How to defend Sally Kern - when all else fails, lie like hell

In Peter LaBarbera's silly defense of Kern (highlighted in Thursday's post), he made it a point to infer that no complete transcript of her tape was produced.

Well this was a bold faced lie, as a copy of the speech has been online for sometime now.

So what does Peter do? He publishes the transcript of her speech without any acknowledgement that his original inferences were wrong.

And not only that, he is now embracing her words.

I guess Peter felt the need to "clarify" certain points; definite proof that many of Kern's statements presented a problem to defend.

You know, the very fact that I’m talking to you like this, here today, puts me in jeopardy. Okay, and so, so be it. Okay, and I’m not ‘anti’, I’m not gay bashing, but according to God’s Word that is not the right kind of lifestyle. It has deadly consequences for those people involved in it. They have more suicides and they’re more discouraged, there’s more illness, their lifespans are shorter. You know, it’s not a lifestyle that is good for this nation. Matter of fact, studies show that no society that has totally embraced homosexuality has lasted more than, you know, a few decades [Kerns told Americans For Truth’s LaBarbera that she meant to say “generations” here rather than “decades”].

So it’s the death knell for this country. I honestly think it’s the biggest threat even, that our nation has, even more so than terrorism or Islam which I think is a big threat, okay. [Kern told AFTAH that that here she was talking singularly about radical Islamic terrorism]

What a bunch of horseshit. Kern meant every words she said and an after-the-fact correction is useless here. And by the way, she is still incorrect regarding that "I meant generations" nonsense. Also, I still say that if she meant radical Islamic terrorism, she should have said so. I think she was talking about Islam in general.

Kern's speech is trash, pure and simple. It embodies every lie, every distorted study, every discredited study that the anti-gay industry has used against the lgbt community. That Peter took so long to embrace it is beyond me.

It's the same trash coming from his site every day.


And the lies keep coming, courtesy of One News Now

And now One News Now has gotten into the act. It took the phony news service time to "give the Christian perspective" on the situation. As of course they get the story all wrong:

Okla. lawmaker threatened with legal action for practicing free speech

Oklahoma state lawmaker Sally Kern has had to obtain legal representation in the wake of a barrage of tens of thousands of hate-filled emails and threatened lawsuits after she spoke publicly about the dangers of the radical homosexual agenda.

What lawsuits? This is the first time I have heard of lawsuits. Of course One News Now does not go into detail as to who is threatening to sue Kern. And the news site does not talk to people on the other side of this issue, like this legitimate news service did.

Of course the One News Now piece was written to rally support for Kern. As you can see by the comments section, this country has an excess of "guillible Christians" willing to be taken in by such tripe.

Look at me, I’m Peter LaBarbera!

"…their [homosexual's] lifespans are shorter." [Kerns told Americans For Truth’s LaBarbera that she had originally intended to say that same sex friends also cause premature aging, and that everyone should avoid contact with members of the same sex altogether, from now on].

"So, uh, hate crimes […] Okay. If two little old ladies are both murdered, you know, and one’s gay and [the] other isn’t, why should the one that was gay, [why should] her murderers receive a harsher crime than the ones who murdered the other little old lady? They’re both dead. You know, murder is murder." [Kerns ensured AFTAH that that here she was truly believing in her mind that all crime is equal, and that all murder is accidental, because we’re all equally fallen sinful creatures, and that no one should ever be charged with anything more than involuntary manslaughter].

"Ben Franklin wrote him a letter — and Ben Franklin, arguably is one of our lesser considered religious leaders" [At this point Kerns told AFTAH that that here she was thinking: “Did I say that out loud, or did I just think it?”].

"That’s why we have to be careful about what we read, what we watch, things like that, what music we listen to and stuff because what goes in is what comes out. Garbage in, garbage out. […] You take our young minds and the garbage that they’re reading in our libraries and I mean it’s garbage." [Kerns (now attempting to mentally recollect something), asks AFTAH whether or not AFTAH remembers that song…by that group…].

Typical RRRW tactic. Cover a pile of lies with more lies. That's their SOP. It makes me want to puke.

But what am I telling you this for? You wrote the book on it.
