Rachel Maddow, MSNBC sued for defamation

You can not sue some one for defamation when they are speaking the truth.

He's right though in that they shouldn't portray him calling for the execution of gays for simply pointing out to them that Muslims call for this. Just answer his points honestly rather than demonizing.

I agree his prayer before the Minnesota State Legislature was alienating, but he didn't even mention homosexuality in the prayer.

Incidentally, he holds a passing resemblance to Chris Hitchens. Interesting.

This is what he said.. from your link...

Muslims are calling for the execution for homosexuals in America, this was just released yesterday and it shows you that they themselves are upholding the laws that are even in the Bible, the Judeo Christian God. They seem to be more moral than even the American Christians do. Because these people are livid about enforcing their laws, they know homosexuality is an abomination. And I continually reach out to the homosexual communities on this radio show, and I warn them, which ones love? Here you have Obama condemning it behind the backs of the homosexuals but to their faces he's promoting it. I say this to my gay friends out there the ones that continuously nitpick everything I say. Hollywood is promoting immorality and the God of the Heavens in Jesus names is warning you to flee from the wrath to come, yet you have Muslims calling for your execution. If America won't enforce the laws, God will raise up a foreign enemy to do just that's what you're seeing in America today. Read Leviticus 26 America.

He's supporting the fact that Muslims Kill Homosexuals. He even says " If America won't enforce the " LAW" then God will raise up a foreign enemy to do just.

His case against Rachel Maddow is dead on arrival, just another Homophobic religious zealot trying to cash in ... How pathetic.

Of course not. He's just praising Muslims for being "more moral" than American Christians for calling for the executions. Additionally, he's simply acknowledging that the same fate for homosexuals is prescribed in the Bible, even though American Christians aren't "moral" enough to follow scripture in this case.

Nah, acknowledging and supporting are not the same thing.

Saying that the Muslims are More "Moral" than the Christians because they are doing it is his way of supporting it. " If Americans won't do it the God will send the Muslims to do it for us" is supporting it.

The worst part is the Delusion he suffers in believing that an invisible man in the sky cares what humans do in the first place.. No different than any other deluded religious zealot.

He believes the Bible is the infallible, literal word of God, and the every word is the truth. So then he believes in the following,

Leviticus 20:13
13 “‘If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.

not to do so then makes his beliefs in his God false.

BTW this is the clip that he is suing

Rachel Maddow, MSNBC sued for defamation

Well, outside of a biased news souce like World Net Daily, the Huffington Post puts a different spin, and more than likely, closer to the truth:

Rachel Maddow Sued By Christian Rocker Bradlee Dean

"Dean charged Maddow with deliberately ignoring a disclaimer that he issued which stressed that he was not calling for gay people to be killed. He said Maddow's airing of his statement caused "serious" harm to him and the ministry he runs.

Actually, Maddow did read the disclaimer--"we have never and will never call for the execution of homosexuals"--just after airing Dean's statement.
Dean also said he is an ally of Michele Bachmann, and accused Maddow and the "left wing media" of using him to harm her presidential prospects. Even though he is filing a multi-million dollar lawsuit, Dean said that "money is not the issue."

MSNBC called the suit "baseless" in a statement.


Nothing to see here.- poet.

Are you kidding me? No group in this country abuses their privileged status more than Christians. Nonchristians are defamed by Christians to a far greater extent than the opposite.

Newsflash- YOU ARE NOT PERSECUTED IN MODERN SOCIETY

Also, you can't be a biblical literalist without thinking that homosexuals should be put to death.

You are a fool if you think that Bradlee Dean is going to win.

Oh Jaysus! Jyoshu!

WorldNetDaily, the source of all chicken droppings.

Only if you're mind is stuck in Old Testament punishment mode. Try graduating to the New Testament / New Covenant and find me a commandment where Jesus says to stone gays? No doubt they need to repent, and no doubt God can take unrepentant sinners off the earth anytime he wants and cast them in Hell, but there's no capital punishment of gays in the New Testament.

Judaism aside, your argument is a Strawman.
