The Liberty Counsel today announced that they expect a ruling tomorrow on their bid to thwart California’s just-approved ban on the “ex-gay” torture and brainwashing of children. Their suit was filed on behalf of NARTH, whose co-founder George Rekers was recently exposed for hiring a lithe young male prostitute for a two-week European vacation. In today’s clip, Mat Staver and …

Today the Supreme Court ordered the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals to take another look at Liberty University’s anti-Obamacare lawsuit. The Supreme Court responded to a request from Liberty University, one of the groups that sued over the health care law’s individual mandate in 2010. When the court ruled in June that the mandate was constitutional, it dismissed Liberty’s entire …

So says Liberty Counsel’s Mat Staver.

“Romney was like the unwanted suitor at our high school prom. We danced because we didn’t want to turn him down and make a scene. Our reluctance was warranted, because as we danced, he talked about his economic plan. Like one of those dolls we had as kids: ‘Hello, my name is Chatty Cathy!’ Just pull the string to hear …

Jeremy Hooper observes: “From a different commentator, framed in the right way, this could be a funny turn of phrase. But from a man who frequently cites Levitical condemnations as literal reasons to deny gays of everything from rights to our own senses of peace? Not as funny, frankly.”

“America has forsaken her first love. She has finally, and fully, given herself over to a licentious Lothario with whom she has increasingly flirted since her youth. He is sin – and, notwithstanding full knowledge of who he is and what he intends, with him she has lain. America has tasted the poisonous fruits of lust, pride, passion, and envy …

“The event we have just witnessed was far more than a general election – it was a referendum on the soul of America.  We grieve today like we have lost a friend or a close relative. Millions of Americans looked evil in the eye and adopted it. Some Christian observers called the Democratic Party platform for 2012 a ‘Romans 1 …

Predictably, the Liberty Counsel says they will file suit to thwart California’s just-approved ban on the “ex-gay” torture and brainwashing of children. Their suit will be filed on behalf of NARTH, whose board member George Rekers was recently exposed for hiring a lithe young male prostitute for a two-week European vacation. “The California governor and legislature are putting their own …

Hate group watchdog Jeremy Hooper points out that the photo is actually from an Obama rally in 2008. Snork!

The Nicaraguan pastors shielding Isabella Miller from her lesbian mom say they will gladly go to prison or be put to death before surrendering the child to authorities. Last month a jury convicted one of their American conspirators on the same day that the girl’s mother filed a RICO lawsuit against numerous U.S.-based Christian groups. The Brotherhood says that they …

The Liberty Counsel is telling their radio audience that the Southern Poverty Law Center puts organizations on their hate groups list merely for opposing same-sex marriage. This ridiculous lie has been debunked numerous times by the SPLC, who always points out that if such were the criteria for anti-gay hate group listing, there would be thousands of so-named organizations and …

Liberty Counsel head Mat Staver says lesbian mother Janet Jenkins’ lawsuit against his organization is defamatory and they will seek “every possible recourse” against her for filing it. Two weeks ago Jenkins filed a civil RICO suit against Staver and numerous other anti-gay defendants after a preacher was found guilty of assisting in the kidnapping of her daughter to Central …

“Like any bully, the SPLC only goes after those it believes it can push around. But really, it confers a badge of honor upon every legitimate Christian and conservative organization it so disingenuously mislabels ‘hate group.’ I’d like to officially request that the SPLC add my name to its spurious ‘anti-gay hate list.’ It’s good for one’s conservative and biblical …

Good As You points us to today’s Twitter message from Matt Barber, whose employer is being sued for kidnapping. I’ll add a message of my own.

This is how Christianist media is spinning the Lisa Miller case.

The Liberty Counsel is sending the “Patriot’s Handbook of Religious Freedom in Public Schools” to every public school in the nation so that students understand that they have the right to inflict Christianity on classmates whether they like it or not. Presumably, the Patriot’s Handbook will include a lesson on kidnapping. The vast majority of these Handbooks have already been …
