Whatever It Takes

Whatever It Takes

Over the last few months, we’ve brought you news that prominent social conservative Bryan Fischer has blamed gays for the Wikileaks disclosure, told readers that Obama wants to give America back to the Indians, declared that bears are a threat to our Judeo-Christian culture, declared that no new mosques should be built anywhere in America and insisted that Hitler preferred using gay soldiers since they had “no limits.”

And just yesterday, former Gov. Tim Pawlenty (doing everything he can to get right with the right) went on Fischer’s radio show to declare that he’d push to reinstate DADT if he were elected president.

Late Update: Want to know more about Tim Pawlenty? See our new Pawlenty slide show, the first in a series on the probable 2012 presidential candidates.
