I’m not at all certain that Tony Perkins wouldn’t lie under Oath.

I was thinking the same thing Kevin. She’s a woman with a ‘Spanish’ first name. Does she really thing the right-wingers would give her the time of day if she weren’t carrying water for them?!

I wonder if she realizes Tony is pals with people like David Duke and other KKK folks who think she’s subhuman because she’s black and would have saw to it that her marriage to her husband never would have happened.

When Soledad O’Brien interviews the gay-bashing hate group leader Tony Perkins, as though his form of gay-bashing lies, calumnies and defamation were acceptable, she is empowering Perkins to continue hate-mongering against innocent gay human beings all over the country. When you are an accessory to deliberate lies and hatred spread against a minority, then you bear some of the responsibility for the results of the anti-minority hatred and lies that you are helping to spread. Hate speech lies are not an acceptable part of news reporting or news broadcasting. When are you going to do an in-depth report of Tony Perkins’s documentable falsehoods told against gay human beings. Huhn? When? The blood of gay-bashing victims is dripping off of your fingers, Soledad O’Brien.

CNN’s coverage is more suspect all the time. On the north side of your border, Croc tv made a point of carrying CNN feed of this:

And yet this is the same Tony Perkins who rails incessantly about the “gay friendly media.” Yah, right.

As for “anti-gay” or “hate” or “homophobic” — oh, such weak terms for a man who wants to expel us from the nation, presumably denying us our citizenship and our right of return, or our incarceration for the rest of our natural lives, or our forced conversions like we were Medieval Jews in Torquemada’s Spain, or even our extermination if those don’t work to rid us from this land. How ’bout “The genocidal lunacy of Tony Perkins…”?

Thanks, C.J.! As you saw, that was in there from the start ;-) Would never cite someone’s work or use an image they obtained without giving proper credit. We even do hat tips (h/t) whenever another blogger alerts us to a particular story! Courtesy and accuracy are important to us.
