They see him as a "tell it like it is" guy who doesn't try to sugarcoat his opinion. So in a way he's like a fundie Howard Stern.

Quote:American Family Association fires Bryan Fischer
Quote:Fischer has for years promoted as sound truth the conspiracy theory that Hitler surrounded himself with homosexual "soldiers and thugs" due to their extreme brutality.One of the notable things in Bill Shirer's Rise and Fall of the Third Reich is that he constantly notes the rumors that at least some of Hitler's closest associates during his rise were homosexuals who were attracted to young boys. The implications are that (a)this behavior was typical of gays and (b)it shows just how despicable the Nazi party was, that it would consort with such men. Shirer is otherwise a pretty liberal guy, but he reflects the attitudes of the times in that time period.
I wonder if Fischer got his idea about Hitler 'surrounding himself with gays' from Shirer's book.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
