Haggard Part Deux Runs to the ACLU (from the Nation)
Haggard Part Deux Runs to the ACLU
Max Blumenthal

Rev. Lonnie Latham, a notoriously anti-gay Southern Baptist Convention heavyweight who resigned his post for engaging in "offering to engage in an act of lewdness" (read: seeking meat whistle lessons from an undercover cop posing as a male prostitute), has now asserted his right to solicit sex from that cop. And he's enlisted the anti-Christian commie pinkos at the ACLU to help him. I know this doesn't have anything to do with the campaign but admit you're glad I posted it.

1. Are you sure you found this at The Nation?

It sounds more like something you'd find at The Onion!

:evilgrin:

2. True. It's so warped that you'd assume it was from The Onion.....
but, as is typical with the rabid dog crazy Religious Right, it's true.

4. Wasn't me....it was the guy from the Nation who posted it.
I've never heard that particular euphemism before...

5. I'm emailing Max Blumenthal at "The Nation" right now.
I stand corrected. That knee-jerk was all mine. :blush:

11. Please use quotation marks or block quote or double lines...
...or something like that to indicate a quote.

I thought it was your words at first, too.

12. I'll certainly do that next time, but....
I identified it as being from the Nation in the subject line, included Max Blumenthal's byline in the post and included the link - I thought that would make it pretty clear. I guess I was wrong.

13. That's true but the writing style of the quote isn't journalistic...
...and so I thought you were summarizing.

8. Folks like the Rev here, on the whole, hate, loathe, despise and denigrate the ACLU.
Hence, this story makes my day!!
