Pastor Bradlee Dean's Homophobic Rhetoric Lands Him In Court

Bradlee Dean (seen-r), pastor of 'You Can Run But You Can't Hide Ministry', filed a 50 million dollar suit against msnbc host Rachel Maddow (seen below) and journalist Andy Birkey, who both used a portion of Dean's radio show in their reporting. 

Pastor Dean stated both journalists took his comments out of context while defaming his name. 

Dean's attorney Larry Klayman, stated that after the reports were announced Mr. Dean received many death threats. The case is still ongoing but a Washington, D.C. judge ordered Bradlee Dean to pay Ms. Maddow's court fees.
In Bradlee Dean's words: "Muslims are calling for the executions of homosexuals in America. This just shows you they themselves are upholding the laws that are even in the Bible of the Judeo-Christian God, but they seem to be more moral than even the American Christians do, because these people are livid about enforcing their laws. They know homosexuality is an abomination...If America won’t enforce the laws, God will raise up a foreign enemy to do just that."

I guess Mr. Dean saw nothing wrong with using this kind of rhetoric? It appears to me that Rachel Maddow, didn't take Mr. Dean's words out of context at all. 

Both reporters have more of a national platform than Bradlee Dean, so when they reported on this matter his words spread like wild fire. 

Don't hate the player Mr. Dean, hate your own game that got you into this mess in the first place. Will this court case make Mr. Dean, think more carefully about his word usage?
