Evangelical radio host Bryan Fischer warned his listeners Thursday not to believe the "rumors" swirling around his status with the American Family Association. Then he went ahead and confirmed those rumors: Fischer was no longer serving as a spokesman for the social conservative group.
"I've taken off my hat as spokesman for AFA," Fischer said on his radio program "Focal Point," which streams on AFA's website.
MSNBC's "The Rachel Maddow Show" reported Wednesday night that AFA President Tim Wildmon fired Fischer from his spokesman position because of statements he'd made in the past about homosexuality and the Holocaust. The alleged firing came as AFA and its subsidiary, the American Renewal Project, prepared to host members of the Republican National Committee, reportedly including Chairman Reince Priebus, on a trip to Israel beginning Saturday.
Fischer disputed that report. He explained that he gave up his spokesman duties since they conflicted with his duties as an AFA radio host.

If the AFA tells you to tone it down you've got some serious shit wrong with you.

Here's some Tim: "Our president is promoting the gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, transgendered and queer agenda like there is no tomorrow. God says homosexuality is immoral, unnatural and unhealthy and should be repented of, not embraced and celebrated as a valid 'alternative lifestyle.'
Tim on anti-discrimination laws:This sounds like Stalinist Russia or China under Mao, where those who thought for themselves were forced under government coercion into re-education camps. This is not the America that was given to us by our Founders."
