WND CEO Takes To Gay Radio To Slam Ann Coulter For ‘HomoConflict’

» 22 comments

This story is just begging for some sarcastic ‘strange bedfellows’ remark. Last week World Net Daily made headlines after it announced it was dropping Ann Coulter as the keynote speaker at their “Taking Back America” conference following news that she would be headlining GOProud’s Homocon 2010. WND CEO Joseph Farah expressed ‘concern’ that by appearing she was supporting the idea that “that sodomy is just an alternate lifestyle.”

Ann Coulter responded in typical Coulter fashion by calling Farah variously as “swine” and a “publicity whore” and later called WND “fake Christians.”

Caught up? The latest development, according to the Daily Caller, is that Farah has taken to radio shows hosted by gay personalities to further skewer Coulter. From the DC:

Farah appeared on The Steve Yuhas Show Sunday and then gave an interview to host Michelangelo Signorile on Sirius’ gay themed channel, “OutQ” the next day. Farah told Signorile that he was fed up with the conservative movement, and criticized conservatives for embracing members of the gay community who share beliefs on issues like taxes, health care and the role of government. “This is my beef with conservatism: it’s always losing ground,” Farah told Signorile. “That’s why I don’t consider myself a conservative.”

So Farah is quitting the conservative party (quitting appears to be the new getting a job). But his appearance on gay radio is in no way hypocritical nor similar to Coulter’s appearance at GoProud. Here’s why.

“Talking to homosexuals and engaging them on the issues of the day is one thing. Accepting paid speaking assignments from homosexual activist lobbying groups promoting same-sex marriage, open homosexuality in the U.S. military ranks and hate crimes legislation is quite different,” Farah said in the email. “…I [do not] believe GOProud has a conservative agenda at all on taxes, health care and the role of government. GOProud is, as its chairman has stated, 100 percent about the promotion of a radical, anti-American, anti-freedom homosexual agenda.”

One can only look forward to Coulter’s appropriately sound-bitey (emphasis on bite) response.

    An odd sort of justice here, coming from World Nut Daily …. Maybe, homophobia is out-of-style. Maybe, racism will follow. Who knows, maybe even xenophobia?

    I respect Joseph Farah’s viewpoint…it comes across as “old school”…but keep in mind those “old school” values built the most free, powerful, generous and prosperous nation on earth. Something to be said about those values. I think both have made their point and I call it a “draw”. Ann is brought down a peg or 2 in the eyes of “old school” values folks. I think Farah could have handled it better, but Ann definitely over-reacted.

    Farah is a bigot, we’re all sinners under the eyes of God, yet according to Farah, some sinners are better than others.

    “She who lives by hate dies hated.”

    —Speak for yourself, progressives live by hate. Anyone who’s not like you is deemed a racist, bigot, homophobe, islamophobe, etc.

    As for Coulter, she’s living really really well with all the money she makes from her books. How ’bout you, Royak King? Are you living really well? I doubt it.

    Gay radio, what the hell do they play or is it just a talk show? If music oriented, not much on the list except for Bieber & Lambert. If talk show, is the item of the day fashion, makeup, hair, brazilians or interior design? I can just bet The Real Royal Queen/King is a big fan.

    I might remind Mr. Farah that it is universally known that sodomy is not exclusively the realm of gay folks. Also, Mr. Farah, please adhere to the rest of the old testament. You really shouldn’t cherry pick what suits you… you should (and I suspect you do) know that there are many things in the OT that would send you right to heck. Such as divorce, have relations with your wife a week before, after and during her time of the month, not destroying any vessel upon which a fly has landed, eating pork and on and on and on. Jesus freed us from the OT many years ago. Grow up and stop spreading hate and fear… God is not fond of those who persecute and slander His children.

    Can’t say I “get” everything you say … but your poetry is really funny. You should publish it.

    I have never heard anyone pack so many conflicting statements in one paragraph in my life. YIKES what an idiot… “anti-American???” “anti-Freedom???” homosexual “agenda???” Gay people are fighting for their lives … and their families. They are fighting for their God given rights under the Constitution for equal protection under the law (Farah doesn’t get to choose who among us the Constitution applies to). Mr. Farah is CLEARLY the one who is anti-American, anti-freedom and he has a bizarre and disgusting personal agenda. “Project” much Mr. Farah???

    I lived in San Francisco for 17 years. I was a guest speaker before homosexual groups. I was endorsed for public office by a gay republican group. I have hired and worked with homosexuals. One of the people I hired as a manager for the business I was running was a lesbian that had been a sgt. in the army. She was a very good manger. I hire people to do the job. That makes me look good. When she had a birthday party she invited me to accompany her and her girlfriend to a lesbian bar. I had a good time.
    None of the many gay people I knew supported gay marriage. I never told them I was a supporter of any gay rights agenda so they would be friendly to me. In fact I was a supporter of the Briggs Amendment and opposed gay adoption. I do not support “special” rights for anyone. I judge ALL people indivdually.
    I do not support openly gay teachers or being openly gay in the military. That is good policy not discrimination.

    Once again you are the voice of reason. Thanks G. I too have met gay people who don’t care about the marriage issue (the word marriage). They seem to simply want equal protection under the law for their family units (legal, societal, etc.). Can’t say I agree with you about gay teachers or being gay in the military as I have had contact with people from both these groups and have always found them to be decent, good, Americans who wish to be of service to our country. They are valuable to us and we need them.

    KMLake, notice I said openly gay in the military and same goes for teachers. No one has to know anyones sexual orientation. Keep it to yourself. The reason these people want to flaunt their sexual orientation is to force acceptance on people. Tolerance is one thing ACCEPTANCE is another.

    Yep you did and I misread you. Hmmm I don’t think that they should have to hide their sexual orientation, but very few teachers would discuss their family lives with kids (when I taught Ph.D. statistics, I would never have discussed anything personal with a student… it’s a professional ethics issue) and in the military while you’re low crawling and dodging bullets… what other soldiers do in their personal lives is not really a concern. It would be considered inappropriate for any soldier in uniform to PDA. But, I would just like people to calm down about gay folks… they live their lives, pay taxes, vote, work make the world much more attractive by staying in shape and making our homes prettier (a little joke) and I need them happy and protected from abuse or discrimination.

    You realize openly gay doesn’t mean having sex with a dude in class? It only means you don’t have to lie about sexual orientation on forms or when you’re asked. That’s all ANYBODY is asking for, nothing more.
