Sally Kern Reaps What She Sowed. Peter LaBarbera Wrings His Hands.
By now most of you have heard Sally Kern’s hateful homophobic rant, the transcript of which you can read here. Sally has refused to apologize, refused to meet with protesters and refused to admit she did anything wrong. But now she’s teamed up with the worst of the RRRW homophobes to fight back against those who are protesting against her hate speech. Enter Peter LaBarbera. No longer content to be a mere Concerned Woman for America, Peter decided to indulge full-time in his obsession with gays in a spinoff organization, Americans for (the distortion of) Truth.
Anyway, Peter has posted on his Website some e-mails allegedly forwarded to him by Sally Kern. Allegedly these e-mails were sent to her by angry gay people after they heard her tirade. If they’re real I would think they would be evidence in an ongoing law-enforcement investigation and therefore forwarding them to others would not be legal, and plastering them on a public Website like AFT would be very inappropriate. But then again this is the RRRW we’re talking about here so I am highly skeptical about the validity of any of this to begin with.
Nonetheless I’ll proceed here and just assume that the e-mails in question might be genuine. Otherwise this post won’t go anywhere from here. That being said, let’s move on. ***Warning. Material below contains explicit and threatening language. I’ve censored to some extent what Peter didn’t, but it is still explicit. *** From “Americans for Truth”:
Now for some Real Hate; Homosexuals Deluge Rep. Sally Kern with Mean, Vile Messages
WARNING: VULGAR OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE — UNEDITED
That right there signifies that neither Peter nor Sally recognize in the least that what Sally said was hateful nor harmful. But we’re used to that, aren’t we?

Subject: We All Have Heard.First of all,
Let me start by saying, I am thrilled to know that you are being outed publicly for your wrong doing, and closed minded state of mind. You’re a disgusting human being, and you will receive no respect, from the state of Oklahoma.I am truely [sic] ashamed that a closed minded piece of garbage like yourself represents Oklahoma.
Realize that one day, Gay’s [sic] will dominate this world.
Which will be a blessing, because there will be more peace, justice, and less of pig’s [sic] like yourself.
Please, go kill yourself.
Now assuming these e-mails are real I don’t condone them at all. Hate is hate, and threats are wrong under any and all circumstances. Period. What Sally Kern said was hideous and it’s right to protest it, but wishing harm or death upon her is unacceptable, and threatening her life is beyond reproach.
Now just on the off chance Peter, Sally or any of their ilk are reading this post and clucking their tongues I want to present the counterpoint. Here are some genuine Internet posts from Christians expressing their “deeply held religious beliefs” about gay people.
Homosexuality..
How many times does not the bible say that being gay is wrong?!
God made man, and God made woman. Had God intended that anything else that is what he would have done. His plan was not for two men or two women to be together. I find it disgusting and horribly wrong. Gay people are scum. They are ones who Hitler should have prioritized to get rid of. I’m sorry, but this is just how I feel.Oh well, I guess our time will come with the rapture. Theirs wont…
[In response to a 14 year old homosexual teenager being shot by a fellow schoolmate because of his sexual orientation]
No child is ‘gay’. That’s just the lie the dirty fags tell everybody in a vain and transparent attempt to get away with raping children. Fags are to be put to death.
I don’t really want to buy your site I just wanted to tell you how much of a chickenshit pussy that you are. I do hope, however, that someone slashes your dick off with a buckknife and sticks it down your throat so you will no longer be able to say hateful things against Christians. On second thought, you are probably gay, and already have someone else’s dick in your mouth. If that is the case I hope you get AIDS and die mother fucker! Go to hell and take red-headed faghag cunt Kathy Griffin with you. Goddamn she ia one FUGLY BITCH! I imagine her pussy smells like your ass. Have a good one queerboy.
(So humans are animals? so why dont we just play by the animal way and start eating each other after mating, to have sex every minute of the day like some monkeys?? face it. If we are going to talk about morality you cant go blabbering about reproduction - women arent baby-machines)
This is a weak comparison. Why do you think we are born with the equipment? To use it to spread our genetics.
All gay people should get a Darwin Award.
Marriage is between a man and a woman, its in the bible! And where im from, if we find out that somebody is gay, we Either A: Stay as far away as possible from them, or B: Make their life a living hell…Thats just the way it is where im from, and not only that, its just downright disgusting man.
I feel very sorry for the kids who have gay parents, because they have to witness something that disgusting. I am on the Bible’s side, and that means gay=bad…
There is only 1 gay person (that I know of) that goes to our school, and he openly admitted that he was gay, and im telling you, every guy stays away from him, and beats him up like everyday, and makes fun of him I hate homosexuals with all my heart and nothing/nobody can change my view of them…No offense….
Gays are not welcome in America go to Germany you fags i didnt agree on how hilter tried to kill the Jews but i do agree on how he tried to exterminTe the gays.

Interesting. They don’t seem so very different from those e-mails Peter was rending his garments over. I wonder why that is. It seems that when threats are directed at gay people they’re merely expressions of God’s Word, but otherwise they’re “hate speech”–particularly if they’re directed at Christians. Nothing new here, keep moving.
Again, I in no way condone threats of any nature against anybody. But people like Sally Kern and Peter LaBarbera need to recognize what they say and do is hate speech, not merely expression of religious beliefs. What they say has significant and harmful effects on people. Until they do no progress will be made.
