The fact that he actually said this in response to a journalist interviewing him for a regional Baptist newspaper , which is probably only read by Baptists who agree with him anyway, is never mentioned.
They make it sound like he put up a billboard along the freeway.
Another question, of course, is exactly who found that (very innocuous) statement in a small church paper and called in the MSM.
Exactly. I keep pointing out that it was in response to a question, should he have lied? As if the media wouldn’t have made a scandal of that! It’s as if they want to leave no option except to agree with the sodomites! Never mind “as if”, that’s exactly what they want! Mao had nothing on American leftists! Thought crime!
