American Family Association spokesman Bryan Fischer poked fun at Mitt Romney today on Focal Point following the resignation of Richard Grenell, an openly gay Romney spokesman on security issues who Fischer and other Religious Right leaders wanted ousted from the campaign. Anti-gay activists celebrated news of Grenell’s resignation as a “huge win,” and the New York Times reported that one Republican adviser claimed the campaign offered no defense of Grenell because “they didn’t want to confront the religious right.”

Today, Fischer asserted that Romney shouldn’t expect voters to trust him to confront China, Russia or North Korea if he cannot stand up to “a conservative radio talk show host in Middle America.” “I don’t think for one minute that Mitt Romney did not want this guy gone,” Fischer continued, “he wanted this guy gone because there was not one word of defense, not a peep, from the Romney camp to defend him.”

Wha? This doesn't even make sense, unless it was planned entrapment from the start. Does Fischer want Obama to win again?

I think Fischer was trying to clumsily say, 'Romney didn't get rid of the guy to appease the religious right; Romney got rid of the guy because he found out he was gay.'  Which is a dumb thing to be boasting about in the first place, and he picked a even dumber way to do it.  Thing is, I don't think Fischer realizes how politically dumb he was because he's used to having to deal with like-minded people for whom this statement might actually work to help rally the base to Romney.
