WorldNetDaily once again relied on the discredited Gateway Pundit for an attack, this time in a July 5 article by Cristina Laila:
Joe Biden received massive blowback for his anti-American Fourth of July message on the 250th celebration on Saturday.
In a message posted to social media, Biden (or his staffer) claimed America is just an idea.
Joe Biden also scolded Americans for not fully living up to the words in the Declaration of Independence.
As Laila eventually admitted later in the article, Biden actually stated: “We’re the only nation in history built not on ethnicity, or blood, or geography but on an idea. That’s always been what makes us exceptional.” It was not explained how Laila determined that this statement is “anti-American.” And while Biden did state that “we still haven’t fully lived up to those words in the Declaration,” he also stated: “But we’ve never walked away from them, and this July 4, I hope all of us can commit to one thing: that we never will.” How is that “anti-American”? Laila doesn’t explain.
Thing is, WND is no stranger to promoting anti-American rhetoric. Following the 9/11 attacks, it published a column by Anthony LoBaido raging:
All that is evil in the world can be found in New York: MTV, the United Nations, the U.N. abortion programs, the Council on Foreign Relations, New Age Church of St. John the Divine, WallStreet greed, Madison Avenue manipulation and of course more confirmed AIDS cases than the rest of America combined. Let’s remember the filthy sodomite gay parade last summer in New York.
[…]And let’s not forget that New Yorkers elected — by a landslide — the openly Marxist, treasonous and abortion-mongering, occultic Hillary to a Senate seat.
LoBaido also ranted: “America will no longer be able to deny judgment for its idolatry, wickedness, abandonment of the God of the Bible, embrace of abortion, stem-cell research, the sodomite agenda, materialism, the occult and many other sins.” WND editor Joseph Farah initially stood by LoBaido’s attack, but WND ultimately deleted LoBaido’s article from its database.
The fact that WND continues to rely on a discredited website for content — not to mention the inaccuracy of the attack — makes us wonder about the veracity of the entirety of WND.
