[...] got mad at Wayne for writing that mean piece. (And really, Wayne, again, simmer down.) So then I responded with a second piece, which was less “mocking” and more of a deconstruction of the warbler’s warbling, [...]

“former “gay” men (like Stephen Black of First Stone Ministries) and ex-”lesbians” (like Lisa Miller)”

Does anyone find the scare quotes here baffling? “Gay” implies the person wasn’t gay. If they weren’t gay, they can’t be ex-gay (also scare quoted in his piece) which implies orientation conversion doesn’t happen. Those are his words! Err, punctuation.

YOU’RE pulling a Kanye, I’M pulling a Kanye.

Haha, let’s all pull a Kanye, and get Jeremy and Tim Kincaid and Pam and let’s see, who else makes fun of him regularly, oh, Joe Jervis and everybody else, let’s get them all to pull Kanye’s. It would be SO funny.

>>>>I recall a long while ago how Hume’ co-worker at Fox News, Fred Barnes, also an evangelical Christian, matter-of-factly acknowledged the reality of “ex-gays” ‚Äî i.e., that God can change “homosexuals” just like He helps all types of sinners overcome.

“All types of sinners?” LaBarbera’s “God” doesn’t seem to have any discernible effect on philandering Chritian heterosexual adulterers, i.e. Mark Sanford, John Ensign, David Vitter, does he?

A little bit. But even for Fox, it was weird. As I said in the original piece, the look Bill Kristol shot him was priceless. It was just sort of an “Are you kidding me? Did you really just say that?” kind of moment.

Isn’t this story something along the lines of “dog bites man” in the first place? If Anderson Cooper had said it, that would be news.
