Let me begin by saying that this in no way refers to authentic Christians, those that believe in peace, coexistence, and love. They follow the real, historical Jesus. Supply-side Jesus’ followers are the extreme Republican religious right. His gospel is one of hate, bigotry, and greed. They needed to create him to justify their own. Because of them, a gay rights activist in Uganda has been murdered.
Kampala – An unknown assailant has beaten to death a leading Ugandan gay rights activist whose identity was revealed in a tabloid that called for homosexuals to be killed, Human Rights Watch said Thursday.
Witnesses cited by the rights group said the assailant forced his way into the home of David Kato near capital Kampala on Wednesday and hit him twice in the head. Kato died on the way to hospital.
‘David Kato’s death is a tragic loss to the human rights community,’ said Maria Burnett, senior Africa researcher at HRW.
Kato was one of several activists who sued Uganda’s Rolling Stone, which in October published photographs and personal details of homosexuals alongside a headline proclaiming: ‘Hang Them: They are after our kids!!‘… [emphasis added]

Now what does this have to do with Supply-side Jesus and the US Theocons? The family, owners of C Street, the organization that houses mostly Republican extremists in return for influence and helps them hide their own scandals are the people behind the “kill the gays” movement in Uganda. Here’s an article from last November.
The Christian mafia is advocating the death penalty for homosexuals in Uganda. The Family at C Street, aka the Christian mafia, is backing proposed anti-gay legislation in Uganda that will sentence homosexuals to death.
The Family at C Street is actively supporting the Ugandan leaders who are championing this draconian legislation, legislation that would institute the death penalty for homosexuality.
C Street has been a Christian fundamentalist frat house for US congressman and senators. The house, sometimes referred to as the "C Street Complex", is home base for the Family.
Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, and David Bahati, a key Ugandan lawmaker, are both active members of the Family, and the major force behind the legislation. Indeed, they represent the Family in Uganda. Bahati organizes the Family’s Ugandan National Prayer Breakfast and oversees an African student leadership program designed to create future leaders for Africa, into which the Family has poured millions of dollars.
The Family is a secretive international Christian cult that preaches a doctrine known as the "Seven Mountains Mandate" in which believers seek to gain world control, by gaining influence over seven key sectors of society: religion, government, media, education, arts and entertainment, family, and business. The group is quite sexist, believing in a strong patriarchy, and obviously radical in their homophobia. Members take an oath and are sworn to secrecy… [emphasis added]

The hatred stirred up against Ugandan gay men, financed by US pseudo-Christians, is why this good man was murdered, proving that in Uganda, just like in America, words have consequences. US Republicans welcome the family’s participation in their party.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
These Talibangelical christianists have their tentacles everywhere. Lest we forget, it was Inaugural Invocation speaker Rick Warren who refused to condemn the Uganda bill that proposed killing gays by saying, “It is not my personal calling as a pastor in America to comment or interfere in the political process of other nations.”
As sources who relentlessly follow the evil-doings of The Family at “C Street House” you can’t go wrong with the Box Turtle Bulletin and Jeff Sharlet.
Thanks Nameless. I knew about Jeff. The vid at BTB has been run here too.
My deepest condolances to Kato’s loved ones. People need to realize that inciting homophobia HAS CONSEQUENCES!
Amen, Ahab.
These people at C Street are just sick and demented. Deepest condolances to Kato’s family and friends. 😡
From me as well, Lisa.
wonder when Murdoch is going to let Beck and the rest start to publish names and faces. addresses and phone numbers.
As soon as it looks like the Dems might win in 2012.
I wish people wouldn’t refer to the Family types as “Christian.” They are the antithesis of everything Jesus taught. “Talibangelical” is a much better term. Calling the Family “Christian” brings the name of Jesus into disrepute.
I call them pseudo-Christians, but they do represent the Republican version false version.
Here’s a heartbreaking update: a scuffle broke out at David Kato’s funeral when the officiating pastor made homophobic remarks. Even in death, this poor man can’t escape homophobia.
