Chris Matthews: Gay Liberals are Suspects for Church Burnings

[Gemini Cricket]

MATTHEWS: Is there anything in the papers down there where a Baptist church has taken a position on some social issue, gay marriage, something that's hot, where that would have aroused somebody?

ATF AGENT CAVANAUGH: I haven't seen that Chris, but it's very viable because we had an arson at a Unitarian church in rural Virginia, back in the summer, and it was right after the church at a national level had embraced gay members. There was an attack on this church in Staunton (?), Virginia, so things like that can happen.

MATTHEWS: That's why I'm thinking like that because the more liberal churches would drive some people on the right crazy and maybe a more liberal person, who's gay for example, would feel that they've been terrorized by the beliefs of another church too. We don't know.

Gay Liberal Arsonists... Is that what he's saying or am I reading into this?

Let's say for the sake of argument that the arsonist(s) are found and are gay, do they then represent all of us in the gay community?

I don't watch Chris Matthews' show but I've heard of him. He sounds like he's rather extreme...
