"And if you think that’s an accident--think again." Parshall (l)Parshall goes on to claim that a homosexual "agenda," complete with "propaganda" designed to "manipulate" the media and the perceptions of viewers and readers, were laid out in a 1989 book called "After the Ball: How America Will Conquer Its Fear and Hatred of Gays in the 90’s," by Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen.Airing of the video has twice been delayed at Grand Rapids TV station WOOD-TV. Originally scheduled for broadcast on Feb. 9, just before President Obama’s press conference, the program was put off because, explained the station’s program director Craig Cole in a Feb. 10 article that appeared in The Grand Rapids Press, subsequently posted at MLive.com, "We didn’t feel that it was the appropriate place, leading into the presidential event."The video, which warns of a "radical homosexual agenda," is the work of the American Family Association, and includes testimony from individuals who claim that they were once homosexual but were "cured" through prayer.The AFA’s Web site is filled with links to anti-gay and anti-Obama articles. The group has established a new site for the video, SilencingChristians.com, where the hour-long anti-gay video can be viewed.

Michigan Television Station Pulls Misleading AFA Program Following Announcement of National Action Alert By Human Rights Campaign Station manager releases statement: "The Offer is now off the table."WASHINGTON – The Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender civil rights organization, today issued a national action alert against the American Family Association's (AFA) one-hour television special called "Speechless: Silencing Christians," which is promoted to "reveal the truth about the radical homosexual agenda and its impact on the family, the nation and religious freedom." Within an hour of that action alert announcement, the Grand Rapids, MI station which had planned to air the deceptive programming rescinded that offer....snip...The HRC alert urged members to contact the station and ask that they pull the scheduled program and instead air a fair discussion or debate on both the issues and pending legislation. "I am so proud of our members who answered the lies and distortions of the AFA and stopped this campaign of hate and deception," said Human Rights Campaign President Joe Solmonese. "Our community stood up and would not let those lies stand.""This should be our wake up call. We are poised to make real progress, for the first time, for millions of LGBT Americans. We know it and so do our opponents," added Solmonese. "We must stand guard and not allow them to stop these overdue, basic protections by rolling out the same, tired script albeit in new packaging. Today's action proves we have the voices and the power to demand a fair fight and a fair debate.".The AFA program which is still viewable online and may run in other markets, is hosted by controversial talk show host Janet Parshall, who in 2006, suggested Matthew Shepard's lifestyle was responsible for his murder and called gay adoption "state-sanctioned child abuse." (CNN's Larry King Live, Jan. 17, 2006) In the new AFA program, the AFA and its allies purposely promote lies and distortions.

This is CRAP!How is it these people can parade down main street South Dakota with nothing on except chaps, showing their butts, and we can no longer give an alternative opinion?I would love for one of these DU warriors to at least show up on this board and 'splain this to me!Frikkin' cowards!
Because parading down main street in celebration of sinful behavior is "free speech." Saying that their actions are sinful is "hate speech." Just try reading Romans outloud...
Watch the "VIRULENTLY ANTI-GAY INFORMERCIAL" here:http://www.silencingchristians.com/
Busted link.
You wanna piss off a queer? Tell them the truth. Tell them they aren't special in any way. Tell them they don't have anything special about them. They are freaks. The radical ones will go ballistic. The normal ones will nod in agreement.
They act like being queer is something special! Hell the Romans and Greeks were doin' it 1,000 years before we were takin' notes!
This is CRAP!How is it these people cute biker chicks can parade down main street South Dakota with nothing on except chaps, showing their butts, and we can no longer give an alternative opinion?I would love for one of these DU warriors to at least show up on this board and 'splain this to me!Frikkin' cowards!
