Quote Of The Day - Matt Barber

"We recently had a guest contributor at BarbWire link to an article that, to our disgust, calls for the 'lawful execution' of homosexuals. It went unnoticed by our editors and was removed once discovered. As we fully expected, a handful of especially virulent homosexual and atheist bloggers had a heyday with it nonetheless. They implied, knowing full well that it wasn’t true, that Christians in general and BarbWire in particular want homosexuals executed.

"Still, in Muslim nations both Christians and homosexuals are persecuted. That’s Islam. Each are systemically jailed, tortured and even executed. Curiously, it’s the same cowardly leftists who disingenuously accuse Christians of 'anti-gay hate' at home who remain silent while homosexuals are, in point of fact, tortured to death by Muslims abroad. In other words, bullies steer clear from picking fights with bigger bullies." - Hate group leader Matt Barber, writing for World Net Daily.

FACT CHECK: Actually Barber has published columns by advocates of the gay death penalty two times. And it's just a flat-out lie to declare that LGBT activists "remain silent" about the executions of allegedly gay men by Islamic terrorists. But after all, these are the words of a jackhole who regularly compares gay Americans to Nazis and calls us "homofascists."

HomoQuotable - Matt Moore

"Our gay, 'married' neighbors are in sin and alienated from God, but they are still His image bearers and because of that they possess a dignity that is worthy of our love and respect. They are fatally sick, dead in their sins, hostile to God and willfully serving a master (Satan) that hates and violently opposes us (the church), but we are called to love and embrace them – not as believers, but as fellow image bearers – in the very state they’re in. We aren’t called by God to curl our lips at them, teach our children to hate them, or relentlessly blame them for the disintegration of our society. We are called by God to invite them into our lives, into our social circles, and even into our living rooms. Christians, while possessing the greatest love of all within them, have so often been superseded by other non-Christian communities in attitudes of kindness and hospitality, and that’s a horrible shame." - Ex-gay activist Matt Moore, conceding that the marriage battle is lost and asking Christians to be be nicer about it. This he does by writing for a website which two days ago published a call for his execution.

UPDATE: Freedom Outpost has now deleted its July 2014 post calling for the "lawful execution of homosexuals." The column was authored by Philip Stallings, who also wrote a now-deleted October 2014 post for Matt Barber's BarbWire. The Freedom Outpost article was approvingly linked to on Sunday by BarbWire columnist Tim Brown. Yesterday that post was also deleted. The original Freedom Outpost column remains viewable via the Wayback Machine.

Matt Barber Deletes Guest Post Calling For The Execution Of Homosexuals

After first removing the line which linked to a column calling for the "lawful execution of homosexuals," Matt Barber has now deleted the entire post of guest blogger Tim Brown. This is the second time in four months that Barber has published and then deleted a guest column from advocates of the death penalty for homosexuality.

Another One Of Matt Barber's Columnists Calls For The Execution Of Homosexuals

In a guest column published today on Matt Barber's website, Freedom Outpost blogger Tim Brown links to a story on his own site which calls for the "lawful execution of practicing homosexuals." Via BarbWire:

CNN, the Communist News Network, invited Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore on to discuss the redefinition of marriage argument that is taking place across the country and specifically in the State of Alabama. However, I’m sure it came as a shock to Moore, as well as many other patriotic Americans when morning anchor Chris Cuomo claimed that our laws don’t come from our Creator.

Once again friends, if we would deal with sodomy in the manner God prescribes in His law, we would never have the discussion of redefining marriage into something it is not.

I wonder how Mr. Cuomo would feel about us changing the definition of the press (something like what Senator Dianne Feinstein wants to do) to only those who are not paid and who are not part of a corporation? I wonder how he would feel about having his free speech squashed? Those things are part of the rights he has, but I’ll bet you would hear him sing a different song if this was applied to what he engages in.

When men like Mr. Cuomo think their rights come from other men (government), that is when they should not expect to be surprised that government will usurp the authority it does rightfully have and engage in tyranny, which is exactly what we see now. I’ll bet Cuomo would think that we are a democracy too, but we’re not.

The story that Brown links to was written by Philip Stallings, who published a BarbWire column in October that was deleted the next day after Right Wing Watch noted that Stallings regularly calls for the gay death penalty. Following that deletion Barber fired out a tweet claiming that he had been unaware of Stallings' history, adding that he finds advocating for the gay death penalty to be "appalling." But not that appalling, obviously, since another of Matt Barber's writers has done the same today.

This is Tim Brown's author credit on BarbWire: "Tim Brown is an author and Editor at FreedomOutpost.com, husband to his wife, father of 10, jack of all trades, Christian and lover of liberty. He resides in the U.S. occupied Great State of South Carolina. Tim is also an affiliate for the brand new Joshua Mark 5 AR/AK hybrid semi-automatic rifle. Follow Tim on Twitter."

UPDATE: Barber has deleted without comment the above-linked call to execute millions of LGBT Americans. The bulk of the post by BarbWire guest blogger Tim Brown remains.

Memo To Liberty Counsel's Matt Barber: This Is What Extremism Looks Like

Barber: Executing Gays Is "Appalling" (But Brutal Anti-Gay Persecution Is Great)

I didn't catch Matt Barber's response to Right Wing Watch this morning, but he certainly ignored all of yesterday's tweets from the flying monkeys who pointed out that his newest columnist has called for executing homosexuals. Barber deleted that post, but here's an excerpt from how Right Wing Watch writer Peter Montgomery has responded to the above tweet:

Here are some other things we find appalling that Matt Barber seemingly does not: Jeff Allen, a BarbWire editor, compares the gay rights movement to “a malignant cancer” and says, “Each victory for the homosexual activists represents another nail in America’s coffin.” Allen has supported brutal anti-gay laws in Uganda, Nigeria, and Ethiopia, which include imprisonment not only for sexual conduct but also for joining social clubs or advocating for equality. Allen was upset when criticized for his “innocent mistake” of calling a fake photo of “NAMBLA for Obama” an example of “the undeniable link between homosexuality and pedophilia.” More Allen: “Satanism, sodomy, and slaughter are each part of the Devil’s sinister agenda to destroy America.”

BarbWire content editor Gina Miller has written that the “demonic” gay rights advocates are advancing “Satan’s tyrannical desire to crush Christianity” and warned last year that if gays get their way “Christians here in America will be in danger of state-sanctioned murder for their beliefs.” In June, Miller responded to the announcement that some Boy Scout troops would march in New York’s LGBT pride parade by calling it “a perverse attack on young boys who are being used as little tools by an evil movement of sexual degenerates who cannot reproduce, so they must recruit.” This spring, BarbWire published a column by former Indiana lawmaker Don Boys recounting his attempt to recriminalize homosexuality. In a similar column a few years earlier, Boys had explained that he wanted to make homosexuality a crime punishable by up to twelve years in prison.

Matt Barber Deletes Post From Columnist Who Earlier Called For Executing Gays

Did Barber removed the post because he didn't know that Philip Stallings has public advocated for executing homosexuals? Or did he remove it because he didn't know about claims that Stallings has an extensive criminal record?

Christian Leader Matt Barber Runs Column From Advocate Of Executing Homosexuals

Peter Montgomery writes at Right Wing Watch:

As we’ve noted before, Matt Barber’s website BarbWire has become quite the outlet for extremists. Today, BarbWire promotes as one of its “Top Stories” a column called “Repent! For the Kingdom of Sodom is At Hand.” Columnist Philip Stallings bemoans growing support for LGBT equality among millennials, blaming it on “the public school system’s indoctrination of wickedness.” Stallings praises civil magistrates in North Carolina who have refused to issue marriage certificates to “sodomites.” [snip] Stallings is identified on BarbWire as a “Political Theonomist.” That’s a term used by Christian Reconstructionists who believe government should be enforcing their interpretation of Old Testament law, like Gary North and Michelle Bachman mentor John Eidsmoe. Turns out that’s exactly what Stallings believes. His Twitter feed links to a Christian radio show on which he spent nearly half an hour on August 25 arguing that the government should execute homosexuals – or “sodomites.”

Listen to Stalling's full radio appearance in which he startles the host when he argues that homosexuals should be executed. The excerpt from Right Wing Watch is below.

UPDATE: Readers point out that it appears Stallings has quite the criminal history. Check it out here and here.
