On his radio program on Friday, Bryan Fischer took some time out to pat himself on the back for being one of the only people brave enough to admit “the truth” that Adolf Hitler was gay and that “homosexuals helped to form and shape and mold the Nazi party.”

The inspiration for this celebration was Jonah Goldberg’s appearance on Fox News last week where he asserted that he knows “for a fact that a lot of the founders of the Nazi Party were gays,” which Fischer noted is what he has been saying for at least seven years.

Fischer declared that nobody else within the conservative movement has been willing to admit this historical fact because they saw what happened to him when first did so several years back.

“I said that back in 2009, got absolutely hammered, got absolutely blistered,” Fischer said, “and I think what happened is people like Jonah Goldberg saw what happened to somebody who was willing to step out and tell the truth about the origins of the Nazi party, that it was rooted in the homosexual movement, homosexual community; it was formed in a gay bar in Munich, most of the officers of the SA, the Stormtroopers, were homosexuals, you had no chance of advancing in the Stormtroopers unless you were a practicing homosexual.”

After claiming that the infamous “Night of the Long Knives” was really directed at eliminating Nazi insiders who were about to “out” Hitler to the German public, Fischer declared that he originally made this case back in 2009 and 2010 because the U.S. government was discussing the possible repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.

“That was the discussion at the time,” Fischer said, “what about homosexuality in the military? And my point was very simple: That’s been tried. Nazi Germany tried that. How did that experiment work out?”

Fischer’s claims about the Nazis are, of course, entirely untrue.
