Randall Terry is about a stone’s throw from being accepted as a member of Westboro Baptist. Ping me when he ISN’T posting some self-aggrandizing stunt as a news release on Christian News Wire.

"Randall Terry has that self serving stench that people despise. He does more harm to the pro-life cause than anyone else could dream of"

At least 'he does' something, whereas, 'we don't' do a damn thing, other than vote for a politian who agrees with us. Big Whoop!

Regardless, Terry shows more gonads when defending the unborn then most of us put together. We may speak the anti-abortion line, he walks it.

As far as "self serving stench that people despise", sounds like DU talking about Conservative talk radio hosts or Newt.

"Randall Terry is about a stone’s throw from being accepted as a member of Westboro Baptist."

Nah -- not true. Not Westboro Baptist.

Randy has a son, now an adult, named Jamiel, who Randy adopted when the boy was 14, when the boy's natural mother, a drug-addict, decided she couldn't properly raise him. Some 10 years or so after his adoption, Jamiel announced he was gay by "coming out" and selling his story to a gay magazine called "Out."

Here's a quote from an interview that was done about it at that most difficult time, when Randy felt (understandably) betrayed by the young man's cashing in on a painful family crisis.

"There are three options when you find out a family member is homosexual. One is accept them and their lifestyle as if it's normal. Two is to reject them and sever your relationship. Three is to love them unconditionally, but to tell them you do not accept their behavior as normal, and to tell them the truth....I have to believe that people can change, otherwise I deny the Gospel, and I will not do that."

That's not like "Westboro Baptist." That's not the voice of hate. It sounds to me like suffering fatherly love.

Mind you, I'm not endorsing evrything Randy Terry says and does. Not at all. But I'm trying to be fair to him, because I don't think he's a lunatic and I don't think he's a hater. He's talented, he's conservative, he has his flaws and his problems: don't we all.
