Tom Emmer On Anti-Gay Hard Rock Ministry: "These Are Nice People"

[fightinglobo06]

If those are nice people i don't want to meat the bad or the worst of them.

[NairuOnLife]

"These are nice people." .... Good night.

All that needs to be said about his decision, lol. It speaks for itself, bad idea.

[Vondur]

This drummer set up shop outside a Wal-mart in my area and actually convinced me to donate a few dollars. I was duped by some sob story about how he used to be into drugs but now he formed this organization to reach out to teenagers and keep them off drugs. I had no idea about any of this right wing BS. Fuck him, I want my money back.

[SuchIsLifeVideos]

@Vondur He tried to get this video taken down by threatening me & placing a false copyright claim. It was down for 2 weeks but I got it back!

[janananananana]

117 people molested PER homosexual? jeez, i'm way behind. i've molested, oh, let's see, none. and have no desire to start. just like EVERYONE ELSE that is normal on this planet.

[ZrazorRozenstrauch]

@janananananana You should probably get started, the Rainbow Council sets these quotas for a reason, buddy.

[FlamingBat]

Unless she cut certain pieces of that audio recording out, I don't see a case here.

[andystruth]

Boy.. I sure an glad all those hard core religious types take the bible seriously. I mean the parts that say " Love your neighbour, Do unto Others, Turn the other cheek". Damn.. I am so glad they live by the rules of the bible.. Oh wait.. I guess that since the don't, they have proven the bible is pure fiction and that god does not really exist. Because if he did, he wouls smite them for not following the words he had someone transcribe into it for him.

MORONS!!!!!

[EpicGodMan]

47.3% of all statistics are made up on the spot

[ch1aka2]

Self-proclaimed Christians are sometimes the worst. I was taught that to be a good Christian, one should live by their actions, not by their words. Help those that are poorer and needier than yourself. And to not judge others and live by the Golden Rule. (None of these are practiced by the self-proclaimed Repulican/Christians of today).

[infernaltyrant]

What a fucking idiot! He thinks he has a chance at winning a 50 million dollar lawsuit just because this program quoted him! He claims defamation, there's no defamation when your reputation is already that of an ignorant, homophobic retard.

[SailorBarsoom]

3:26

Bradlee's lawsuit dies right there.

[MIJVI]

For those who would like to learn more about the difference between Dominionists and true Christians, here's a thread on the subject. Google:

New Apostolic Reformation: Theocratic Corporate Fascism with a Cross

Atheists may also find said thread to be interesting since it deals with the theocratic infiltration of U.S. politics over the past 40 years and how close these theocrats are to claiming the White House in 2012 as part of their drive to end democracy in America (I'm not kidding).

[SnideIsGood81]

I can't wait to see them go to trial for playing his audio clips verbatum. I almost thought maybe Maddow looked into the camera and said, Bradlee Dean is going to execute you gays. but no, she didn't. She's being sued for being gay, so if they find a courtroom in 1950's Alabama they might have a shot.

[letsgetitright2]

@SnideIsGood81 Haha you are so funny...or maybe i should say ignorant. This Bradlee Dean isn't suing her for this report, but for a report she did again in May, 2011. Furthermore she didn't play his entire audio verbatum, she cut out 1 min. of his show. I actually heard this radio show he was not advocating killing gays in any sense, but you wouldn't that cause the full audio is gone. Rachel can disagree with his views but she can't cut his audio to make it sound the way she wants. ILLEGAL!

[choongd]

No one cares if you think that douchebag is a "true Christian" or not. What's important is that he is spreading lies and hatred.

There really isn't any point in telling us he's not "following the teachings of Jesus". As far as we're concerned, he's a shining example of Christianity. If you really cared for your superstition, you'd stand up against him and redeem yourselves instead of whining and bitching to us.

-Atheist

[sarenaNcaiti]

Bradlee Dean is so far away and apart of Christian Teachings with his manner of calling himself a religious Christian is without words of description...Even the Bible condems the instruments of David in worshiping in addition to the scriptural direction of singing from your hearts and make joyful sounds unto God...Not banging on a drum with hard rap..Lets be real. I'm not sure what religion one could call his actions, but certainly Not Christian!

[jimmi161]

Anyone notice how that "O" in Companion looks like a "U" some subliminal messaging there.

[doetim]

That Bradlee Dean douch bag is a real character! First of all the music is horrible and secondly he looks like an Axel Rose reject. How do you sue someone for defamation when they are actually playing an audio tape of you speaking and there's no defamation here he's straight out advocating killing gays in America. There's lots of shit on him on the internet so "he can run but he can't hide!" What a nut!

What a ridiculous religious right wing nut this douche is!

[bobpalumbomusic]

Good stuff here....thanx for your work. You might also enjoy my new song/video "Bachmann Palin Overdrive". I specialize in writing humorous songs about all the craziness we call "politics" in the great US of A. Check it out!!

[TheFreezer872]

This dude is fucking insane!  He's such an ugly, xenophobic, biased prick and needs to shut his mouth! As far as the drummer goes, he's pretty wacky too. :)

[Pauly69s]

LMF(ass)O!...butt ya know these peeps really are scary...gays molest 117 peeps?...str8s molest 130...gimme a fuckin break...RACHEL U GO GIRL!!!

[TiffanyMarie105]

Bradlee Dean perhaps should watch what he says. If you don't want someone calling you out for your anti gay homophobic bullshit... don't say the anti gay homophobic bullshit in the first place.

Props to Rachel Maddow.

[KimInLosAngeles]

Rachel is SO CUTE saying, "he didn't really mean to sanction murder of gay people" @ 3:26

[romanpr1nce]

God Mr. Maddow looks like a woman...

[HorseshitDetector]

The dufus rock minister is suing Maddow for not reading his disclaimer in conjunction with his radio comment, a disclaimer in which he claims he is not calling for the execution of gays. But in fact she DID read the disclaimer! He has no case.

[moofushu]

It looks like she is going to win this case.

[HiddenMissive]

@tseitz123 You're an idiot. I'm telling you this as a favor. Please, do all of the rest of us a favor...do yourself a favor...the next time someone asks you your opinion (which is, admittedly, a far-fetched notion), keep your mouth shut. You are literally wasting our oxygen.

[tseitz123]

God Forbid she mentions the Muslims and what THEY say about homos.

[lucasboden]

Is he implying that US should uphold biblical law like stoning people to death? Um, didn't Christ die for our sins so that we no longer have to stone people to death? Those without sin may throw the 1st stone. Apparently, this guy feels that he has the authority to cast stones which is the ultimate hypocritical abomination.

[oneirishpoet]

Bradleeee Dean looks like Ted Nugent and Bill Ray Cyrus had an illegitimate gay turd baby together...srsly who the fuck cares what some Xtain douchebag like this fucking idiot says...oh yeah, OTHER Xtain morons!

[Vandal49]

117 people each...? So probably everyone in the world has been molested?

[RobertAdams68]

Junk Yard Prophets should be playing in Gehenna. The trash they talk would burn real well!

[Mikahaan]

Like many anti-gay gay republicans, my bet is that Bradlee Dean is gay.

[Sweence]

Is it a coincidence that all the gay-haters are religious kooks? We have to save the world from these divisive religious nuts. My Atheist friends will enjoy "Religious fanatic Debates Atheist" on my channel.

[oneirishpoet]

@Sweence no not really, it's what they do, it's who they are...haters that is, and gay!

[buggerarsetitwank]

Abuse 117 people? Holy crap, I'm 40 and I haven't molested a single kid! I am WAY off schedule.

[andreallewis]

Religion in this "Bradlee"s" case, is megalomania.

[cookcharlie15]

Email me if your business is interested! Thanks

[cookcharlie15]

Also! Any Big Corporations looking to sponsor us are welcome as well! Were against this bullshit and it stops now!

[cookcharlie15]

Hey man! I'm a drummer in a band and feel like the democrats should pay me and my band against you douche bags! You guys are fuck ups! Equal Rights now you stupid fucking bible thumper! More heterosexuals rape than homosexuals! You bible thumpers need to back the fuck off the gay community cause were gunna execute your band!

[zackisverybored]

What monsters :/

[neukertification]

Actually there is homosexual activity going on in Muslim countries. I watched a program on PBS called Frontline which had a documentary called "The Dancing Boys of Afganistan". Young boys are taking from their families after being lied to that they have jobs for them in the city. These young boys are trained to become dancers. Once they are trained they are put in women's clothing and forced to dance in front of a bunch of dirty, horny men who sometimes pay extra money to take these boys home.

[InContemplation]

@neukertification Thats pedophilia... Not homosexuality.

[neukertification]

@InContemplation Some of these boys start doing this in their teens until their early 20's. Whatever you want to call it is exclusively BOYS that these men are after. I call that HOMOSEXUAL tendencies.

[InContemplation]

@neukertification The ones who do this out of choice (which are few and far between) may be gay, but the forcing of other much younger boys into it, thats pedophilia, as well as slavery.

[neukertification]

@InContemplation why just boys?

[neukertification]

@InContemplation Oke...Go to the web and search for the the program Frontline's website. This is not some kind of sensational Jerry Springer program. This is a serious newsprogram broadcast by public television. Type in "The Dancing Boys of Afganistan". I still say it is homosexuality because it involves only boys, no girls.

[neukertification]

Oke if they are young boys it is pedophilia maybe so, but peodophilia is not gender specific, homosexuality is.

[InContemplation]

@neukertification I know which program you speak of, its still slavery, regardless of gender and thus incongruent to the consensual relationships, whether theyre homo or hetero. This radio BS artist is claiming that gays are consistently linked to pedophilia, this claim has been made a billion times and is utterly revoked by everyone whos investigated it, especially in industrialized countries.

[neukertification]

@InContemplation Oh I agree with you....But this artist also claims that Christians and Muslims forbide homosexuality, he praises the Muslims religion for that. I think there is a lot of hypocrisy in both religions. I personally have nothing against homosexuality.

[Kriegtime101]

You can run but you can't hide from your own bigotry! This youth "ministry" is sick and hateful, brainwashing children should not be allowed in US public schools.

[edgwaterprog]

Holy Crap!

[KaristaSwiss]

jeez another hating band :(

[AngelSacrifice]

95 % of child molesters are hetero.

[MrXmyselfx]

Heterosexuals molest people too, is heterosexuality an abomination? Or does it not matter because "homosexuality is a sin"? Of course, no one would say that heterosexuality is an abomination like homosexuality just because homosexuals molest children, because then they would be saying that the only sex we should be having is with intersex individuals or perhaps transgendered people. And that would be a pretty radical thing to say. Not to mention stupid.

[MrXmyselfx]

@MrXmyselfx Oh no, I'm sorry, no one would say that heterosexuality is an abomination because HETEROSEXUALS molest children. My bad.

I'm stupider than homophobes.

[rightwingHateSpeech]

Tom emmer thinks that bigots are nice people. That is their coded hate speech right there.

[artemisfair]

That is the worst music I've ever heard. Period. It sounds like Limp Biskit if Fred Durst was replaced with a bonobo, with a mentally retarded badger as the composer and lyricist. It's worse than watching the Pope have sex with a chicken.

[xusmcguy]

@artemisfair I think even a CHICKEN would object to having s-e-x with that freakazoid, "I wanna have s-e-x wid my INVISIBLE PIMP DADDY in the SKY!"

[tomjasz]

Emmer is a freak!

[LIGHTRONIX]

I don't care for this women. The businesses didn't donate because of homosexuality issues, it was because they appreciate his business policies and tax cuts.

[punkmanjon]

117 people? Did he just pull that out of his ass? How can he possibly back that up? What would his argument be? That there is something fundamental about being gay leads to specific molestation of 117 people? RETARD ALERT! Im gay and I havent molested anyone and I have no intention of doing so. What Bradlee (WTF?) seems not to have noticed is that whilst some Muslim nations DO execute gay people (Iran for example) they also execute men who play rock music!

[OneAmericansOpinion]

LOL!!!!!! "These are nice people" LMFAO!!!!!! And I'm sure Hitler was a good family man.  We'll honey aside from the white hoods and the cross burning, there a bunch of great guys.

[alise2079]

REPUBLICAN candidate for governor donates money to a "Christian" rock band that favors the execution of gays. Wow...way to go Gay "Republicans", truly, you can now vote your life away.

[foxfactcheck]

Proverbs 22:16 "He who oppresses the poor to increase his wealth and he who gives gifts to the rich—both come to poverty."

[NiGHTSChao689]

What a bunch of fucking idiots

[kiwiamerican56]

US Biblical scholar, Morton Smith, ...showed that the full text of St. Mark chapter....included:

"And the youth, looking upon him (Jesus), loved him and beseeched that he might remain with him. And going out of the tomb, they went into the house of the youth, for he was rich. And after six days, Jesus instructed him and, at evening, the youth came to him wearing a linen cloth over his naked body. And he remained with him that night, for Jesus taught him the mystery of the Kingdom of God"

[loki3692]

Step right up the betting windows are now open for how long will it take for Bradlee to be outed as a gay pedophile!

[peddieboyy]

wtf did she do at 0:09? 

[on3p1g]

@peddieboyy she farted.

[embodythejotun]

@peddieboyy she said the governor's name wrong, that's all

[rmassie11]

“I now understand my current ex-wife has got a restraining order against me” LMAO.............This country is so fuck'd

[xXShunketsuXx]

"117 precisely he counted"

LOL

[southernred8]

@Ezekiel33and9 That is the biggest load of bullcrap! Yes, christians are dishonest as hell --Do I have to tell you the definition of lying? It is "stating things as fact that are actually not true". I repeat, when a person states something, presenting it as factual, when in fact, it is not factual, that person is lying, and therefore a liar.

Ya understand?

Bradlee Dean = christian sociopathic liar.

[kiwiamerican56]

Modern historians and new research says Jesus was gay or bisexual, and he never said a single word against gays or gay love, & he supported women's equality 2000 yrs ago. Hitler & Emmer(

"In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot.... they have perverted the purest religion ever preached to man into mystery and jargon, unintelligible to all mankind, and therefore the safer engine for their purpose."

- Thomas Jefferson

[Ezekiel33and9]

@kiwiamerican56 that modern history is vain deceit and as far as the quote goes it just proves the fact that when men add their on thought to the word of God such as "Jesus was gay or bisexual, and he never said a single word against gays or gay love" as you have stated is a perversion of the pure word of God which Jesus is.

[xmikeyxlikesitx]

@Ezekiel33and9 In that same right, people have added their own word to the Bible throughout history. The *real* Bible most likely has a LOT of different passages that were removed and reworded.

[mcfreeky1]

this is bulls!@*

[Ezekiel33and9]

These are the words of Jesus Christ.

Revelation 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.



[ivar4us]

that sounded highly edited on the part of Mr. Deen, I wonder what it would sound like if we heard the questions and the answers together?

[southernred8]

@ivar4us

You wrote: "@southernred8 And this video is honest? the editing is easy to hear. I've never met Mr. Dean but I'd like to hear the two of them talk LIVE. No editing. And if you would please point out his lies. I missed them."

Start with the lie about the "117".

Christians will believe anydamnthing.

[randycramerart]

oh. they're nice people. okay!

[denverSkip]

NICE??? Like Nazi nice or KKK nice? I wonder what Jesus would think of them?

[TimGR]

Love the Prairie Home Companion reference.

[nicksfannc]

Dear God, if I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't believe it! These people are mentally disturbed!

[Ezekiel33and9]

Don't be so quick to say christians lie, many people go by the title and are far away from Christ. the truth is that real love warns of danger

Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

[tipofmytongue1024]

It doesn't matter what the hell you believe. Homosexuals are still HUMAN BEINGS. Morals shouldn't govern rights. Conformation is the true crime against nature and yet people wants to keep pushing it.

People keep saying "This nation was built on Christian values" well...Benjamin Franklin said Lighthouses are more useful that churches.

[Ezekiel33and9]

how can one have rights without a moral standard

[xmikeyxlikesitx]

@tipofmytongue1024 Thank you for making fucking sense!!!

[TheMad1948]

If these are Emmer's "nice people", who are the evil? And 117 people molested by homosexuals?? I'm offended; thank my god I'm not in Minnesota. And Target's CEO and his wife each maxed out their personal political contributions to MN Forward; Target doesn't understand why their stock is losing money. Lie down with dogs, you're gonna get fleas!!

[southernred8]

Christians shamelessly lie with impunity.

[Dexi]

@southernred8 - good generalization. awesome use stating your source and evidence, too. I think it's cool how you are personally familiar with every single Christian in the world! That's really neat.

[southernred8]

@Dexi Well, thank you!

Ah, the irony (assuming you're a christian) of a christian wanting "evidence".

[Dexi]

@southernred8 - No, i'm not. Good try though!

[LIGHTRONIX]

@southernred8 people like you have prejudice that all christians are like this idiot.

[southernred8]

@LIGHTRONIX Nope. I never said *all* christians are like this extremist idiot. But they are the ones with the loud voices and they are the ones commanding influence with politicians, not normal, sane, progressive Christians.

[MIJVI]

@southernred8 With due respect :-) I would like to gently point out that intolerant, self-promoting, 'born again' Biblical literalists like Bradlee Dean are Dominionists (no middle ground, fire & brimstone theocrats).

In contrast true Christians (the inclusive love of Christ) are gentle souls who actually THINK when they read the Bible (interpreting the historical and cultural context which the Scriptures were written in). An example: Google:
