Bombardment!

I thought I could take a day off and obviously I was wrong.

I've noticed that our friend Peter LaBarbera is engaging in a new tactic: listing new entries on his page in rapid succession. These entries are articles from so-called "pro-family" sites, which means they are biased, claiming that Christans are being persecuted.

Ususally the articles are about incidents that have not gotten much notice in the mainstream press, meaning that Peter and company can twist the articles around to suit their lies before the truth comes out.

Peter's latest entries are no different:

Sex Worker “Art” Show Hosted by College of William and Mary

UK Religious Schools Must Not Teach that Homosexuality Is Sinful or Morally Wrong

Deerfield High School Uses GLSEN’s “Lunchbox” Series — What’s in the Box?

Irish Boy, 14, Arranges Sex with Adult Men Using Gaydar


Peter received these articles from Lifesite, an anti-gay industry online publication from Canada. Other online sites are going to be repeating these articles verbatim from Lifesite and other so-called "pro-family" news sources, i.e. OneNewsNow and WorldNetDaily.

This is how lies and rumors are started. And these sites doing just like Peter, heaping all of these stories one after the other all at once so that it is almost impossible to respond.

An excellent communication tactic, but not very Christian.
