Until then, they're just a lot of hot air. The scandals of the late 80's and early 90's demonstrated exactly what these guys motivation is.

I see some other things missing as well. Not the least of which is a concerted effort to kill innocent people in the most attention grabbing ways possible to influence US policy.

You think their advocacy for murdering gay people isn't part of that crime itself? Preachers like Swaggart are incredibly influential and can drive people to kill the next gay man who "looks at me funny".
Let's not forget the brutal murder of Matthew Sheppard, the hypocritical right to life individuals who set bombs off in abortion clinics and snipe doctors etc.
