Gingrich On Prop 8 Protests: "Gay And Secular Fascism ... Prepared To Use Violence"

Media Matters reports on a Fox News discussion between Bil O'Reilly and Newt Gingrich on protests against the California gay marriage ban:

O'REILLY: OK, now, the culture war. I know you've been flying around the country, and you're doing stuff. In the last three or four days, this is really nasty stuff. I mean, you know, hyper -- we're gonna show you some of the video. A woman getting a cross smashed out of her hand. We had a church in Michigan invaded by gay activists. We're gonna show you the video on Monday of that -- we have exclusively. We had a guy in Sacramento fired from his job. We had boycotts called on restaurants.

I mean, it is getting out of control, very few days after the election. How do you assess that?

GINGRICH: Look, I think there is a gay and secular fascism in this country that wants to impose its will on the rest of us, is prepared to use violence, to use harassment. I think it is prepared to use the government if it can get control of it. I think that it is a very dangerous threat to anybody who believes in traditional religion. And I think if you believe in historic Christianity, you have to confront the fact. And, frank -- for that matter, if you believe in the historic version of Islam or the historic version of Judaism, you have to confront the reality that these secular extremists are determined to impose on you acceptance of a series of values that are antithetical, they're the opposite, of what you're taught in Sunday school.

For a dose of reality, here is video of some of the protests:

Dumping your one wife suffering from cancer for another woman - is this protecting the sanctity of marriage?

[iPolitics]

not to mention while she was in the hospital

Couldn't wait until she had the audacity to try to go home.....

What creepy people these religious hate types are. Yuk. If there is a hell, they'll find themselves there for being so hateful.

[Whinger]

Jeez! Do you think they're going to run about in the early hours burning crosses in peoples gardens?

[incontempt]

I should do that because I am being demonized as a secularist!

I get your drift , hope you get mine ;-P

[Neophyte]

Maybe not crosses, but something flaming. I kid...I kid.
