Family Research Council Gives Highest Honor to NC Pastor Who Compares ‘Perverted’ Gays to Maggots, M
http://www.towleroad.com/2012/05/baity.html
The Family Research Council just honored NC Pastor Ron Baity with its 2012 Watchman Award, its top “pro-family” award and highest honor.
Baity has called gays “worse than maggots”, compared them to murderers, wants to ‘save’ them, claims gay people make society more filthy, says gays are “not normal” and embrace a “learned lifestyle”, says gays promote “perversion” in schools and are signing “America’s death warrant”, and other choice gems.

Fake Economic Charts Going Viral on Right-Wing Blogs
Right wingers are making up fake graphs to support their lies about President Obama. Sadly, media literacy is another area that they’ve deliberately marginalized in their education policies, creating a generation of people who can’t tell the truth from lies.

It’s all about the money, no matter what side of the aisle you’re on. If you don’t have the money, you don’t have access. Every politician is representing the rich, even Obama. Sadly.

Providence Road Baptist Church member Stacey Pritchard said Worley’s message isn’t one of hate. Instead, she interpreted it as tough love guided by Good Book.
