HYPOCRISY ALERT: Liberty Counsel To Defend Florida County Against Man Seeking Religious Liberty

As we all know, the Liberty Counsel spends every minute of every day jumping up and down and screaming about religious liberty.

Mat Staver To Court: Gays Don’t Want Marriage Licenses, They Just Want To Punish Christians

“The Plaintiffs are showing their true colors in this latest filing. It has never really been about a marriage license—Rowan County has issued the licenses—it is about forcing their will on a Christian woman through contempt of court charges, jail, and monetary sanctions.

Headline Of The Day

The Daily Beast eviscerates the Liberty Counsel in a column today by Brandon Ambrosio. An excerpt: The most glaring irony here is that evangelicals are notorious for their negative views of Catholicism, and in particular the pope.

Associated Press Calls Out Lying Liberty Counsel

The Associated Press today published a story which rips the Liberty Counsel’s “imaginary” Peruvian soccer stadium story and points out that the SPLC has very good reasons for categorizing them as a hate group.

We don’t usually hear much about Liberty Counsel co-founder Anita Staver, wife of Mat Staver, but we’re guessing this tweet will get her a bit of attention.

Liberty Counsel’s Mat Staver Calls Out Lying Media: We Never Said Pope Francis Supports Kim Davis

He just doesn’t fucking know when to stop: “Neither Kim Davis nor Liberty Counsel ever said the meeting was an endorsement of her legal case.

Peruvian Pol Won’t Take The Heat For The Liberty Counsel’s Lie: That Kim Davis Rally Never Happened

After the Liberty Counsel was busted in that whopping lie about 100,000 Peruvians gathering in a soccer stadium to pray for Kim Davis, they tried to pin the ridiculous story on their (now probably former) pal, Peruvian congressman Julio Rosas, whom they claim told them about the event and gave them the photo. Slight problem: Rosas is flatly denying that …
