MSNBC's Rachel Maddow (The Rachel Maddow Show; May 7, 2010 Broadcast) gives a synopsis of Family Research Council co-founder and NARTH board member George Alan Rekers decades of anti-gay activism, and goes on to rebuke the Baptist minister for his scapegoating and projecting onto others what he ought to learn to accept in himself.

On her May 7 broadcast, Rachel Maddow revisited the much-publicized story aboutGeorge Alan Rekers, the co-founder of the Family Research Council who has made a living demonizing gay people. As most know, Mr. Rekers himself is now suspected of being gay due to his hiring of a young man from RentBoy.com.

Maddow discusses the scope of Rekers' anti-gay activist work and scholarship, and opines how his actions, as well as many others who use politics to preach their morality, are hypocritical, projecting onto others what cannot be accepted in the self.

OMFG. It finally happened. I agree with Maddow. There is no bus with a clearance low enough for Rekers to be thrown under. There are legitimate issues with the gay agenda. Gays can have issues with the gay agenda. But Reker ruined his family with his delusion and he was pretty militant on moral grounds, not logical grounds. No quarter for flaming hypocrites.

Maddow, Olbermann, and the msnbc crowd love to point fingers and call people racist. I wonder if they live in a black neighborhood or went to black schools? They're working for a white company. Why don't they quit msnbc and go work for a black company? They're hypocrites who call others racist but live in white neighborhoods in a white country, and would never change that. Let's see them go and live in africa. A lot of liberals are like this.
