Throughout its protracted ratings nosedive, cable news network MSNBC has increasingly pandered to the tiny audience of far-left radicals it has retained. Whether by mocking Christianity, labeling all whites as inherent racists, or championing the homosexual lobby’s cause, this sham of a news organization has a limited bag of ideological tricks.
In a desperate ploy to keep the “Duck Dynasty” controversy alive, political analyst Michael Eric Dyson was able to combine each of these disingenuous tactics to skewer the right.
Appearing with host Joy Reid, the fringe pundit expressed some outrageous views of Christian faith that only prove he has no idea what type of love millions of Americans have for their Savior. Responding to Reid’s leading question regarding the brouhaha over reality star Phil Robertson’s biblical comments on homosexuality, Dyson suggested a man expressing his love for Christ seems gay.
“The same men who will stand up in a church of all men [and say] ‘I put my God Jesus above all women, I love him more than I love her,’” he responded in his disjointed, staccato style. “Hmmm, do you really? That sounds interestingly homoerotic to people who are outside your religious traditions.”

I'm prepared to take some heat on this (since he's mocked so frequently) but at age 78, he sure can still sing! His voice is a bit creaky when he speaks. When he gets behind that piano and belts out a tune, he sounds like he did 45 years ago. Suspend what you may think of him and just give a listen to his piano playing on I've Never Been This Homesick Before.
Which church is that? My church has men, women, and children.
“Loving Jesus Is ‘Interestingly Homoerotic’ “.
REALLY!? If that were true, FAR more lie-berals would be Christian.
Even after I became Catholic I still listened to Jimmy Swaggart and still do. But I am also an orthodox Catholic. I love gospel music and Jimmy Swaggart is about the best singing preacher you’ll ever find.
He calls homosexuality an “acquired perversion”. One of the best descriptions I have ever heard.
What an idiot! Does professing love for your father, grandfather or brother make you a homosexual?
This guy is considered intelligent by the Left. I took his argument down in 1 second flat!
He's also the author of Can You Hear Me Now?: The Inspiration, Wisdom, and Insight of Michael Eric Dyson dedicated to Oprah. Sounds like he's more of a shrewd self-promoter than any kind of deep thinker.
"Child of the Streets" who went to Mitt Romney's prep school on scholarship, dropped out, worked in an auto plant, got his girlfriend pregnant, got married and became a youth minister. Like I said, complicated guy.
Wife #3 who also started out as Minister has connections to Daley and Clinton.
So many of the younger generation have been exposed to nothing but sexual attraction loosely described as love. Makes me sad to think that is all they will ever know.
It wasn’t an argument, it was a deliberate jab to try and get Christians angry. Its obviously laughable nonsense that doesn’t warrant any more of a reply than a laugh or an eye roll.
It now starts in public schools where homosexuality is taught as healthy and normal. Where homosexual “marriage” is taught alongside real marriage as perfectly fine. The communist infiltration of ours schools is where it began.
“Child of the Streets” only in his mind, apparently. Such biographical information as turns up in a quick search says he was born to married, middle-class parents. Went bad in his teens and then turned around and “went good,” if being a successful religious hustler is “good.”
Demons and MSNBC have the same talking points.
The very first time it was a holiday for my work (1994) the Northridge earthquake occurred. I figured He was weighing in on the holiday.
Only a HomoFascist would raise the “Jesus was Gay” card
The GayKK is one of the sickest groups of folks out there.
Martin Luther King was a republican
MLK had nothing but seething hated for Ronald Reagan. MLK marched in Memphis on behalf of government union thugs. MLK's friends were commies. MLK advocated quotas and reparations:
And most devastating (and least stressed of all), "Rev." King was a typical liberal "religious leader" who rejected all the supernatural teachings and events of his religion but used it to push a purely natural, rational, non-Theistically based "morality."
There are orthodox (small "o") chrstians in the King family, but they all insist on pretending that MLK was a good ol' Bible-believin' preacher. They know better and could do more good than anyone else at exposing him, but for whatever reason they refuse to do so, choosing to pretend he was a conservative instead.
While it's true that many Republicans are and have historically been horrible, I must point out that the first NAACP President, Moorfield Storey, was in fact a libertarian Grover Cleveland Democrat who fought jim crow laws with libertarianism rather than with statism.
There are people out there who like to claim that the Republican party was "red from the beginning!" and was made up entirely of proto-Communists and actual Red refugees from Europe. While there were certainly people like this, there were also plenty of moralists and conservatives in the Federalist/Whig tradition as well. The Republican party was founded as a single-issue party, so naturally so long as one opposed the extension of slavery beyond the lines demarcated by the Missouri Compromise one was qualified to be a Republican.
I note with some satisfaction that the Nation, one of the oldest and most radical publications in America, was actually originally founded by Grover Cleveland Democrats and that at least one of the Clevelandites towards the end of his life had become a moral nihilist.
[sarcasm]Oh noes! A "Catholic" who listens to a redneck preacher sing gospel songs! Are you sure you're fully converted? Quick, write "The first eleven chapters of Genesis are nothing but a bunch of didactic fables" a thousand times![/sarcasm]
