Today during Faith and Freedom, Matt Barber of Liberty Counsel said that liberalism is a “rebellion and a hatred toward God.” Barber will find himself in good company in the conservative movement, as Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO) similarly declared that “at the heart of liberalism is really a hatred for God” and the American Family Association’s Bryan Fischer argued that “liberals hate God.” While Barber tried to explain that he was only referring to liberal beliefs rather than liberals themselves, he went on to say that “their hearts are hardened, their hearts are blackened, and frankly I just feel sorry for them.”
Towards the end of the program, Barber called People For the American Way a “silly organization” and again labeled Right Wing Watch “cyberstalkers” who are “always good for a laugh.”
