This last weekend Ted Cruz let Phil Robertson warm up a crowd for him in Iowa. The event confirmed that Robertson needs a little more awareness:

Duck Dynasty” star Phil Robertson warmed up a crowd Sunday in Iowa for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) by vowing to “rid the earth” of same-sex marriage supporters. “It is evil, it’s wicked, it’s sinful and they want us to swallow it,” Robertson told the crowd in Council Bluffs.

Dude…

Robertson proceeded to say we had to rid the earth of gay rights supporters:

“We have to run this bunch out of Washington D.C.,” Robertson continued. “We have to rid the earth of them. Get them out of there.” Robertson said Cruz was a “godly” politician who could cure what he believes is a “spiritual problem” in Washington, D.C.

Imagine if somebody said we had to rid the earth of Christians. Imagine the conniption, the storm of unmitigated and perfect outrage that would result. Oh, it would be wailing and gnashing of teeth about Christian persecution from now until their pacemakers finally gave out.

But when they say the same of their political enemies? Hot damn, then they’re just standing up for all that’s good in the world. This is about as lacking in empathy as people can be, and they all seem to be the ones who love that Jesus figure the most.
