people harp on and on about “patriotism.” It’s as if they’ve taken ownership of the concept of patriotism, such that they’ve fooled their constituents into believing anybody against them is unpatriotic.

I’d never heard of this idiot, Bryan Fischer, because I haven’t tuned in to anything the nutcase far-right has to say, except for the past year or so. Oh, how I do hope that someone is compiling a volume of all their collective insanity, stupidity, ignorance, bigotry, and general B*ll Sh*t to demonstrate how the Wrong Side of History sounds.
