Reports are coming in that today's press conference by Peter LaBarbera and his merry band of homophobes at the Southern Poverty Law Center headquarters was a bomb.
Which surprises no one.
However, Right Wing Watch uncovered something a bit nauseating but also very telling at the same time. At his press conference, LaBarbera included a bunch of black pastors and was pushing the phony notion that "gay are trying to piggyback off of the civil rights movement."
They were also trying to push the phony notion that SPLC was attacking groups like LaBarbera's because they supposedly stand up for "Christian principles."
Now I ask you, are the following comments by North Carolina pastor Patrick Wooden an example of "Christian principles?" Wooden not only participated in the press conference but also is one of the folks trying to pass an anti-marriage equality amendment in North Carolina.
The comments come from an interview he conducted with LaBarbera before the failed press conference:
If you ask me, I don't think SPLC needed to issue a response to LaBarbera's failed press conference. All they have to do is replay Wooden's words. Call them what you want, but to me they epitomize hate. They epitomize ignorance. It's the same type of hate and ignorance which racists used to claim that integration was merely a way for the black man to have his way with white women.
Someone should tell Wooden that lies and exploitation of ignorance are not "Christian principles."

Wooden: The God of the Bible made the human sperm, the God of the Bible designed it and it was not designed to be emptied into an area that is filled with feces, there is nothing for it to germinate with, it will most certainly mean the extinction of the human race. My belief is that if the medical community would just step forward and just would share with the American people what happens to the male anus, the problems that homosexuals have with their rectums, the damage that is done, the operations that are needed to sew up their bodies if you will, and how many of the men don’t even give these stitches time to heal before they are back out there practicing that wicked behavior. Some are bleeders, men who are not turned off by ingesting the feces of other men.
. . . If the truth was told, people would literally gag and no one would want to be in a lifestyle like that. Who wants to practice anything that is going to ultimately lead a grown man to about the time he’s in his 40s or 50s, or what not, having to wear a diaper or a butt plug just to be able to contain their bowels?

ironic that this so called pastor (who cant seem to deliver a message without 3-4 'ums' and 'ughs' a sentence, which is strange for pastor, which you expect to be eloquent speakers) could do with some so-called rectum loosening... seeing as he is SO FULL OF CRAP!
ReplyDeleteI dislike it when people make up things like this. the Medical community is not going to take up a lie just to appease a bunch of ingorant facists. Not to mention that pastors like this man are technically Anti-Jesus. They lack the love of christ, his compassion, his humanity, and his humilty. if they had it, it would have shown, but nothing registers on the Jesus-meter. These are things are shine, and are not hard to see in a person. It is sad that people devoid of the spirit of christ think it is okay to reject his teachings, and subsitute it with their own.
Wow. This really shows how desperate the homophobes are, when they have to descend to this level of slur and defamation. It's like watching a 21st century version of Julius Streicher in action, only with a different target.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, I'm reminded that Streicher also dredged up steaming heaps of discredited pseudoscience, as part of his hate propaganda.
Unfortunately Neil, they seem to actually believe this, pardon the expression, shit.
ReplyDeleteoh brother, they most certainly think more on 'gay sex' than anything else. Honestly, sexuality and sexual acts are completely seperate. What they said is giving me a headache.
ReplyDeleteSince a generation or two has passed since this garbage was last brought out, seems the haters figure it is time to trot them out again.
ReplyDeleteFunnily enough, I recently ran across an article that said that anal sex, when done with enough careful preparation and lube, actually ends up *strengthening* the muscles in the sphincter. Something to do with all muscles getting stronger after being stretched, as long as they don't tear.
ReplyDeleteAh, found it: http://www.salon.com/2011/12/30/does_gay_sex_cause_incontinence/
Seriously, what is it with homophobes' complete fascination with gay sex, especially that one act? They just can't stop talking (and thinking?) about it.
are these people gay? they seemed to be obessed with gay sex....I wonder how many porno cites they have gone to watch...they are very sick people!

ReplyDeleteAlvin,
ReplyDeleteYou seem great at debating since I've seen you post comments on other blogs. I've come across this blog by an African-American paster named DL Foster which attacks the SPLC with this press conference but doesn't even go into detail about the lies that the SPLC debunked that these "Christian" groups say. I was wondering if can give Foster a piece of your mind such as how these groups claim "Homosexuals molest children at higher rates than Heterosexuals" and how this does teach hatred for gays on his blog:

Feel free my friend but I am familiar with DL. He knows the things he says are lies but won't admit it. Anything you say to him is like water on his back.
ReplyDeleteBut of course, anonymous, having read his page, I couldn't resist leaving a comment. I doubt he will post it though.
ReplyDeleteAlvin I also came across this site with a comments section. I've listed the exact reasons why the SPLC listed these groups as hate groups yet one poster on there named Lorraine H. can't seem to get it through her mind that the SPLC does NOT list these groups as hate groups because they have biblical beliefs against Homosexualtiy:
