7 Right-Wing Christians Who Got Their Comeuppance in Hilarious Ways

http://www.alternet.org/tea-party-and-right/7-right-wing-christians-who-got-their-comeuppance-hilarious-ways

1. Jonathan Saenz

Jonathan Saenz is best known as the leader of Texas Values, an anti-LGBT advocacy organization in the Lone Star State. In 2011 Saenz was conscripted to head the group when it split from its parent organization, where Saenz was a lobbyist. He quickly mounted campaigns opposing gay marriage and anti-discrimination ordinances and spread invective about gays and lesbians wanting to send Christians to internment camps.

2. Bob McDonnell

A few years ago, then-Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell and his version of “family values” conservatism seemed destined for the GOP presidential nomination.

3. Vance McAllister

McDonnell’s not the only religious right conservative politician who’s in free fall. Representative Vance McAllister, a strident Christian lawmaker from Louisiana, set the land-speed record for earning the label “disgraced” when security footage revealed him locking lips with a staffer who’s not his wife.

4. Eddie Long

Jonathan Saenz’s religious right fervor was metastasized by his divorce, but usually it happens the other way around, as epitomized by Atlanta-area preacher Eddie Long.
