Anti-Gay Teenage Radio Host Blasts AFA For Selling Out Bryan Fischer

Caiden Cowger is a 16-year-old, anti-gay, right-wing radio host who had his 15 minutes of fame a couple of years ago when he declared that President Obama was "making kids gay." Not surprisingly, this sort of rhetoric caught the ear of Bryan Fischer and he began to feature Cowger on his American Family Radio program on occasion as the two quickly formed a mutual admiration society.

Last week, the American Family Association stripped Fischer of his role as spokesman for the organization and issued a letter denouncing several statements that Fischer has made over the last several years and this is not sitting well with Cowger at all, as he has now fired off a post blasting the AFA for being "extremely unprofessional" by supposedly misrepresenting Fischer's views and becoming "compliant with liberal organizations":

Being a regular listener of Focal Point w/ Bryan Fischer, it is clear that his own organization (The American Family Association) took his words out of context and attempted to discredit his views. Vaughn inappropriately cited remarks that Fischer said on his radio show along with his own personal interpretations, and then stated that the American Family Association disagreed with his views on those specific matters. This was completely unnecessary, because all of Fischer’s statements are already disclaimed on his radio show at the end of every broadcast, that his views do “not necessarily reflect those of the American Family Association.”

If you also notice, the lawyer did not completely quote Fischer’s statements; quotations were used in the same sentence, along with interpretations. That was extremely unprofessional.

It appears that the American Family Association has become compliant with liberal organizations and while freedom of expression is still allowed on their radio network American Family Radio, it is no longer acceptable in their main organization.

The problem with conservatives is that we do not defend each other. Instead we blame each other for the successes of the progressives, as I feel also applies in this case.

We have contacted Mr. Vaughn for a statement regarding this matter, but are still waiting for a response.
