“This has moved from cultural terrorism to corporate terrorism. That’s what this is. Now, back in the 80’s and early 90’s I worked with the state department in anti-terrorism and we trained about fifty different countries in defending against terrorism, and it’s, at it’s base, what terrorism is, it’s a strike against the general populace simply to spread fear and intimidation so that they can disrupt and destabilize the system of government. That’s what the homosexuals are doing here to the legal system.” – Family Research Council President Ms.Tony Perkins, on King & Spalding’s DOMA withdrawal.
What a drama queen! And totally hypocritical from a the Religious Right which has a long and dark history of “terrorism”

And this is just a very small portion of the religious rights “terrorism” which they seem to so quickly forget.
And speaking of forgetting Tony. Since you brought up the 90’s how about finally explaining your connection to David Duke and the KKK?
