Mitt Romney Praises Anti-Gay Activists In Commencement Speech
By Hunter Walker
In a commencement speech at Liberty University this morning Mitt Romney praised anti-gay pastor Jerry Falwell and the founder of Chick-fil-A, a fast food chain that has donated millions to anti-gay groups. Falwell, who passed away in 2007, was the founder of Liberty University and an outspoken opponent of homosexuality.
“In his 73 years of life, Dr. Falwell left a big mark,” Mr. Romney said today. “The calling Jerry answered was not an easy one. Today we remember him as a courageous and big-hearted minister of the Gospel who never feared an argument, and never hated an adversary. Jerry deserves the tribute he would have treasured most, as a cheerful, confident champion for Christ.”
So, who's the biggest sell-out? Mitt the sycophant -- trolling for the bigot vote, or Liberty University hypocrites -- inviting a polytheist cult member to speak at their commencement and publicly imply that he is a Christian in good standing?
Hard call.
