The ConWeb reacted to the Supreme Court decisions overturning the Defense of Marriage Act dismissing a challenge to the overturning of California’s anti-gay marriage Proposition 8 pretty much the way you’d expect.
Accuracy in Media chairman Don Irvine tweeted, “The country just went to hell in a handbasket.’
Purportedly objective CNSNews.com reporter Penny Starr ranted: “Sad day for our nation — already on the path to a fallen civilization. If Obama gets another left-wing SCOTUS judge America is doomed.”
WorldNetDaily responded with a heavily biased article by Bob Unruh, with the demeaning headline “Black robes ‘delegitimize’ Supreme Court,” that quotes a plethora of anti-gay activists lamenting the decisions.It’s not until the final four paragraphs of his 39-paragraph article that Unruh bothers to quote anyone expressing support for the decision.
And WND editor Joseph Farah whines:
In fact, there was no real effort at making a constitutional case against a duly enacted piece of legislation, passed overwhelmingly by the House and Senate with strong bipartisan support and signed by a Democratic Party president, Bill Clinton.
[…]
What actually happened at the Supreme Court was that five justices decided – and wrote in their opinion – that anyone who opposes same-sex marriage does so for no other reason than bigotry against homosexuals.What’s next?
It’s obvious, isn’t it?
The Supreme Court virtually declared an open season on those with whom the 5-4 majority disagree.
We are no longer relevant. What we think no longer counts. We are, after all, bigots who only want to demean homosexuals.
But Farah is a bigot who demeans homosexuals (except for that one he hired to cheerlead for the Iraq War). Remember his paranoid rant about “the forced homosexualization of America” that came in response to a critic who called him out on WND’s dishonest reporting on LGBT-related bills in California?
Farah appears to be demonstrating one again that there’s no reasoning with a person who thinks anyone who issues a legitimate criticism of his and WND is out to get him.
