Who knew we were so powerful!

Just when you think the right-wing nuts can't sink any lower, they surprise you.

An evangelical Christian group that regularly demonstrates at LGBT events is blaming gays for hurricane Katrina.

Repent America says that God "destroyed" New Orleans because of Southern Decadence, the gay festival that was to have taken place in the city over the Labor Day weekend.

Here's the latest rant from this putz:

"Southern Decadence" has a history of filling the French Quarters section of the city with drunken homosexuals engaging in sex acts in the public streets and bars," Repent America director Michael Marcavage said in a statement Wednesday.

"Although the loss of lives is deeply saddening, this act of God destroyed a wicked city." Marcavage said. "From ‘Girls Gone Wild’ to ‘Southern Decadence,’ New Orleans was a city that had its doors wide open to the public celebration of sin. May it never be the same."

How can these people call themselves Christian? How can they consider themselves the true followers of Jesus' message?

They have the uncanny ability to always pick the worst moment in the worst tragedy to spread their hate. Do they really think this kind of talk will help them spread their message?

I wonder what the people still in New Orleans think about a statement like this.
