CNN Anchor Carol Costello Shuts Down Interview Over Anti-Gay ‘Hate Speech’ [Video]
Anchor Carol Costello was incredibly professional while interviewing an anti-gay activist on CNN’s News Room, but hey … everyone has a breaking point, right?
Costello interviewed Bryan Fischer, a spokesman for the anti-gay American Family Association, about his “values-based” organization’s stance against the Southern Poverty Law Center’s anti-bullying diversity initiative, particularly the “Mix It Up a Lunch Day” event, reports Gawker. Opening the interview with quotes from Fischer’s 2010 “radio webcast” in which he said that “Hilter recruited homosexuals to make up his stormtroopers … Hilter discovered he could not get straight soldiers to be savage and brutal and vicious enough,” Costello gave Fischer a chance to explain his side of the story.
Fischer, who holds the title of “Director of Issues Analysis” for the nonprofit American Family Association, called homosexuality “toxic,” and compared it to “poisoned Halloween candy.” Costello becomes increasingly agitated and uncomfortable as the interview plods along, though for the most part, she keeps her cool.
MSN reports that Fischer finally went over the line when he compared “homosexuals” to “health risks,” causing Costello to abruptly end the interview. “That’s just not true,” Costello tells Fischer before cutting him off. “I’m going to end this interview now, sir, because that’s not true.”
The Southern Poverty Law Center has classified the American Family Association as a hate group, notes The Huffington Post.
Here’s a video of Carol Costello’s interview with AFA’s Bryan Fischer, up to the point where she ultimately cuts him off and ends the interview due to his anti-gay “hate speech.” What do you think?

"“That’s just not true,” Costello tells Fischer before cutting him off. “I’m going to end this interview now, sir, because that’s not true.”.
Is she mentally unstable? Who the hell appointed HER the arbiter of what's true or false? How about she let the guy give his opinion and let the PUBLIC decide for themselves what's "true" or "not true"? Who appointed her my "nanny" that she gets to make up MY mind for me?

Fortunately for the rest of us, neither Costello nor Fischer decide "what's true" but rather hundreds of years of scientific study, peer review, the refining of the scientific method, and the burden of proof when making outrageous claims [such as homosexuality being linked to ANY kind of "health risk."].
So you see, Costello was not "deciding" what was true, she simply knew that Fischer's claim was not true because of the overwhelming medical and sicentific evidence that she is able to grasp.
Just as I haven't "decided" but rather "know without a doubt" that you don't understand the difference beteween "truth" and "opinion" because of the wealth of knowledge I have regarding grammer, the english language, and the basic definitions of words vs your clear lack of intellectual discipline.
Facts, my dear boy, are not decided by the opinions of the Public – if they were the Earth would indeed be flat, and whether a person floated after tossed into a river with their ankles bound with stones would would determine their level of "witchery."
By the way, no one is making up your mind for you. Only you get to choose just how undeniably wrong you are on just about everything.

I posted a pro-God, pro-family, comment on this story, and it was deleted. I found a column of 369 comments on this story, overwhelmingly anti-Christian and anti-God… CENSORSHIP by the homosexual agenda.

Ian Dodds . You have swallowed the propaganda of the homosexual agenda and you do not speak the truth.
Oct 17, 2012
False. We do not remove any comments unless they are hate speech or vulgar. None of your comments have been deleted by any of our moderators.

1). Unless she works for the CDC, she knows as much as the guy who made the "health risk" statements. 2). I never said the guy was "right" or "wrong"- my comment had NOTHING to do with that, and the fact that you can't see that speaks to your lack of reading comprehension, not my inability to discern between facts and opinions; 3). The, "the wealth of knowledge I have regarding grammer", and you're incapable of spelling GRAMMAR?!? How about more reading, less bragging?
I don't care what the guy has to say. I DO care that some second-rate reporter feels she needs to tell ME (or anyone else) what's "true" or "untrue"- I decide that.

1) you are wrong about having to have CDC level knowledge to know the difference between homosexuality and a health risk. What else can I say… in this you are simply wrong… IT's like saying that you need to be a physicist to know about the fact that the earth orbits the Sun.
Also, she didn't decide anything 'for you' she was interviewing someone who started to simply spout known falsehoods and cut him off. You are just a viewer… nothing about the relationship between any of the parties involved was in any manner "involuntary."
2) I never inferred that you made a judgement call regarding Fischer's statement. So again, I'm not sure you understand the content of what Costello said, what I wrote, or anything else that gets filtered through your angry little mind. Oh and hey, thank you for pointing out my typing mistake, but you should know there is also a difference between typing errors, grammatical errors, reading comprehension, and an unwillingness to proof read when submitting comments to FB or the internet in general. Or shall I point out your many grammatical and spelling errors? Yes? No?
And no, you don't get to decide what is or isn't true,… you get to investigate a claim or you get to legitimately demand that someone else , when making an outrageous claim, submit to their own burden of proof. Truth, facts, reality aren't 'decided.' What you do get to decide is whether you live in a state of perpetual ignorance or one of honest and rational investigation regarding the world and universe around you.
You Don't get to decide "truth" my friend, you get to discover what is or isn't true: for example, the 'fact' that the earth orbits the sun is not 'decided' by you, and if you 'decide' the opposite, you haven't decided truth, you are merely wrong.
Also, I haven't 'decided' that I am far more intelligent and rational than you are, I have proven so with demonstrable skill regarding my logical and critical examination of your responses. Arrogant – sure, why not! Wrong? Not a bit! So c'mere and give us a big 'ol kiss you little tea-party yosemite sam type you!

Albert Einstein said, "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex… It takes a touch of genius – and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction." Keep writing those volumes, Ian. You're merely confirming the man's brilliance…

I love that she had to cut him off before he could cite the CDC disease rates among homosexuals. HAHAHA….they don't want the truth getting out.
Everyone knows the liberals are jamming the fagggottt agenda down kids throats in school like a gay penis covered in feces goes down a gay mans throat giving him E-Coli 157.

The Irony is it's painfully obvious you take it up the arse as you're so well informed of the subject of sucking feces off the male organ AND you look very masculine.

And yet somehow homosexuals are 1% of population and still account for 53% of all new HIV cases. I wonder how that happens….LOL. Fagggott…I love that you have HIV. Die!
