What did I say? What did I say when Elisabeth Hasselbeck came out in support of marriage equality? I said:
Cue Peter LaBarbera posting a crying plea to Hasselbeck to become a bigot again in 5, 4, 3, 2…
I am prophet like Lou Engle!
Title of Peter’s post:
Et tu, Elizabeth? The View’s Hasselback [sic] Joins Pro-Gay-’Marriage’ Sellouts
Oh lord.
Subtitle of Peter’s Post:
Hasselback [sic] joins growing list of conservatives who lack courage to defend truth on homosexuality
Or maybe she actually thinks anti-gay hatred and bigotry is disturbed and asinine.
Let’s have a look at Peter’s piece (ew):
What is this, ‘Conservatives Without Principles Month’?
No, that’s every month.
Memo to Hasselback [sic]: the unborn baby is a human being with his or her own separate DNA, not some mere appendage. Regarding marriage: America’s moral slide and several decades of homosexualist organizing – and perhaps the likelihood that you sympathize with your ”gay” friends and acquaintances – do not erase the timeless truth of the Book of Genesis.
Is that the part about dinosaurs on Noah’s Ark? And really, if we’re going for credibility here, I question his decision to cite one of the books of the Bible that is so obviously A Myth that it smacks you in the face, with a talking snake.
What confounds me are the “conserv-a-libs” (Ryan Sorba calls them “liberal-tarians”) – who so readily ditch five millennia of biblically-informed truth for the latest sexual/social fad. George Will, Laura Schlessinger, Ann Coulter, Glenn Beck, Kathleen Parker, Mike Gallagher, Michael Barone (talk about poll-driven morality!), Bill O’Reilly, Elizabeth [sic] Hasselback [sic] – each of these conservatives has made some homosexuality-related cave-in, some more serious than others. And, of course, every defection has earned the plaudits of media liberals and LGBT activists alike.
Oh, that hedonist George Will, always caving in on his principles for a quick jaunty rumble at a circuit party…
Yes, the libertarians appear to be winning the day on this issue, which is especially galling because the homosexualist agenda is a statist and anti-liberty agenda if there ever was one. Just ask its growing list of faith-based victims who have paid a high price for disagreeing with homosexuality.
All FOUR of them, whose stories the Christian Right consistently embellishes or outright lies about in order to create the perception of victimization.
One must wonder: if on the American Right, the once-unmentionable Sin of Sodom is now deserving of association with the sublime title of “marriage,” just what are modern “conservatives” like Hasselback [sic] conserving, anyway?
Disproven economic theory and foreign policy. Racism. Xenophobia. Etc.
Okay, enough of that. Peter’s too predictable at this point.

[...] Hasselbeck gave unexpected support to marriage equality, and Peter LaBarbera cried about it, so that the prophecy may be fulfilled. Oh, and the gayest wingnut slapfight ever is still going [...]

‘Do not erase the timeless truth of the Book of Genesis.’ LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why can’t LaBarbera just come out as a moron and a clown who believes the earth is 6,000 years old? Earth calling LaBarbera: simple Palestinian peasants who knew no science, no medicine, no astronomy and no meteorology had an excuse. You, living after Copernicus, DARWIN, Curie, Watson, Crick and the opening of the human genome, have no excuse, you ignorant creationist dolt.
How can anyone seriously believe dinosaurs and man lived together? I think Matthew 10:22, where Jesus warns his followers to expect mockery and ridicule for seriously following his beliefs, sums up the attitude that thinking people should take towards serious Christians of Labarbera’s ilk. It’s an obligation to do so, otherwise we end up with Eagle Forum idiots like this sitting on education boards, like in Texas right now, destroying children’s life chances.
Here is Prof. PZ Myers having a laugh at people like Labarbera and other nutcases like him, at the ridiculous amusement park, the Creation ‘Museum’ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQQl2TMrgbM

I guess no one ha explained to Pete that the Flintstones is not a documentary.

D.B., idiots like LeBarbera look at that passage from Matthew and think to themselves, “If I’m making such a complete a*s of myself that I have NO. CREDIBILITY. WHATSOVER., then I must be a right, true believer.”
At least, that’s the only explanatrion I can come up with for their willfull stupidity.

“…Just ask its growing list of faith-based victims who have paid a high price for disagreeing with homosexuality.”
Let’s see pictures of their bruised and battered faces. Their broken bones and wired jaws. The graffiti sprayed all over their businesses and houses. Their keyed cars, them cyring huddled at home, or sitting homeless on the street, or tied to a fence left to die.
Then, THEN I’ll agree that they’re victims of the Horrific Gay Agenda.
This man has no shame, no conscious.
Yeah, I know, I sound like a broken record but I speak the Truth as I see it, and from my persepctive, it can’t be uttered enough.

Er… conscience. Jeez, I REALLY need to proof afore I post. :P

I thought it was extremely well said either way, Gew.

“Timeless truth of ‘Genesis.’”
Seriously, this IS the 21st century.
What an illiterate moron.
I refuse to identify as an American physicist with trash like this in any kind of spotlight in this country.
