Christian Conservative Hate Group causes cancellation of Tea Party Rally

[NYcarbineer]

I wasn't aware anyone had proved the tea party was promoting racism or homophobia.

masresistance is against marriage equality and all gay rights related issues. This is why they were disinvited from the Tea Party rally.

There has certainly been plenty of flap over some racist signs at Tea Party rallies. Where have you been?

I thought the event was canceled. I thought other speakers pulled out because Camenker of MassResistance was speaking.

I don't think they simply asked Camenker not to speak.

Immie

You are right. Several speakers decided not to attend because the anti-gay bigot was going to be there,

so instead of ditching the bigot they ditched the event.

The Tea Party, to their credit, may be trying to focus on their real agenda and not get side tracked into wedge issues.

Lexington — Organizers have canceled a Tea Party rally scheduled for the Lexington Battle Green on Sunday, according to event organizer Jesse Segovia, chairman of the Lexington Republican Committee.

Plans for the event began to unravel Thursday when Eric Dahlberg, a Republican candidate for state Senate from the 3rd Middlesex District, withdrew after learning that Brian Camenker, president of MassResistance, was also scheduled to speak.

“Some consider MassResistance a hate group,” Dahlberg said. “I don’t want to be within a mile of an event that gives someone like that a

I'll make a post about the topic once I know what is going on.

Yet no one ever complains at racist comments by Liberals or unacceptable behvior by liberals and democrats, I wonder why that is? By the way? Isn't the usual defense from the Liberals when ever actually bitched at for poor behavior that a few bad apples do not apply to the whole group?

You just reminded me of the rally I went to in Boston last year. I saw a guy with an anti-abortion sign and me and my friend got into an argument with him over it. We tried to tell him its not an abortion rally but a small govt/fiscally responsible govt type of rally and that their sign was not what we were there for.

The guy got real upset telling me he has the right to put up anything I want and even called me (yeah me) a liberal plant . I told him I was there for what the tea party was there for which was what i just said above.....anyway you just reminded me of that and im in a sharing mood

Read their website. They are fixated on gays. They seem like a hate group to me. SPLC has nationally recognized them as such.

Yeah im looking at it their agenda is definatly anti-gay marriage and basically anti-anything related to special recogintion based on sexual prefrence be it gay or straight.

I live in this state and I've never heard of them before. Considering I dont mind if gay people get married they probably wouldn't like me

The Tea Party, to their credit, may be trying to focus on their real agenda and not get side tracked into wedge issues.

Yet the success of the contemporary Republican Party can be attributed to wedge issues - abortion, gays and guns.

Which is why if the Tea Party is wising up they may succeed in sterring the GOP back to real conservative issues.

 

[teapartysamurai]

Yeah it's "hate" now to fight gay marriage and the gay agenda.

Figures. Anytime liberals call it a "hate" group, what they mean is a group that fights liberalism in all it's attempts to destroy the family.

Typical.

 

[Sky Dancer]

Hate groups do bizarre things. massresistance turned up at a transgendered conference to film people going in and out of the bathroom.

Strange behavior.

Is that normal protest against marriage equality behavior?



The Southern Poverty Law Center named MassResistance among "anti-gay" groups on its list of "Active U.S. Hate Groups in 2008." The SPLC continued: "Anti-gay groups are organizations that go beyond mere disagreement with homosexuality by subjecting gays and lesbians to campaigns of personal vilification." Even conservative commentator Dean Barnett has stated that the organization "verges on being a hate group."

Yes it is....just like you would call it "hate" if a group was fighting to keep you from having the right to marry or have equal rights.

I get so tired of being labeled as a liberal for not approving of the current crop of Republicans, Rush Limbaugh, the Tea Party, neo-conservatives, racists, homophobes, social conservatives, Fox 'News' and all the hypocrites, RW liars and posters of idiotgrams I've neglected to mention.

You're labeled as liberal because you active promote liberal/progressive policies. Not because you opposite conservatives.

Forgive me, I forget some here don't understand that 'liberal' is now a pejorative for everything wrong with society. The terms "Liberal and 'liberal' have different definitions depending on context.
I am liberal or progressive or forward looking on many issues, but that does not make me ignorant, stupid, a communist, socialist, marxist or un-American, all meanings attached to the word 'liberal' by those on the RW.
I have opinions which are clearly conservative, but not in the sense I understand the meaning of conservative today. Today's 'conservatives' have morphed into a force motivated by the selfish disregard for their fellow human beings, and the plants and animals which share the earth us.
In fact, the term which best suits them today is not conservative, it is reactionary. A radical believe in tradition, a rejection of science which fits not their opinions, and fear of change.

Strange, I thought "conservative" was the pejorative for everything wrong with society. Just ask many on the left and they will confirm that.

In fact, based upon the above quote, it seems that you agree with me about conservatism being the pejorative for everything wrong with society.

And no, being liberal or progressive does not make you ignorant, stupid, a communist, socialist, marxist or un-American. There are some liberals who fit that, just as there are some conservatives who fit it pretty well too.

Which is why if the Tea Party is wising up they may succeed in sterring the GOP back to real conservative issues.

Let me posit this: The TP doesn't exist; it is a collection of people motivated by anger (emotion). No platform, plan or list of priorites has been offered, primarily because there is no defined leadership. Several groups or individuals seek to lead this movement, but for it to coalesce a real leader must emerge.
Simply being against someone or something may lead to a populist revolution, but such a movement offers little in terms of long term solutions to long standing problems.

massresistance advocates hostility toward GLTBQ people. That constitutes a hate group by defintion.
