On her Tuesday radio show, Janet
Mefferd warned listeners that they might vomit from a story about
Anderson Cooper coming out gay, media watchdog RightWingWatch.org
reported.
After remarking that when her children
complain of a stomach ache in the middle of the night she arms them
with a bucket, she said: “So in that vein I would like to give you
the same advice, given what I'm about to talk about you might want to
get yourself a bucket with a little water in it and that way if you
feel a little sick and it manifests itself in a physical way you'll
be prepared. I wasn't going to even talk about this but I can't
resist because this has got to be the neo-pagan story of the day.
Did you know – I know this isn't going to be a shock to you –
Anderson Cooper is gay. I know, what a shock, I'm reeling from this
news, I had no idea, yes I'm being sarcastic. But there is something
very funny about this because Paul Brandeis Raushenbush over at the
Huffington Post has a headline on his story about Anderson
Cooper, the CNN anchor, announcing that he is gay and it says, Fact
is.. Anderson Cooper Thanks God He’s Gay.”
Cooper's coming out proved a convenient
excuse for Mefferd to falsely link being gay to pedophilia.
“If this were pagan, Ancient Rome,
Jerry Sandusky wouldn't have been in trouble at all because
homosexuality and man-boy love was so common and so accepted that
outrage would've been inconceivable. It is only the vestiges of
Christianity in our culture that give people the moral framework by
which you can look at a Sandusky and feel revolted. And you know
what the way we are going, Jerry Sandusky thirty years from now may
be a normal thing. You already have pedophiles who are trying to be
normalized at the American Psychological Association, I think that's
the name of it, they've succeeded in having homosexuality removed
from the playbook as some sort of disorder and now they're working on
pedophilia and I'm sure they'll be successful because that's where it
is all headed.”
“Anderson Cooper did receive from God
an ability to love, but not that kind of love. That's not love, it's
not love. All you need to do is go back to Romans Chapter 1. This
is an absolute pagan expression that has twisted love beyond
recognition and turned it into something that is not God's design at
all. This is a lie from the pit, and we must oppose it. And
unfortunately, we have so-called evangelicals getting on this train
to nowhere.”
