Dan Savage's perverse and Christianity-mocking speeches, such as one last week in a chapel at Elmhurst College, are shocking mainstream America.

Dan Savage Angrily Rejects Peter LaBarbera’s Request to Take Down “Santorm.com” Hate Site

________________________

They used to arrest middle-aged perverts who get their jollies from talking dirty to children. Today, they get a television show, a nationally syndicated column, a lecture circuit and multiple visits to the Obama White House.

You know: “Forward.”

The irony is palpable. Dan Savage, sex columnist and founder of the LGBT anti-bullying “It Gets Better” campaign, has been outed. Not as a homosexual. He’s out and proud in that regard. In fact, Savage pushes his “anything goes” brand of sexual anarchy on kids worldwide. MTV has even given the sex-obsessed radical his own show, “Savage U” – a moral-relativist platform from which to corrupt the kiddos.

Creepy stuff.

Savage has finally managed to publicly discredit himself as the anti-Christian bigot and bully he’s always been. Never again will this guy be taken seriously as an anti-bullying crusader.

Savage lectures teens in high schools and colleges around the country on the benefits of “non-monogamy,” the occasional “three-way” tryst and any other disease-spreading sexual impulse that might cross their impressionable, hormone-charged young minds (and many they can’t yet imagine).

Well, recently, rather than just shocking his teenaged audience with vulgar, sophomoric psychobabble as usual, Savage apparently thought it’d be fun to bully the kids with whom he disagreed.

While addressing a crowd of hundreds of high schoolers at the National High School Journalism Convention, Savage launched into an unhinged anti-Christian diatribe. He advised the teens to “ignore the [bulls–t] in the Bible” about sexual morality. “We ignore [bulls–t] in the Bible about all sorts of things,” he barked.

He then walked through a list of the same tired left-wing talking points about the Bible – long ago discredited – covering shellfish, virginity, etc. “The Bible is a radically pro-slavery document,” he said (anti-Christian trash we’ve come to expect from the secular Left).

But when a hundred or more kids got up and began to walk out on Savage’s anti-Christian rant, the 47-year-old tough guy turned his hostility toward them. “It’s funny to someone who is on the receiving end of beatings that are justified by the Bible how pansya–ed people react when you push back,” he mocked. Some of the young girls were seen leaving in tears.

“It took a real dark, hostile turn, certainly, as I saw it,” teacher Rick Tuttle told CNN. “It became very hostile toward Christianity, to the point that many students did walk out, including some of my students.

“They felt that they were attacked … a very pointed, direct attack on one particular group of students. It’s amazing that we go to an anti-bullying speech and one group of students is picked on in particular, with harsh, profane language.”

But the only thing surprising is that anyone is surprised. Dan Savage is known in Christian circles as “the gay Fred Phelps.” Phelps, of course, is the similarly cartoonish Westboro Baptist “preacher” who gained notoriety by protesting military funerals with his incestuous brood of pseudo-Christian haters. Savage is Phelps’ photo negative. Whereas Phelps’ hateful mantra is “God hates fags,” Savage’s central message is “I hate God and anyone who loves Him.”

Savage’s primary claim to fame is that he formed the website “Santorum.com,” to create a “Google bomb” that would smear the good name of former senator and presidential candidate Rick Santorum. On the site he redefined the senator’s last name, Santorum, using language so vile and repulsive that I won’t repeat it. When Christian advocate and Americans for Truth founder Peter LaBarbera asked Savage to take down the website, Savage responded, “I’m asking Peter LaBarbera to go f–k himself.”

Savage also once bragged that he licked the doorknobs at former Republican presidential candidate Gary Bauer’s campaign office in hopes of giving Mr. Bauer the flu.

Savage told the Daily Pennsylvanian in 2006 that Carl Romanelli, a U.S. senate candidate he didn’t like, “should be dragged behind a pickup truck until there’s nothing left but the rope.” In the same interview, he opined: “Mr. Romanelli should go f–k himself.” He also once said on HBO that he “wished all Republicans were f–king dead.”

Yep, this deviant troglodyte is the face of the left’s anti-bullying efforts. I’ve often said that those wonderfully “tolerant” liberals – the self-styled opponents of “hate” and “bigotry” – are the most intolerant, hateful bigots among us.

Thanks for proving my point, Dan.

Dear AFTAH Supporter,

The lies from the homosexual activist movement keep coming, and naturally Americans For Truth is a target of them because we’re helping to peel away the “rainbow” veneer to show the ugly reality of homosexual activism.

On Sunday evening (April 29, 2012), I attended the Dan Savage speech at Elmhurst College with Grace Gospel Fellowship pastor John Kirkwood and a few other hardy Christians. (The chapel was packed, mostly with Savage supporters, many of them students.) What ensued was shocking, unless you are familiar with the hard-cored homosexual activism. Needless to say, Savage gave the type of profane, Christianity-bashing speech for which he has become notorious — in a chapel, no less. [Please watch our video excerpt, "Savaging the Pope!" and then "Like" it on the AFTAH YouTube page. AFTAH will be releasing further video excerpts of the talk.]

I was prepared for the foul-mouthed, anti-Christian barbs (e.g., “What the pope is saying [regarding the threat of "gay marriage"] is that the only thing that stands between my [d**k] and Brad Pitt’s mouth is a piece of paper”…), but not for what happened next: after I asked Savage a critical question in the Q&A (about his nasty hate-site, “Santorum[dot]com”), I was kicked out of the event by Elmhurst College security. This happened after the woman sitting next to me committed an act that can fairly be described as the sort of thing that, well… that a bully would do. Read on after the jump in this version of a note I sent to pro-family leaders explaining the incident.

_______________________

‘Gay’ Bullies Spread Lies

Here is a excellent illustration of the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) Lobby’s tendency to lie and “project” their misdeeds on to their critics – from Dan Savage’s Elmhurst College talk Sunday evening [see AFTAH video, "Savaging the Pope," from a portion of Dan's crude and deceitful speech]. During the Q&A, I challenged Savage about his vile creation, “Santorum.com,” targeting Rick Santorum. (He said intolerance of intolerance is tolerable and that he will never take it down.)

Then, after trying to defend Family Research Council President Tony Perkins (and all of us) against the wicked charge by Savage that we WANT “gay” kids harmed, I walked back to my pew seat — with some in the overwhelmingly pro-Savage crowd at Elmhurst College’s Hammerschmidt Memorial Chapel jeering at me. As I walked back, I saw my coat and papers in the aisle across from where I’d been sitting. Turns out that the woman who was sitting next to me — to whom I had not uttered a single word — had thrown my coat and notebook into the aisle of the chapel! Tolerance? Bullying?…

When I picked up my belongings, I elected to go back to my pew seat rather than just leave — Why reward her hateful act? I thought; besides, I wanted to hear the rest of the Q&A with Savage. At that point, an Elmhurst security official approached me and said I could not sit down and he escorted me out of the building under the threat of force. I tried to appeal to him that I only wanted to hear the Q&A, and that it was the woman who should be punished, not me. He was unmoved and said he would deal with her next.

Then a new lie began: that I somehow disrupted the presentation and harassed the woman! Here is a homosexual website (Back2Stonewall) spreading that same misinformation. Note that this homosexual writer left out my tweets answering Savage’s misinformation about ME being “belligerent” (he cited a conversation with a security cop, who, in all fairness to Savage, may have just lied about what transpired to cover his tracks).

The bottom line is we do not expect Truth from a movement that is built upon lies. This mini smear is a side-story; the far more important falsehoods are the ones promoted by Savage and others like him:

• that kids need to embrace homosexuality; that “being gay” is “who they are”;
• that Christianity’s and the Bible’s counsel against homosexual sin should be ignored;
• that efforts to help people overcome homosexual temptation are harmful, and that homosexuals cannot change;
• that homosexual activists like Savage know what’s best for “LGBT” youth more than their parents;
• and that pro-family advocates like Tony Perkins and myself want to harm children.

If only we could get the average American to understand the falsehoods, dirty tricks, and viciousness of the homosexual militants. At least Savage is helping with that…. — Peter LaBarbera, www.aftah.org

P.S. Life does have surprises. Just before publishing this article, I checked out the aforementioned “gay” Back2Stonewall site and noticed that a homosexual advocate is confirming my side of the story. And even though “Lee” continues to refer to me by the hateful nickname created by homosexual militants (“Porno Pete”), I am gratified that he chose to nip this particular lie in the bud. Lee writes:

By Peter LaBarbera

Talk about chutzpah: homosexual militant Dan Savage — creator of the despicable hate-site “Santorum.com” — has issued a public challenge to document his “hate speech.”

Yes, you read that correctly: only in the upside-down world of “gay” activism would a man who notoriously and proudly ”re-defined” Rick Santorum’s last name as “The frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the by-product of anal sex” — issue a challenge to find the hatred in his recorded words.

But here’s the kicker: at least one of the videos containing some of Savage’s rancorous attacks on Christians was taken down a few days ago, and remains down today (April 26, 2012).

Increasingly, conservatives (like Gina Miller) are paying attention to Savage, who despite his cruel antics and anti-Christian barbs continues to be lauded in media and academic circles. He even has his own, brand new show on MTV, about sex on college campuses. If there is anything that testifies to the sham of the liberal crusade against (ostensibly right-wing Christian) “hate” and “bullying,” it is the media’s, academia’s and pop culture’s rewarding of cyber-bully Savage.

Hiding his hate?

When my friend and Illinois Family Institute writer Laurie Higgins wrote a piece about Savage’s upcoming speeech at Elmurst College (Sunday, April 29, 2012 at 7:00; contact Elmhurst HERE), it appeared to Laurie (and to me) that Savage had responded to her article by removing one of more of his anti-evangelical-Christian videos from YouTube. Caught up in a moment of “gotcha,” on Thursday I tweeted Savage about allegedly “scrubbing” his videos. “Who’s the ‘pansy’ now, Dan?” I asked, referencing his taunt against offended Christian students who walked out on a recent Bible-bashing talk by Savage in Seattle. (And in deference to Savage, I’d have been fairer by simply asking him if he spiked the videos.)

On Thursday, Savage responded on his The Stranger blog that he did not take down any of his videos. Rather, his video production company, Hypomania, did, and not to hide any of Savage’s hateful comments but for “quality control reasons” (e.g, bad lighting). As he did on Twitter (see graphic above), Savage accused me of lying. amidst other silly charges (e.g., “fantasizing” about his perverted sex life when all I did was expose his admitted “three ways”). And he challenged me and others to point out the “hate speech” in his videos.

Savage writes:

The titles of some of the other videos that Hypomania pulled down in the last couple of days: “Dan Savage on Getting Your Partner in the Mood,” “Dan Savage on Whether to Stop Cheating if Your Spouse Doesn’t Know,” “Dan Savage at Manitoba: Is It Normal for a Girl Not to Bleed the First Time,” “Dan Savage at Rhodes: When Will CNN and MSNBC Stop Giving Air Time to Anti-gay Bigots,” “Dan Savage on the Elasticity of Vaginas.” Search for any of these videos and you’ll get the same “removed by user” message the haters were getting when they went looking for “How to Come Out to Your Evangelical Family.” Clearly Hypomania wasn’t removing videos that took on anti-gay “Christian” haters and leaving up the perverted stuff. They were weeding out videos that of poor quality (bad lighting, bad sound), not “scrubbing” the Interwebs.

Here’s the problem: Savage identifies the WRONG video (“How to Come Out to your Evangelical Family”) as the source of his hateful remarks against Family Research Council president Tony Perkins and evangelicals who oppose homosexulity.

Did Savage or his video company scrub his site?
Higgins provided AFTAH with the following statement, in response to Savage’s claim that he is not trying to hide his hateful videos:

With Bill Clinton-esque rhetorical slipperiness, Dan Savage responds to my criticism of his anti-Christian hate speech by citing a video from which I did not quote and to which I did not provide a link in either of my two articles this week. About that video, he asks the following: “[S]ee if you can detect hate speech, ‘virulent anti-Christian bigotry,’ or ‘language so hateful’ that I make ‘Reverend Fred Phelps look like a choir boy’ in my advice to gay kids with evangelical Christian parents.”

Dan Savage claims that the video I was referring to when providing evidence that he exhibits virulent anti-Christian bigotry using hateful language was the video about homosexuals coming out to their Evangelical families. Of course, that is an offensive video, but it isn’t the one from which I quoted.

The video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrEsHtSSWfs&feature=related (now removed) from which I quoted and to which I provided a link was a video from a speaking engagement at Rhodes College.

By directing attention to a video that I did not quote from or link to in either of this week’s articles, Savage maladroitly attempts to divert attention away from the adjectives he used to describe orthodox Christians and which I quoted several times in this week’s articles.

The question Savage needs to answer is: Did he describe orthodox Christians (those who hold traditional, historical biblical views on the nature and morality of homosexuality) as “bat shit,” “asshole,” “douchebags” while speaking at Rhodes College?

Savage reports that the video production service he uses, Hypomania Content, removed six of his videos purportedly due to their “poor quality” rather than their “content.” It’s completely understandable that Hypomania Content would want only “high quality” obscene and perverse videos from Dan Savage gamboling about the Internet.

Common sense dictates that Savage put up all the videos Higgins and others have referenced that were taken down — especially his Rhodes College talk (which at press time Sunday was still down) — so we can evaluate Higgins’ assertion that he called Perkins and other evangelicals “douchbags,” etc.

I will take Savage at his word that he is not running from his open (very public) record, which includes an abundant supply of malicious attacks against people of faith. Now let’s see the proof by restoring the blocked videos so we can accurately answer his challenge.

Meanwhile, here is an excerpt from an excellent American Centurion column by Gina Miller — who is a MUST READ for anyone concerned about the future of America. God bless. — Peter LaBarbera, www.aftah.org

Gina Miller writes in The American Clarion (excepts follow):

“Homosexual Radical Dan Savage Bullies High Schoolers”

The Word of God has warned us, so we are not surprised when people inspired by the forces of darkness screech and wail against God’s Truth.  Some of the most vicious, anti-Christian, anti-truth people in the world are the radical, homosexual activists, and among them, not many are as vile as Dan Savage.

Savage is a twisted, sex columnist who started the “It Gets Better Project,” a propaganda tool targeting kids, which pushes the homosexual lifestyle on them under the guise of an “anti-bullying” campaign.

From their website is this description,

“The It Gets Better Project was created to show young LGBT people the levels of happiness, potential, and positivity their lives will reach – if they can just get through their teen years. The It Gets Better Project wants to remind teenagers in the LGBT community that they are not alone — and it WILL get better.”

That is a damnable lie.  Numerous studies have shown that depression, drug abuse and suicide rates for homosexuals are much higher than among the normal population—yes, I said “normal”!  It is detestable to lie to young people, encouraging them to embrace homosexuality, claiming it will make them happy in the long run.

At the About.com website is a report from 2008 which states, in part,

“According to a new study, which analyzed 25 earlier studies regarding sexual orientation and mental health, homosexuals and bisexuals are about 50% more likely than their heterosexual counterparts to suffer from depression and abuse drugs.

The researchers also found that the risk of suicide jumped over 200% for those who had engaged in a homosexual lifestyle.”

The column goes on to quote the lead researcher on the study who blames bullying and lack of social acceptance for those increased problems among the homosexual population.

That is not the real reason.  When a person violates God’s natural order for human behavior, whether it is through sexual deviancy or any other sinful behavior which runs counter to God’s natural law, that person will invariably be miserable.  All manner of sinful behavior leaves the person who engages in it unhappy and unfulfilled—at the very least.  This is especially true of homosexuality, which God has described as abominable and detestable to Him.

Dan Savage, the vicious homosexual radical who has said the most despicable things about those who disagree with him, was giving a speech last Friday in Seattle.

As reported by Focus on the Family’s CitizenLink,

“A group of high school journalism students attending a conference called ‘Journalism on the Edge’ in Seattle over the weekend felt they were pushed over the edge by syndicated sex advice columnist Dan Savage.

Savage, the creator of the two-year-old It Gets Better Project, which encourages teens struggling with same-sex attractions to embrace homosexuality, was invited to give a keynote address last Friday at the JEA/NSPA National High School Journalism Convention.

Students were expecting him to talk about bullying. But they also got an earful about birth control, sex, and Savage’s opinions on the Bible.

A 17-year-old from California who was attending with half a dozen other students from her high school yearbook staff, was one of several students to walk out in the middle of Savage’s speech.

‘The first thing he told the audience was, ‘I hope you’re all using birth control!’’ she recalled. Then ‘he said there are people using the Bible as an excuse for gay bullying, because it says in Leviticus and Romans that being gay is wrong. Right after that, he said we can ignore all the ‘B.S.’ in the Bible.’

‘I was thinking, ‘This is not going a good direction at all,’ Then he started going off about the Bible. He said somehow the Bible was pro-slavery. I’m really shy. I’m not really someone to, like, stir up anything. But all of a sudden I just blurted out, ‘That’s bull!’

As she and several other students walked out of the auditorium, Savage noticed them leaving and called them ‘pansies.’”

This freak is speaking to high school kids!  This man who is supposedly an anti-bullying crusader is perhaps the biggest bully out there.  For him to go before these kids and say these kinds of things, to call Bible-believing high school students “pansies” is sickening, but I suppose that is his goal—to sicken those who oppose his hellish message.

Savage certainly has a record of saying things that would make the ancient, smoking-grease-spot-residents of Sodom and Gomorrah proud.  Savage has invited former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain to perform oral sex on him.  He has wished all Republicans were “f-ing dead.”  He has said things about Rick Santorum that I cannot easily describe, because they are so heinous, and through all of it, Savage is lauded and uplifted by Hollywood celebrities and media minions of Hell.  Even Barack Obama (or whatever his name is) has lent his support for Savage’s “It Gets Better Project.”

Of all the reprehensible things Dan Savage says and does, the most sinister part of his sodomite crusade is his targeting of children.  Jesus has very strong words for those who would hurt children and cause them to stumble.

As Peter LaBarbera, President of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality, points out,

“Savage is probably the leading activist today working to normalize homosexuality to children and young people – one of the most evil things any person can do (because sexual sin is destructive and our Creator calls homosexual behavior ‘detestable’).  Jesus hates the corruption of youth: ‘Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him [if] a great millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea.’ (Mark 9:42).  Now Savage has his own show on MTV (‘Savage U,’ beginning April 3), which could become another huge platform to degrade kids’ morals.”

People who peddle perversion to our kids will one day pay a terrible, unimaginable price if they do not turn from their wicked ways and embrace the free gift of salvation offered by Jesus.

By preying on children, people like Dan Savage become the most despicable among us.  He offers children and young adults lies from Hell when he encourages them to embark on a homosexual lifestyle that he assures will make them happy.  He lies when he says that people who speak out against homosexuality are “bullies” and “bigots.”  As I have pointed out before, the “anti-bullying” campaign is nothing more than the latest platform of the radical homosexual Left to indoctrinate our school kids with their perverse agenda and to gain more young recruits into their dead-end, homosexual club.

People like Dan Savage are only offering Hell on a silver platter to vulnerable, impressionable kids, and one day he will be sorry for doing so.  But, thankfully there are many Jewish and Christian warriors who offer real help and real hope to people of all ages who may be dealing with unwanted same-sex attraction.  Groups like Jonah International, Positive Alternatives to Homosexuality (P.A.T.H), Exodus International and others provide truthful answers and support for those desiring to fight and overcome same-sex attraction. ….

I am in North Carolina to give a speech tomorrow evening in Raleigh at a banquet for the NC Family Policy Council, a fine organization that defends marriage and family in this beautiful state.  Thanks to the Republicans taking control of the NC legislature, on May 8th, North Carolina’s voters will finally get an opportunity to affirm real marriage (one man, one woman) at the ballot box.  I predict they will do so, but the “Gay”  Lobby — intent on pushing for sodomy-based “marriage” — is raising tons of money to defeat the amendment.  So please help by contacting your North Carolina friends and family members!

1. Savage is probably the leading activist today working to normalize homosexuality to children and young people – one of the most evil things any person can do (because sexual sin is destructive and our Creator calls homosexual behavior “detestable”).  Jesus hates the corruption of youth: “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him it a great millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea.” (Mark 9:42).  Now Savage has his own show on MTV (“Savage U,” beginning April 3), which could become another huge platform to degrade kids’ morals.  [TAKE ACTION: Go HERE to contact Viacom Inc. (MTV's parent company).  Also, don't let up on Elmhurst College (Savage speaks there April 29) and UNC-Chapel Hill (contact info for both HERE)];
2. Savage avidly promotes radical homosexual patterns of immorality — like “outside” sex — to “straight” married couples.  You would expect this from perversion defenders, but he takes it to new extremes, aggressively touting adulterous “monogamish” relationships that mock the age-old ideal of lifelong fidelity in marriage. Of course, secular media types help advance Savage’s wicked ideas (see this NY Tiimes piece on the supposed “Virtues of Infidelity”);

• Savage is an aggressively anti-Christian activist who uses cyber-hate to demonize people of faith like Rick Santorum as hateful “bigots.”  Who could even make up something as perverse and evil as “Santorum[dot]com”?   Nobody.  Again, Savage takes his pathological anti-conservative-Christian bigotry to new lows with such vile campaigns.  We can’t let him get away with it;
• Better than most on the Left, Savage illustrates the grand hypocrisy and mocking spirit of Libertine Leftists.  They smear moral-minded Americans as prudish “haters” when NOBODY is as hateful and mean-spirited as they are.  Moreover, like so many on the Left, Savage mocks biblical morality and sneers at its defenders — with a snarky arrogance that will do him no good when he meets his Maker.  This is the zeitgeist of our age: understand Savage and you understand “post-Christian” America’s deep moral and spiritual crisis;
• Lastly, the liberal media and Hollywood are setting themselves up by REWARDING Savage despite his malicious activism.  Modern liberals love anyone who promotes homosexuality to young people, which Savage does through his media-celebrated “It Gets Better” campaign.  So these social regressives ignore, tolerate or giggle at Savage’s shockingly twisted antics while giving legitimacy to his fringe sexual ideas.  (Then the same Cultural Elites thrash Rush Limbaugh whenever he makes a mistake!)  We at AFTAH are not going to let cynical, secular opinion-makers forget their double-standard and their awful hypocrisy.

It seems almost everyone in America is afraid of homosexual militants and unwilling to tell the truth about the role that “proud homosexuality” is playing in our dying culture.  AFTAH is not.  We go toe-to-toe with these outrageous ideological thugs and their enablers because if they win, America loses.  The Dan Savage’s of this world are putting confused and impressionable youth on the path to hell, literally.  We must do more than wring our hands about it!  Thank you for standing with us! — Peter LaBarbera, www.aftah.org

AFTAH’s Latest Christian Newswire Release:

Read this release at AFTAH:  http://americansfortruth.com/2012/03/27/unc-chapel-hill-publicly-disassociates-from-rush-limbaugh-but-pays-18500-in-speaker-fees-to-hateful-homosexual-cyber-bully-dan-savage/

Dan Savage's hateful web creation, "Santorum.com." Click to enlarge. On Feb. 2, UNC-Chapel Hill paid Savage $18,500 to speak to students. The same unversity publicly disassociated itself from Rush Limbaugh over his "offensive statements."

AFTAH-North Carolina

Press Release, March 27, 2012

Contact: Peter LaBarbera:  americansfortruth@gmail.com

RALEIGH, NC – University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill paid $18,5000 to homosexual activist Dan Savage – creator of a vile hate-site “re-defining” Rick Santorum’s last name as the by-product of anal sex – as a guest speaker, just weeks before publicly disassociating from Rush Limbaugh over Rush’s “offensive statements” about Sandra Fluke.

Last week, UNC-Chapel Hill announced that it was banning a local “Rush Radio” station, WRDU, from mentioning Limbaugh’s show during broadcasts of Tar Heel basketball and football games. The university, citing Rush’s “rude, inappropriate and offensive statements” about Fluke, also prohibits WRDU from referencing UNC or the Tar Heel Sports Network during Limbaugh’s daily talk show.

Americans For Truth has written UNC-Chapel Hill officials to ask how they can justify paying a large sum to Savage, who once wished death on all Republicans and who regularly and crudely demonizes religious conservatives. AFTAH also asked UNC to repudiate Savage for his “offensive statements,” and invite a pro-family speaker to campus specifically to balance his appearance.

The following typifies Savage’s unique brand of conservative-Christian-bashing hate:

• Savage said on HBO that he “wished [Republicans] were all [f—king] dead” (he later apologized).
• Savage’s creation “Santorum[dot] com” (and “SpreadingSantorum[dot]com”) “re-define” Santorum’s surname as follows: “San-TOR-um, n. The frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the by-product of anal sex.”
• In contrast to Limbaugh, who quickly apologized for his remarks about Fluke, when AFTAH’s President Peter LaBarbera asked Savage to take down “Santorum[dot]com,” he responded : “I’m asking Peter LaBarbera to go [f- -k] himself.”
• Savage mocked the pope as “the dope in Rome”;
• So consumed was Savage with hatred for then-GOP presidential candidate Gary Bauer that he traveled to Iowa to pose as a Bauer volunteer, then got sick himself and began licking campaign office doorknobs, staplers, etc., in an attempt to give Bauer a cold.

AFTAH also condemns Savage, a raunchy sex columnist, for his reckless sexual advice, which includes urging married couples to allow outside sex. AFTAH urges MTV to cancel “Savage U,” a new TV show debuting April 3, featuring Savage visiting college campuses — so as not to reward him for his cyber-bullying against Santorum and history of hateful acts against Christian conservatives.

Dan Savage, creater of the hate-site, "Santorum.com."

I provided the wrong number in yesterday’s (March 22, 2012) AFTAH e-mail for University of North Carolina President Tom Ross. The correct number is 919-962-4622. His e-mail is tomross@northcarolina.edu.  Sorry about that error.  Within the next few days, please contact Mr. Ross and UNC-Chapel Hill Chancellor Holden Thorp [holden@unc.edu; (919)962-1365)] about UNC-Chapel Hill’s payment of $18,500 to perverted homosexual cyber-bully Dan Savage, creator of the vile “Santorum[dot]com.” [See yesterday's AFTAH press release on Savage and MTV HERE.]  And please forward this e-mail to any friends you have in North Carolina.

Also, there is a new wrinkle to this story.  As you can read below, UNC Chapel Hill has just issued a statement disconnecting itself from theRush Limbaugh in response to offensive comments Rush made about Sandra Fluke (for which he quickly apologized).  Yet UNC paid $18,500 to Dan Savage, who once said, “I wish [Republicans] were all [f---king] dead.” [Watch it HERE.]  Isn’t it fascinating how the entire Left and many in the media are up in arms over Rush yet strangely silent about the vitriol and viciousness emanating from the Left?

AFTAH is educating UNC officials about Savage’s “rude, inappropriate and offensive” statements — which include his notorious creation, “Santorum[dot]com,” which “re-defines” Rick Santorum’s surname as follows:

santorum: (san TOR um) n. the frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the by-product of anal sex.

TAKE ACTION: Dan Savage is the personification of Homosexual Hate — yet he is being celebrated in Hollywood and the “mainstream” media despite his cruel activism against Rick Santorum — and his reckless advice CONDONING “outside sex” in marriage.  Sadly, Savage is also booking lucrative speaking gigs at college campuses like UNC-Chapel Hill (where he got an $18,500 speaking fee!) and Elmhurst College in Illinois (on April 29th).  For now, please take the following actions [always ASK FOR A WRITTEN RESPONSE and send us a copy at americansfortruth@gmail.com]:

• Contact Viacom, owner of MTV, and ask them to cancel the MTV show “Savage U”: http://www.viacom.com/Contact/Pages/default.aspx [see AFTAH press release below]

• (Especially ILLINOIS residents) Contact Elmhurst College and ask them to cancel the April 29th speaking appearance of Dan Savage,  creator of the vile and malicious hate-site, “Santorum[dot]com”: President S. Alan Ray [president@elmhurst.edu;  630-617-3100].  Ask to leave Pres. Ray a message and request a response.  Here is link for other Elmhurst officials.  NOTE: you may want to tell them to visit “Santorum[dot]com” and see if they are proud to be welcoming Savage to campus;

• (Especially NORTH CAROLINA residents) Contact UNC officials and ask them why they spent $18,500 in student fees for an unrepentant cyber bully (and open perversion advocate) like Dan Savage to influence the student body.  1) Contact UNC-Chapel Hill Chancellor Holden Thorp [holden@unc.edu; (919)962-1365)]; 2) Contact UNC President Tom Ross (who presides over all the UNC chancellors) at tomross@northcarolina.edu (919)962-4622:

Radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh recently made rude, inappropriate and offensive statements. And we at Carolina found ourselves unfortunately and awkwardly connected to Limbaugh.

Limbaugh’s show airs locally on a station that also broadcasts UNC basketball and football games. That connection spurred many people to email us and prompted a petition campaign, both with the goal of urging us to drop our broadcasts from the station.

As background, Carolina Athletics has a contract with Tar Heel Sports Properties, a division of Learfield Sports. Learfield owns and operates the Tar Heel Sports Radio Network as an independent contractor of the University. The radio network includes over 50 affiliates, and that network enables people in almost all of North Carolina to listen to the live broadcasts of our football and basketball games. That’s our goal … for Carolina fans to be able hear our games.

We have not affiliated with or endorsed Rush Limbaugh or any other radio personality or politician. We have asked – and the local station has agreed – to end the practice of referencing the Tar Heel Sports Network or the University’s name while promoting the Limbaugh program and vice versa.

Beyond that, the University does not plan to take any additional action at this time.

AFTAH Calls on Viacom Inc. to Cancel ‘Savage U,’ New MTV Show Featuring Perverted Cyber-Bully Dan Savage

CHICAGO – MTV – owned by Viacom Inc. – should cancel its upcoming TV show “Savage U,” featuring homosexual activist and raunchy sex-advice columnist Dan Savage — in part because it rewards the cyber-bully Savage for his notorious and vile internet smear-campaign against Rick Santorum, said Peter LaBarbera, president of Americans For Truth About Homosexuality.

“Savage U” is scheduled to debut Tuesday, April 3. MTV describes the show: “Dan Savage and his producer travel around the country to give advice about sex, relationships and romance with college students.” The trailer reveals a program as crude, vulgar and perverted as the host’s weekly sex-advice column, “Savage Love.”

Said LaBarbera: “There are two main reasons why MTV and its parent company Viacom should cancel Dan Savage’s new show about sex on college campuses: Number One: Dan Savage is a radical and raunchy homosexual activist who gives unhealthy and reckless sex advice. He aggressively works to undermine the historic ethic of marital fidelity by championing the twisted notion that married couples should allow outside sex – like so many ‘monogamish’ homosexual male couples do. Incredibly, Savage argues that this would lower the divorce rate.”

“Number Two: Savage is an unrepentant cyber-bully who has led a worldwide internet campaign to demonize and destroy Rick Santorum’s name — creating ‘Santorum[dot]com’ to ‘re-define’ it as the revolting by-product of anal sex. He should NOT be rewarded for this evil crusade, nor held up as a role-model for young people.

When LaBarbera asked Savage to take down his hate-site targeting the former Pennsylvania senator, he responded on Twitter: “I’m asking Peter LaBarbera to go [f- -k] himself.”

LaBarbera is asking concerned Americans to contact Viacom Inc. and urge it to cancel “Savage U” for the sake of not corrupting young people’s morals, and because the show rewards a bully.

In addition, AFTAH will expose colleges like UNC-Chapel Hill and Elmhurst College that are paying Savage to be a guest speaker ($18,500 at UNC).

“Liberals evidently have a double-standard on hate,” LaBarbera said. “On the one hand, they rightfully condemn those who bully homosexual youth, while on the other hand the creator of a malicious hate-site – “Santorum[dot]com” – gets rewarded with his own MTV show and lucrative speaking engagements on college campuses.”

WARNING: Graphic descriptions

This is Part Four of our interview with Patrick Wooden [Click HERE to listen], pastor of the Upper Room Church of God in Christ, based in Raleigh, North Carolina. This was pre-recorded and aired February 4, 2012. Wooden and AFTAH President Peter LaBarbera are joined in this discussion by DL Foster, founder of Gay Christian Movement Watch, based in Atlanta. Homosexual activists have sought to make fun of Wooden for describing in these AFTAH interviews) the body-destroying perversions associated with male homosexuality. But LaBarbera, noting that the Homosexual Lobby a “sin movement,” says one would expect it to yield heinous perversions like “fisting,” rimming and “water sports” (“gay” slang for men urinating on and in one another for sexual pleasure).

Foster says that the portrayal of himself, Wooden and other Black leaders who participated in AFTAH’s Jan. 17 press conference [click HERE for audio] outside the Southern Poverty Law Center headquarters as somehow being controlled by “white organizers” “highlights the high level of racist arrogance inside the homosexual movement” – which he said he experienced when he was active as a homosexual. “The white gay movement needs to deal with its own latent racism,” he said.  Wooden said he’s never been called “Nigger” so much (by white “gay” activists) than since his interviews with AFTAH went public.

Foster and LaBarbera talk about the case of Jesse Dirkhising, a 13-year-old Arkansas boy who was raped and grotesquely sodomized in 1999 by two older homosexual men who left him for dead after drugging, gagging and penetrating him with foreign objects including a cucumber.

Wooden discusses the pastors’ press conference that he led denouncing the Southern Poverty Law Center’s “hate group” smear-campaign against pro-family groups, including Americans For Truth. Wooden addresses some of the homosexual activist criticisms of Part One of this interview – in which he touched on the destructive effects of practicing sodomitic perversion (which, he said, should not be compared to skin color). LaBarbera references a Wikipedia entry on “fecal incontinence” that cites this 1993 study on the ill effects of anal sex. They talk about the SPLC’s racist-tinged release on the AFTAH protest. And when Wooden brings up the heinous “gay” sex practice of “fisting,” LaBarbera recalls the 2000 Massachusetts “Fistgate” scandal at a conference sponsored by the Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network – in which homosexual youth were given verbal “how-to” instructions by adults on “fisting” (hand-arm-rectal “sex”). LaBarbera notes that GLSEN never issued a sincere, strong apology for the incident — and the media double standard that excuses and ignores scandals on the Left.

Dan Savage's evil creation. This graphic appears on the website, Santorum.com. This graphic was creaed in April 2011, reflecting fewer "likes." the number as of Jan. 5, 2012 reached 52,274.

CHICAGO – Peter LaBarbera, president of Americans For Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH), today urged homosexual activist and writer Dan Savage to take down his notorious and vulgar anti-Rick Santorum website — Santorum.com — which diabolically “redefines” the presidential candidate’s last name as follows:

“Santorum: 1. The frothy mix of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the by-product of anal sex.”

LaBarbera issued the following open appeal to Savage and the media:

Today, I appeal to homosexual activist Dan Savage: take down your anti-Rick Santorum hate-site, Santorum.com.

Admittedly, it seems ludicrous to appeal to man who would go to such hateful lengths to sabotage religious conservatives that he would intentionally try to give a Republican presidential candidate a cold (Gary Bauer, 2000), or use Google to demonize an opponent in such a despicable way. Nevertheless, I make the appeal because bullying is bullying, and it must stop.

We get it, Dan, you HATE Rick Santorum, and you want to punish him for comments he made about the Supreme Court’s decision legalizing sodomy. But as a prolific writer and advocate, surely you have abundant opportunities to address Santorum’s arguments civilly — without resorting to cruel, twisted campaigns designed to destroy a man’s name and reputation by associating it with perversion.

“Santorum.com” (like its malevolent cousin, “Spreading Santorum”) is advanced cyber-bullying, pure and simple. You are a role model for “gay” youth, and your “It Gets Better” video campaign to help kids overcome bullying in their teen years has gained international attention. Yet bizarrely, with apparent ends-justifies-the-means rationale, you yourself have employed heinous bullying methods to malign Mr. Santorum – tactics you would strongly condemn if used against a self-identified “gay” kid. [AFTAH opposes all bullying of youth without regard to special criteria; we disagree with the “It Gets Better” campaign because it seeks to normalize homosexuality and celebrate immoral LGBT identities.]

Is this the lesson you want to teach young people? That if they encounter a person who disagrees with homosexual behavior, it’s OK to use the slimiest tactics imaginable to go after that person?

You and your homosexual partner have an adopted son. What did or will you tell him about Santorum.com? Have you no compassion for Rick Santorum’s wife, children and extended family, who too must bear the brunt of your high-tech smear?And to the media I ask this: please hold Dan Savage and his homosexual and liberal supporters accountable for this heinous and malicious web slander. Stop joking about it, and do not act as if Rick Santorum’s “Google problem” just appeared out of nowhere. This is calculated character assassination engineered by a “gay” activist who, ironically, crusades against hate. Do not reward Savage with media appearances. In fact, treat him as you would, say, a deranged, far-right activist who had created “BarbaraBoxer[dot]com” and “redefined” her name in a similarly evil manner.

Dan Savage

Because the media is, basically, a big “gay” cheerleader, Dan Savage still gets “mainstream” media attention. But this video is exactly the sort of thing that the pro-family movement needs (in droves) to fight our way back on the homosexual issue and energize our Truth warriors!  PLEASE make an extra effort to show it to as many family members, friends and co-workers as possible. — Peter LaBarbera, www.aftah.org  [more info below the YouTube]

WORDS MATTER ... Says the logo for the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. So why does GLAAD honor a hateful homosexual bloger, Joe Jervis, who routinely mocks Christians (he uses the atheist term "Jeebus") and vilifies pro-family conservatives with crude putdowns?

News Release

Americans For Truth About Homosexuality

April 20, 2011

Contact: Peter LaBarbera: americansfortruth@gmail.com

CHICAGO, Illinois — Peter LaBarbera, president of Americans For Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH), today assailed the blatant hypocrisy of GLAAD, a homosexual “anti-defamation” organization, for giving an award to Joe Jervis – who runs a viciously anti-Christian blog.

GLAAD (Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) gave its 2011 Media Award for “Outstanding Blog” to Jervis, a New York-based homosexual atheist and creator of the blog “Joe.My.God.” – a daily compilation of homosexuality-related news. JMG is filled with name-calling and nasty barbs directed especially at religious conservatives who oppose homosexuality.

GLAAD holds itself up as the arbiter of tolerance and recently announced its partnership with the Los Angeles Lakers to create “positive,” pro-homosexual messaging in the wake of Kobe Bryant’s use of an anti-homosexual slur during a game.

Jervis calls former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum "Frothy Mix" -- repeating the smear of another homosexual cyber-hater, Dan Savage. The latter was upset at then-Sen. Santorum's comments critical of a Supreme Court decision against sodomy laws -- so he "re-defined" Santorum's last name as the vile by-product of sodomy. The above screen-shot from the Savage's "Santorm.com" website was taken April 19, 2011.

But if GLAAD, like AFTAH, is against hateful name-calling (AFTAH has condemned Fred Phelps of “God Hates Fags” notoriety), then it is curious that it chose to honor Jervis – who routinely mocks Christians using cruel, de-humanizing rhetoric. For example, Jervis routinely uses the atheist term “Jeebus” in the place of Jesus to mock Christians, as he did recently with African-American ex-lesbian Linda Jernigan.

Jervis delights in referring to former Senator and potential GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum as “Frothy Mix” – repeating a malevolent smear concocted by another Christian-bashing homosexual activist, Dan Savage, who meanly “redefined” Santorum’s last name as the filthy byproduct of anal sex.

Said LaBarbera: “GLAAD’s slogan is ‘words and images matter.’ We at AFTAH agree. Jervis’ published words reveal him to be an inflammatory, anti-Christian bigot who resorts to ‘defamatory’ smears, lies and despicable, crude putdowns to belittle people of faith. (Jervis smears LaBarbera as “Porno Pete,” falsely implying he is homosexual.)

“Apparently GLAAD’s leaders despise critics of homosexuality so much that they fail to see the irony of an ‘anti-defamation’ group rewarding an abject hater like Joe Jervis who — rather than engage in civil discourse about ideas — uses gutter code words like ‘Jeebus’ to malign opponents.” LaBarbera said. “GLAAD’s hypocrisy is right up there with homosexual activists lobbying against the hiring of African American Crystal Dixon — in the name of LGBT ‘civil rights, diversity and nondiscrimination.’

“Through its Media Award, GLAAD joins itself at the hip with Jervis’ brand of malicious, demeaning, anti-religious bigotry,” LaBarbera said. “This is the flip side of GLAAD’s ongoing campaign to shut down the voices of pro-family Christians – e.g., ex-“gay” Americans like Richard Cohen – from being heard in the media.

Joe Jervis

“Americans must learn the truth about GLAAD’s absurdly two-faced ‘anti-defamation’ charade,” he said. “This same media-coddled organization that tenaciously pursues anyone who ‘defames’ homosexuals — or dares to challenge homosexual activist assumptions – honors hate-filled extremists like Jervis who cruelly vilify pro-family conservatives, to the point of ridiculing Jesus Christ Himself and ‘re-naming’ a Catholic ex-Senator as the vile by-product of homosexual sodomy.”

By Peter LaBarbera

When it comes to corrections, this one is “So Gay”! – which is to say, you couldn’t make this stuff up if you tried: Dan (“Saliva Terrorist”) Savage, homosexual activist, cyber-slanderer extraordinaire and big-city sex advice columnist, caught me in a technicality in AFTAH’s piece a few weeks back about his extended and fawning interview with the Chicago public TV station WTTW’s program “Chicago Tonight.” I was mistaken: Savage and his homosexual partner (“husband”) Terry did not have two “three-way” sex encounters with “strange” men, as I had written — but rather each time with a guy whom they knew. 

Savage, a leading homosexual adoption advocate and the author of ”The Kid: What Happened after My Boyfriend and I Decided to Get Pregnant,” writes on his blog:

Correcting the Record

My husband and I have never had a threeway with a “stranger,” Porno Pete [smear term for Peter LaBarbera]. But if you prefer to picture the two of us getting with hot, sweaty, well-hung strangers when you’re drafting a post/rubbing one out/living vicariously though us, go for it.

As for my marriage—my monogamish marriage—it’s lasted twice as long as Ronald Reagan’s first marriage, longer than all but one of Newt Gingrich’s three marriages (and soon it will have lasted longer than all three of Newt’s marriages), and much, much longer than any one of Rush Limbaugh’s four marriages.

So forgive me, Porno Pete, but I kinda maybe think the two of us—me and the husband, still crazy in love after all these years—just might be doing something right.

Now, leaving aside Savage’s petty, “gay”-boilerplate insults against yours truly (I’m a secret homosexual pervert because I fight the “Gay” Lobby) and his feeble attempt at justification by comparison to Newt and Rush, Dan is correct. I carelessly did not report the acknowledged facts of Savage’s and his male lover’s sex romps found in AFTAH’s own post on Savage’s self-reported “three-ways.” Here is what we reported, relaying Dan’s original account in Salon.com, “What does marriage mean?” [relevant portions about Dan's outside sex partners in blue]:

She demanded the details [of his three-ways], but I would only give her a basic outline. One was a nice French guy who looked like Tom Cruise. The other was with an ex-boyfriend of mine, a Microsoft millionaire who spent hundreds of thousands of dollars building a “playroom” in his basement — a kind of sex toy wonderland. Terry wanted to see this playroom for himself and so we went over for dinner… and one thing led to another…

We emphasized that we regarded three-ways the same way Bill Clinton regarded abortion: They’re best when they’re safe, legal and rare. Really rare. Two in 10 years? We get to vote for president more often than we have three-ways.

OK, so Savage and his homosexual “hubby” knew the third wheel in each of their libidinous nights out. But questions remain: who babysat their “kid” during the outside sex? In ‘Homosexual-Daddies’-Three-Way-Adventure’ #1, did the ”gay” duo plan on the multi-partner tryst in advance - and budget extra baby-sitting time accordingly — or did it just “happen,” like the second encounter? (“Sally, we’ll be home at 10:00 or maybe 1:00 in the morning, depending upon whether our host is feeling horny.”)

Seriously, what’s telling about Savage’s multi-partner Tryst-and-Tell is that this supposed serious advocate of homosexual parenting felt the need to inform the world of his sexual excesses — despite knowing that one day his adopted son would find out. Is that part of the new “gay parenting” ethos — the kiddos must accommodate themselves (in later life) to the “out and proud” sexual antics of their “daddies”? How typical is Savage’s brand of “monogamish” parenting in the male homosexuals-with-children world? Having said that, I realize that many homosexuals would recoil just like me at Savage’s recklessness and selfishness. 

Here’s something I will never have to clarify: Savage and his homosexual lover should not be parents. They chose to embrace a barren homosexual lifestyle — with its attendant perversions, such as three-way romps with homosexual acquaintances (NOT strangers!), etc. They didn’t need to bring a “kid” into it. If all legalized “civil unions” and “same-sex marriage” did was make it easier for homosexual couples and radical activists like Savage to adopt children, that alone would be enough to qualify this particular LGBT agenda goal as wrong and misguided public policy.

Why doesn't the media -- or the SPLC -- call homosexual activist Dan Savage a "hater" given his history of hate-filled attacks against Christians?

This interview [click HERE to listen] with Barbara Anderson of the Minnesota Family Council aired Nov. 27, 2010. Anderson is a writer and researcher for the MFC specializing in education issues. Here she discusses some of the incredible abuses that have gone in the name of education – including teaching young children about anal sex and other homosexual practices in the name of being “inclusive.” Americans For Truth President Peter LaBarbera and Anderson discuss the privileged role that the liberal group SIECUS (Sexuality Information and Education Council of the U.S.) plays in American sex education — while the vast majority of parents remain ignorant of SIECUS’ radical agenda. We’re not going to give it away: you simply have to listen to this interview to believe the incredible things that are being taught to kids in the name of safety, diversity and tolerance. This is the first of three interviews.  

In the opening monologue, LaBarbera discusses an incredibly hateful stunt done several years ago by homosexual activist Dan Savage against Pennsylvania’s Republican former U.S. Senator, Rick Santorum. The discussion on “Savage Hate” is in the context of AFTAH now “officially” being labelled a “hate group” by the leftist Southern Poverty Law Center. Savage created an obscene definition for “Santorum”  — a gross byproduct of anal sex – and then set up a website with that creation, Santorum.com [Warning: graphic content].  Anderson says Savage’s deviant definition “truly is a reflection of the kind of perverted thinking of these people … They are not only trying to silence the opposition; they are trying to destroy the opposition.”  LaBarbera asks why the likes of Savage “aren’t ever called haters by the media?”

11-27-10, Barb Anderson, All

"Queer" sex columnist Dan Savage believes straight married couples should have outside sex (like many homosexual male couples) as a way to help reduce the divorce rate. Few in the LGBT movement have a record as extreme and hateful as Savage when it comes to vulgar demonizations of pro-family leaders like former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum.

[CORRECTION: Note HERE our technical correction to this article: Dan Savage correctly points out that his and his male partner's "three way" trysts were with acquaintances -- NOT "strangers" as we originally reported in this piece.]

TAKE ACTION: Call taxpayer-funded WTTW at 773-583-5000 (9-5:00 Central Time M-F; hit “0″ and ask for Phil Ponce). Or contact WTTW CEO and President Dan Schmidt. Let WTTW know that it is hypocritical and shameful that they were so  respectful toward a hate-filled, vulgar anti-religious homosexual extremist like Dan Savage. Eight percent of WTTW’s budget comes from the taxpayers: urge the station to balance their in-depth interview with the anti-Christian Savage with an extended interview with a pro-family leader opposed to mainstreaming homosexuality.  You can e-mail the program at chicagotonight@wttw.com. Or leave an online message on Chicago Tonight’s contact form HERE. You can also contact your Congressman at 202-224-3121 (www.Congress.org) regarding cutting off all federal funds the far-left-biased Public Broadcasting System [contact PBS' Ombudsman HERE].

___________________________

Folks, I sent a version of the letter below to WTTW, Chicago’s main public TV station, and its daily evening  program, “Chicago Tonight.” Apparently, like most of the rest of Chicago’s Left-dominated media, WTTW has decided that there is no legitimate “other side” on the homosexuality issue. Hence Wednesday they felt free to do an embarrassingly uncritical interview with renegade ex-Catholic Dan (“Saliva Terrorist”) Savage – who is as radical and perverted a Christian-basher as there is in the LGBT movement. [To view Ponce's fawning interview with Savage, go HERE.]

I forgot to mention in my letter Savage’s admitted “three way” gay sexual romps — he, his “husband” Terry and a male acquaintance [NOTE: see AFTAH clarification: we originally reported that the three-ways were with "strangers"] — while Terry and he were co-adoptive “daddies” of “The Kid” (the title of Savage’s book). AFTAH wondered: who babysat “The Kid” during their orgy? Savage is a leading booster of “gay parenting” and homosexual adoption — once even landing as a guest on the conservative Michael Medved Show (Medved said he was unaware of Savage’s advocacy of “nonmonogamy” and his history of viciously maligning Christians.)

Savage is living proof that nobody hates like hard-core homosexual activists — yet because he is a “gay” activist and Christians are the target of his bile, Savage not only gets a pass from the media but is treated with deference and respect. (While in Chicago, Savage was also the featured speaker at the Chicago Humanities Festival.)

More Savage Hate

Wikipedia reminds me of one of Savage’s most cruel and vile stunts.  In 2003, the “Savage Love” columnist – upset at remarks by then-Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) linking homosexuality to other sexual sins — asked his readers to create a malicious definition for “Santorum” [see the "Political Advocacy" Wikipedia section HERE; watch a YouTube where Savage explains it HERE.]. We won’t reprint the winning entry [see this link; WARNING: graphic and disgusting], but suffice it to say that to achieve the desired grossness in his attempt to smear the good senator, Savage ironically but appropriately had to resort to using the by-product of anal sex for his sick “definition.” (That’s why homosexual sodomy was once described as the “Infamous Crime Against Nature,” Dan; the only thing more disgusting than describing its after-effects is actually doing it in the first place.)

Would WTTW air an ingratiating interview with a “conservative” activist who mocked, say, Sen. Harry Reid, by forever linking his last name online to the revolting byproduct of  perversion? Of course not.

Only “progressives” and hopelessly biased media would honor a toxic perv like Dan Savage with his seemingly boundless capacity for demonizing pro-family leaders, creatively reaching into the depths of his very, very dirty — and reprobate – mind.

According to FY 2009 figures [see p. 27 HERE], two percent of WTTW’s comes from the State of Illinois and six percent comes from the federal government. YOU, the taxpayers, just helped fund the promotion of this smutty, anti-Christian zealot; now take action to either de-fund PBS or get some balance and decency on this government-subsized network. See the Action Steps at top.  – Peter LaBarbera, www.aftah.org

Peter LaBarbera’s letter to WTTW:

Dear Sirs,

WTTW's Phil Ponce

I am stunned and appalled at Phil Ponce’s sycophantic interview with Dan Savage (11/17/10), who is a radical homosexual activist with starkly bigoted and hateful views against Christianity and traditionalists. Phil seemed to adore Savage as if he were some respected icon rather than a man so possessed with hatred for religious conservatives that he actually LICKED THE DOORKNOBS of the Iowa campaign office of evangelical presidential contender Gary Bauer in a twisted attempt to give Bauer a cold. Yep, a real role model for LGBT youth….

But it gets… worse….

Savage opines that straight married couples should tolerate outside sex (like many gay male couples) and that this would help lower the divorce rate (!). Why didn’t Phil raise any of these extreme opinions in questioning Savage — much less Savage’s routine use of the pejorative term “homophobe” (amidst other polemical cliches) to belittle traditional people of faith?

Savage obviously harbors a serious hatred against Christians — but somehow Ponce didn’t pick up on that or even make a pretense of querying Savage on his malice toward religious opponents of homosexuality. And by the way, Savage’s ridiculous slams against biblical orthodoxy on the issue of sinful homosexual behavior are easily answered — not that Phil thought to challenge him on that (see www.robgagnon.net for sound defenses of biblical teachings on homosexuality).

Would Ponce similarly “roll over” in an extended interview with a religious conservative? I doubt it. Would WTTW even consider doing an uncritical interview with a conservative columnist who has a long record — like Savage — of making extremist, vulgar, and hate-filled attacks against moral critics? Not a chance.

The only way for WTTW to right this example of journalistic malpractice and restore some sense of balance and impartiality on this issue is to invite a Christian, conservative opponent of the homosexual activist agenda on the program — and give him or her the same time and deferential treatment accorded Savage. Your very credibility as a “news” program and organization is on the line. I will be happy to provide you with a list of names of people who could fill that role.

DL Foster, ex-homosexual and founder of Gay Christian Movement Watch (www.gcmwatch.com), and author of "Touching a Dead Man" (www.TouchingaDeadMan.com)..

This third and final part of my interview with D.L. Foster aired Saturday, Nov. 13.  [CLICK HERE to listen.] It was pre-taped a few days before that.  Foster is the founder of Gay Christian Movement Watch (www.gcmwatch.com), which monitors (from a critical perspective) the heretical ”gay christian” movement. Commenting on the current media hype over “gay” youth suicides,” Foster accuses the Homosexual Lobby of using children to advance their agenda: and the media is a partner in it.”  Regarding homosexuals in the military, Foster asks: “There are thousands of people that are discharged from the military for all types of reasons…Why is it a national crisis … because some ‘gay’ servicemenber that knows Arabic is kicked out of the Army?”

Foster also describes how overcoming homosexual sin in a person’s life is possible without “reparative therapy.” He says, “The issue of homosexuality is not a therapy issue, it’s a sin issue — and you cannot ‘counsel’ sin out. It must be repented of.” He does cite the role of Christian discipleship through which a mature believer who is familiar with the struggle of homosexuality counsels and helps another Christian in the overcoming process.

WARNING: Offensive Descriptions, Web Links

Dan Savage, anti-Christian activist, deviant sex advice columnist, prolific hatemonger -- and 'Gay Grinch 2009' candidate. See his "gay marriage" YouTube video below.

By Peter LaBarbera

Folks, we have heard from a few readers who suggested that prolific homosexual writer and sex advice columnist Dan Savage be added to our “Gay Grinch of the Year” 2009 contest, and so he is. Only a perversion activist as twisted as Savage could stage a contest with his readers to come up with a sickening definition to associate with “santorum” — because he was upset that former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum (R) made comments critical of homosexuality (in 2003). (And how appropriate that the winner of Savage’s little nastiness competition was a disgusting by-product of the crime against nature itself, anal sodomy; see his “santorum” definition HERE in the Urban Dictionary.)

Savage is also the lovely fellow who engaged in “Germ Terrorism” against GOP presidential candidate Gary Bauer in 2000, by, as Wikipedia reports, “volunteer[ing] for the Bauer campaign with the intent to infect the candidate with his flu.” Picture the pathetic and sniffling Savage  walking around Bauer’s empty Iowa campaign office licking doorknobs; later he presented Bauer with a saliva-soaked pen to autograph a picture of his adopted son, posing as a pro-life fan of Bauer. (Don’t you just love modern liberalism?)

Who would have thunk that our “Gay Grinch” award would end up sullying the reputation of the “real” TV Grinch by comparison to such Major League deviants and hatemongers as Savage?

But enough about Savage’s past extremism. Recently the Seattle-based sex columnist made a very “queer” plea for homosexual “marriage” (watch YouTube below) — not seeming to comprehend the radical difference between evolving reforms within marriage and the revolutionary homosexualization of “marriage” that essentially redefines the institution to mean anything. (If two men can get “married” on the basis of “love,” how are we going to stop a man and two women from doing so on the same basis? In fact, polygamists feel they have a greater claim to legal marriage than homosexuals because at least they have opposite genders and can produce children on their own.)

You will note that toward the end of the video Savage shamelessly appeals to the fact that he has a child (which he adopted with homosexual partner Terry), thus seemingly satisfying one his critics’ criteria for real marriage. But here Savage has the chutzpah of ten Gay Grinches — plus two: as we reported, he thinks “monogamy is optional” for marriage and admits to having sexual three-ways with Terry and another man — one with an ex-boyfriend of Savage, “a Microsoft millionaire who spent hundreds of thousands of dollars building a ‘playroom’ in his basement — a kind of sex toy wonderland.” Yuck. (Keep in mind these are “gay parents” of a young boy.) Savage claims that allowing heterosexual spouses a “few tightly controlled” affairs would help lower the divorce rate.

To protect his overactive behind, Savage then oddly asserts in his column recommending non-monogamous “marriages”: “”We’ve never done anything, nor would we ever do anything, that would put our child at risk.” Earth to Savage: it’s way too late for that! But I suppose that from the poor boy’s perspective, if you’re being raised by two homosexual men — one of whom writes a perverted, weekly sex column and shills for “nonmonogamous marriage”– finding out one day that they engaged in a sadomasochistic threesome with another guy could hardly be construed as shocking news.

Nevertheless, I have a question for Dan and his domestic homosexual lover Terry: who watches the kid when you guys are having one of your “tightly controlled” three-way sex romps? — Peter LaBarbera, www.aftah.org.
