Erik Rush’s Aug. 24 WorldNetDaily column is about an alleged campaign on Facebook “to target and harass those who oppose homosexuals dictating the moral agenda in America, as well as people with whom they associate”:
Several pages on Facebook run by these homofascist operatives have compiled information on specific individuals. Their principals not only post scathing screeds about said “homophobes,” but they have gone as far as to contact their friends, family members, employers and clients. They have disseminated information about these “offenders” on those pages, for the express purpose of making the lives of these people as unpleasant as possible. Some have even lost their jobs as a result of employer retaliation by bosses who are “sympathetic to the cause.” It will probably not surprise that these militant homosexuals have a decidedly anti-Christian bent and that the majority of their targets are those of that faith. “Christer” is the salacious invective used on one page, usually with an even more insulting descriptor preceding.
Completely missing from Rush’s column is any substantiation of the claims he’s making — no links, no screenshots, nothing but a couple of anonymous, unsubstantiated quotes complaining about the purported harassment — or any direct quotes of the comments that set off the supposed harassment. Somehow, we suspect that those comments go well beyond the mere expression of “traditional values” who are “simply trying to enjoy a new medium of information exchange” that Rush claims.
Without any substantiation of his charges, it’s hard to take Rush’s gay-bashing seriously. After all, this is a guy who accused President Obama of “collectively sodomizing the American people in perpetuity.”
