In the middle of the night on August 27, 1955, Emmett Till--a 15 year-old black boy--was kidnapped from his uncle's house in Mississippi by two white brothers. They dragged him into the woods, beat him until he was unrecognizable, shot him, tied a fan around his neck to weigh him down, and tossed him into the Tallahatchie River.

On September 22, 2000, a man charged into a gay bar in Roanoke, VA and opened fire because he wanted to "waste some faggots." Danny Overstreet was killed, and six others were injured.

In a new video, Focus on the Family equates being brutally murdered for being gay with getting your order screwed up in the drive through. They equate Emmett Till's savage death with being cut off while driving on the freeway.

These are the people who purport to speak for Christians in America. These are the family values that they espouse. This is the group that is pulling George W. Bush's puppet strings.
