Anti-Gay Journo Takes Aim Pitney’s “Controversial” Palin Piece
Nico Pitney is definitely on fellow journalist Brian Fitzpatrick’s shit list!
Pitney, the Huffington Post editor who chatted with us a few months back, earned Fitzpatrick’s rage this week after writing about potential vice-president Sarah Palin’s “controversial” religious views.
And it’s that very word – “controversial” – that Fitzpatrick seizes upon, insisting that “pro-gay” Pitney’s simply trying to hash up some scandal of his own and push a nefarious agenda.
In his effort to marginalize Palin’s religious values, Pitney appears to be advancing a political agenda. Just two weeks ago, the self-described “advocacy†journalist was scheduled to participate in a panel on opinion writing at the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association convention in Washington, D.C.
…
To define Palin’s faith, Pitney and Stein quote what they describe as “provocative†and “eyebrow-raising†statements by Wasilla pastor Ed Kalnins. The minister’s teachings, however, may not be as controversial as Pitney and Stein believe.
Well, considering Wasilla Assembly of God’s support of Love Won Out, a non-profit dedicated to “curing” the vile homosexual, we’d have to disagree with Brian Fitzpatrick, who’s senior editor at the Culture and Media Institute.
It’s worth noting that the Institute works to “preserve and help restore America’s culture, character, traditional values, and morals against the assault of the liberal media elite, and to promote fair portrayal of social conservatives and religious believers in the media.” Fitzpatrick also sat on the board of the Americans for Truth about Homosexuality, “a group dedicated to exposing the homosexual activist agenda.”
AFTAH seeks to apply the same single-minded determination to opposing the radical homosexual agenda and standing for God-ordained sexuality and the natural family as countless homosexual groups do in promoting their harmful agenda.
So, Fitzpatrick, what’s that about Pitney’s slant?
Man, I sure wish the freaking rapture would hurry up and get here already.
If we want Obama’s religious views to be defined by him and not what his preacher said, we should be just as fair to Palin.
Watch her speak to her church: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QG1vPYbRB7k
She talks about a gas pipeline being god’s work. She declares that our troops in Iraq are on mission from god and that the plan came from god. These are statements I would imagine coming from the Taliban or Pres. Ahmadinejad from Iran. We enjoy the separation of church and state in this country.
Penticostalism is the sixth largest religious group in the nation. The Assemblies of God, the largest Penticostal denomination, is the ninth largest church in the US. Their beliefs are unlikely to raise eyebrows.
I was raised in Baptist, Assembly of God, and Church of God churches. I hated all the hellfire and brimstone crap, not to mention the hypocrisy when my very churchgoing mother was declared a Jezebel by another church member for wearing makeup. For awhile I flirted with Methodism. But eventually and happily converted to Episcopalism. So sensible, I find it, and thoughtful. Most of the time.
So it’s OK to be a whore, an adulterer, a liar, a cheat and an imbecile as long as you love God because all is forgiven? Cool, remind me of that when I die but for now, this Palin bitch needs to slink back to nowhere and tend to her pregnant child and son/grandson.
