Romney associates with bigot Fischer

Romney to Share Stage with AFA’s Anti-Indian-Black-Muslim-Gay-Grizzly Bears-Mormons Bryan Fischer

By Gale Courey ToensingOn a recent episode of his television show Focal Point, Fischer said that the First Amendment does not apply to Mormons and that the Church of Latter Day Saints still supports polygamy. But next week, Fischer will be sharing a stage with America’s most famous Mormon, presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, TPM reports in a story headlined “Awkward: Mitt Romney Set to Share Stage with Anti-Mormon Shock Jock.” Despite the “inflammatory, hateful and occasionally just plain bizarre remarks” Fischer has made on his show, Republicans vying for the presidency, including Tim Pawlenty, Mike Huckabee, Haley Barbour, Herman Cain and Newt Gingrich all made appearances on Fischer’s show earlier this year, TPM reports.

Romney will be speaking in Washington on October 8 at this year’s Values Voters Summit, a social conservative conference sponsored by the AFA and other far rightwing organizations, including, FRC Action, American Values, the Heritage Foundation, Family Research Council, Liberty University and the Liberty Council. Fischer will follow him.For more on Bryan Fischer, see 1st Amendment Protects Only Christianity?! and Critics Slam Fischer's "Christianity."
