Rut like rabbits? Backtrack like crazy!

First Bryan Fischer said:

Welfare has destroyed the African-American family by telling young black women that husbands and fathers are unnecessary and obsolete. Welfare has subsidized illegitimacy by offering financial rewards to women who have more children out of wedlock. We have incentivized fornication rather than marriage, and it’s no wonder we are now awash in the disastrous social consequences of people who rut like rabbits.

“Rut like rabbits?” Backtrack like crazy! Then he changed it to:

Welfare has subsidized illegitimacy by offering financial rewards to women who have more children out of wedlock. We have incentivized fornication rather than marriage, and it’s no wonder we are now awash in the disastrous social consequences of those who engage in random and reckless promiscuity, whether they are Caucasian, Hispanic, or African-American.

All that because the Left Went Wiggy!
Fischer’s observations about poverty and rutting came in a column where Fischer said Jesus groomed the Apostles for political office (now edited to remove the rut).  We don’t have much information about the later lives of the Apostles but I don’t think they went on to stellar political careers.

  1. Warren,

    I have been pretty surprised that his supremacist on Native Americans did not get more outrage.

    I am not surprised…thinking European ethnocentricism combined with the general “tune out” which occurs when people ‘demand outrage,’ which is too often a political tool, or defended against with the rhetorical tool: “…yeah, but the other guys…”
    Calloused, numb and resentful, the politically minded march on behind their standard bearers.

  3. Backtrack? Where or when? He used the phrase ‘rut like rabbits,’ then changed it to ‘engage in random and reckless promiscuity.’ Where’s the backtrack? They say the same thing. Warren & commenters here sound like he changed his tune, but I’d say he was more explicit.
    A couple comments sound like the rest of his ‘backtrack’ comment was a backtrack from an assumed African Americans to ‘Caucasian, Hispanic, or African-American.’ When I looked at the context, he was talking about welfare (used by ‘Caucasian, Hispanic, [and] African-American’) people; so on that part I’ll have to admit the change wasn’t a backtrack either, but wasn’t what I first thought when I first saw people upset by what he said.
    But he did NOT backtrack on rut like rabbits: he was even more explicit. So why do you think he backtracked? What am I missing here?

  5. Fascinating…
    Not that Fischer has the views that he expressed, but that he retracted them. I think this may be the only time (certainly that I recall) he has ever walked away from one of his rants.
    Perhaps he has recognized that it is unChristlike to accuse African-Americans of rutting like rabbits. Or maybe this is a reflection of the where his listeners and readers draw the line.
    Either way, it’s nice to know there are limits.

    There was another rant of Fischer’s that was actually removed. I can’t remember when or the what it was about, but I’m certain of it.
    There is anything that Fischer can say anymore that surprises me. To think, a majority of the GOP nominees sat with this man on his radio show. Sickening, just sickening.

  8. I know I shouldn’t think this way but… Bryan Fischer is a dickhead. He is loved by God, absolutely. He has immeasurable worth ascribed to him by Jesus. I need to view him (and others like him) as God does. I’m not there yet, just like Bryan is very distant from the way God views everyone and everything.

  12. I am no behavioral psychologist but it seems rather obvious to me that Fischer just ain’t getting enough.

  15. The rant was about Native Americans where he called them morally disqualified to keep the land. He removed it but doubled down by saying they would have all lived better if only they would have converted. Presumably they would have given the land away instead of it being stolen. As an observation, I have been pretty surprised that his supremacist on Native Americans did not get more outrage.
