On his radio program today, Bryan Fischer offered up another defense of the Arizona law that would allow businesses to legally discriminate against gay customers in the name of protecting “religious liberty,” declaring that opposition to the law is itself an effort to institute Jim Crow laws that discriminate against Christians.

“Yeah, Jim Crow is back,” Fischer said, “but it’s because of the work of Big Gay and their allies, including the NFL.”

Claiming that the NFL has threatened to move the Super Bowl from Arizona if Gov. Jan Brewer does not “bow the knee to the God of Gayness” and veto the legislation, Fischer asserted that the NFL is essentially trying to segregate Arizona from the rest of society.

“In other words, what the NFL is saying to Arizona [is that] if you don’t bow the knee to the God of Gayness, you cannot sit at our lunch counter. Now that, ladies and gentlemen, is Jim Crow”:
