Tony Perkins-Daily Douche-Bag Award

I’m guessing it wouldn’t be hard to find a reason to just give this award to Tony just about everyday, but it is only fair to spread the love around. Sometimes though, you just have to go with it. So, for blaming the Orlando Massacre on Obama, and Islamic Terrorism, we are proud to announce that today’s Daily Douche-Bag Award goes to Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council (FRC).

Just to be clear, I like to remind folks that the FRC was founded by Perkins and Jame Dobson (Dobson provided most of the seed money), after Perkins illegally used funds from a campaign he managed (he was convicted of this) to buy a mailing list from KKK Grand Wizard, David Duke. In the early days, Perkins was a frequent speaker at meetings of White Supremacist groups. There are pictures with the Confederate Flag right there in the background. And, the SPLC has designated the FRC a Hate Group.

But, on to Perkins latest shenanigans. On Monday, he issued a press release claiming:

Unfortunately, the attacks on U.S. soil have only grown in this administration’s refusal to call them what they are — Islamic terrorism. The gunman, a homegrown extremist who reportedly pledged his allegiance to ISIS before his bloody rampage, left little doubt about his motivation — a motivation the president still refuses to confront.

Of course, we know that to be false. The guy doing the shooting wasn’t even religious enough to know which branch of Islam he was fighting for. He basically pledged allegiance to two diametrically opposed groups, Shi’a Hezbollah and Sunni ISIS. It also turns out he was mostly just a closeted homosexual, exhibiting the worst of the things that manifest themselves when one does that. The only thing different is that he could easily and legally get a high-capacity, rapid-firing military grade gun to go along with his internal rage. Are there radical Islamists who would like to do us harm? Certainly. But this guy wasn’t one of them, so why would the President say he was? Oh right, because Tony needs an enemy, and it’s getting harder to use gay people for that.

Perkins’ press release goes on to claim:

Perhaps the saddest irony of all is that this is a conflict of the president’s own making. By coddling and promoting Islam, the Obama administration has created an environment where people who identify as gay, lesbian, or transgendered are increasingly vulnerable. “If I were a member of the LGBT community,” Leon Wolf wrote on RedState, “I would be watching the Left with an extremely jaundiced eye from this day forward.

Uh yeah, and I’ve got some good solid dry land down in South Florida to sell you too. Democrats and Obama are creating an environment where LGBT people aren’t safe. Oh Tony, Ms Perkins, please see “North Carolina Republican Controlled General Assembly and HB2.” Also be sure to check out the latest hits of Pam “Barbie” Bondi-Trump, and Rick “I don’t Recall” Scott.

So, for his bold lies and misdirection, Tony Perkins is our Douche-Bag of the Day.
