For the second time this year, an anti-LGBT hate group is hosting a trip to Israel that will feature prominent figures from the Republican Party. The event will also feature Fox radio host Todd Starnes.
On October 27, the Family Research Council (FRC) will host its first ever eleven-day "Holy Land Tour" -- a "unique, one-of-a kind tour" where guests will "explore the land of the Bible and the roots of our Christian faith" and meet with "some of Israel's political and religious leaders."
According to the tour's brochure, the $5,000 trip features "insightful Bible teaching" and meetings with Israeli leaders aimed at providing guests with "a better understanding of Israel's important role in current geopolitical affairs and biblical prophecy."
The tour will feature a number of "special guests" including former Senator Rick Santorum, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R), and Fox News commentator Todd Starnes, who has a history of acting as FRC's mouthpiece and peddling and-LGBT rhetoric on Fox.


wonder when the right wing haters get to Israel and meet with other right wing counterparts will they use the "N" word when referring to Pres. and does the Hebrew Bible teach the same bigotry and racism as the evangelical churches or will they learn new and more exciting ways for them to discriminate?  we need to be concerned that these grandstand plays by right wing extremist don't lead us on a path they claim they are worried Pres. will, you know war what they and their host clamor for death to Iran and liberal politics
