MISSISSIPPI BAPTIST LEADER THREATENED RETALIATION ON GOP REPS WHO DIDN'T VOTE FOR ANTI-GAY BILL

Mississippi's Senate Bill 2681 is a reprehensible
piece of legislature that opens the gates wide for
anti-gay discrimination masquerading under the
guise of "religious freedom."
The bill passed, and should any GOP
representatives have been on the fence about the
issue, Jimmy Porter, executive director of the
lobbying arm of Mississippi’s Southern Baptist
convention, the Christian Action Commission, was
sure to set them straight, promising a "political
calamity" should any of them vote against Jesus .
Said Porter in part,
The fact is that one’s position on this piece of
legislation can be made public whether a vote
is taken or not. The leadership of the House
will take a lot of heat for its failure if that is
the case but it will be undeserved. The Christian Action
Commission will work diligently to ensure the blame will be laid at
the feet of these 20 alleged Republicans [against the bill].
Approximately 60,000 Baptist households will read about it and
know the truth. Add to that Pentecostal households, members of
the Tea Party, followers of American Family Association, the Liberty
Council and the Family Research Council, etc., and you begin to see
the widespread interest in this bill.
Who Would Jesus Harangue?
