OMFG. People thought this guy was just a joke; no one’s laughing now. Via Crooks & Liars:
So it turns out that Contessa Brewer had good reason to see a connection between the rabidly hateful rhetoric spewed by the likes of Pastor Steven Anderson and the angry, gun-toting protesters turning out for presidential events: One of the most prominent of these, an African-American man named “Chris”, is in fact a member of Pastor Anderson’s congregation.
“Chris” was on Alex Jones’ “Prison Planet” radio show late last week and discussed how “my pastor was beaten up” at a Border Patrol checkpoint.
Yes, that pastor is indeed Steven Anderson, who was arrested in April by the Border Patrol for being uncooperative at a patrol checkpoint. Anderson attempted to make himself something of a national martyr to the conspiracists out there by posting a video to YouTube about it that quickly went viral.
Jones took note of the Anderson connection:
Jones: Now I’m starting to get a clearer picture. You go to Pastor Anderson’s church, I see.
Chris: Yeah, yes I do. Proudly. I think it’s the best church in the world.
