There’s not much to this story, except that Peter LaBarbera is reacting hysterically to the fact that Joe Jervis pointed out the other day that, in supporting Augusta State University grad student Jennifer Keeton, the Ku Klux Klan is on the same side as Peter LaBarbera. This is a true statement. Indeed, this is his entire statement that referred to LaBarbera:
Peter LaBarbera and the KKK, both on the same side of hate. Feels like a perfect match.
Peter’s response? Melodramatic, overblown and completely hysterical. Hilarious [sic throughout, obviously]:
Wow. The analytical powers of atheist, homosexual perversion-defender Joe Jervis’ (of the Joe. My. God. blog) are in full display as he exposes the sinister, long-concealed ”truth” that AFTAH has been trying to hide for decades — that we are aligned with the … KKK … yeah, that’s it … the KKK! Joe alone had the analytical skills to pull together the story: AFTAH (and by extension FRC, AFA, Liberty Counsel, ADF, PFOX, etc.) have partered with the Klan to stop gay equality!!
Wow, like…I know you are but what am I?
Joe didn’t say Peter was “aligned” with the KKK, nor did he say that they had “partered” with him. He merely pointed out, as I have, that they are on the same side on this issue, and that groups like Peter’s and PFOX are working with approximately the same moral authority as the Ku Klux Klan.
But I guess Joe’s words struck a nerve.
I jest, of course. But Joe is serious–that’s the sad part. (Apparently he didn’t get the memo that the first one to call the other guy a “Nazi” in a debate is the automatic loser
The Nazis were from Germany, Peter. They’re different from the Ku Klux Klan, who agrees with you more than they disagree. Watch this, because it’s funny:
that is, unless your opponent, like Wayne Besen, is actually behaving like a Nazi.)
He’s of course talking about the time Wayne stood outside a meeting where “ex-gay” leaders had just come back from Uganda, where they spread the bile that has contributed to the terrible situation for gays in that nation. Peter likes to pretend Wayne was “screaming into a church service or something,” but that’s called lying, and lying is wrong.
Also: I must have missed it in my history books, but I don’t think the Nazi Party was known for its peaceful, legal protests against oppression.
He’s so nervy here:
Such finely-honed logic. Such depth of reasoning and discernment. The nuances alone are worth pondering and studying for years to come. Joe, here’s the deal: your hatred of Americans For Truth and this writer (but more important, for the God who lovingly created you) is getting the best of you. Next time you set out to discredit AFTAH, try using a line of argumentation that wouldn’t embarrass a smart 5th-grader if he or she tried it.
Eh, again, Peter, all he said was that you and the KKK are on the same hateful side. This is true.
Perhaps this would be a good time for the leader of one hate website to reflect on why he finds himself in such strong agreement with one of the most notorious hate groups in American history.
Who was it that said, “If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with b******t”…seems PL is taking that to heart…
Well, you know the RRRW is allergic to facts.
@Buffy — not just facts, they’re allergic to REALITY.
[...] 3. Evan Hurst and Joe Jervis are sooooooo mean. In case you missed it, Joe Jervis pointed out that Peter is on the same side as the Ku Klux Klan on a very specific issue: that of Jennifer Keeton of Augusta State University, who, like a child, wants the counseling department at the school to adjust their degree requirements for her “special needs,” i.e., her religion-based bigotry against gay people. The school told her, “No, dear,” so now, of course, she’s a Religious Right cause celebre. Peter turned Joe’s post into something it really wasn’t, as all Joe did was point out the similar goals of the two entities on the issue. I agreed with Joe. [...]
I find it distasteful when christians try to use christian logic on nonchristians. Shouldnt they use an argument that applies to everyone, like undisputable facts or research or history or something, instead of opinion-based faith argument? I dont think you can be very persuasive to an intelligent being on any subject if you use something disputable as your appeal. To me, its almost like if you tried to present me with science or psychology or statistical finding, and I said that it couldnt be true because Harry Potter said so. I am not necessarily saying that the bible isnt true and that christians are wrong (or am I?), but fiction or not, I find it fruitless to use a man-written text to argue rights and liberties. These are PEOPLE we are talking about. Don’t humans, with beating hearts and thinking brains, deserve a little bit more compassion than to have rights stripped away by something that isnt necessarily fact? Its distasteful.
Sometimes I wish that a christian’s child would be in a burning building and a gay firefighter saved his life. Being gay doesnt stop you from having the ability to save a life. I think we should judge each other based on our actions and deeds, not our sexuality or skin color or religious background. It hurts me that a gay fireman is still “going to hell” even though he may be more compassionate than an adulterous straight man. Not to say that all gay men are angels and all straight men are a******s because I’ve met both of both, but doesn’t anyone give the benefit of the doubt anymore?
@Kendra [in ragards to reply #6] many in my workplace are saved everyday because I work in the healthcare field. many of them dont know especially my patients that are majority christian that they are being cared for by a lesbian nurse :) so go figures lol. and i do agree with what you said.
[...] the Nazi Party. However that’s just a minor detail with the main point is that Porno Pete has a big issue with Nazi comparisons. (Although Porno Pete goes surreptitiously into gay leather events with his camera to smear an [...]
