American Family Association made a Hate Infomercial

only the 1st 10 minutes.

These idiots are continuing their terrorist attacks by creating a controversial one-hour paid program on the "radical homosexual agenda". They are trying to get the hateful special on the air in West Michigan. The station, WOOD-TV is considering it, however folks are outraged that it could be seen.

For some, it is hate speech and it should be canceled, but backers think it is fair and important to the family survival. WOOD-TV program director Craig Cole plans to air it on Saturday at 2 pm, but had not received a decision from the sponsor.

Colette Beighley, Assistant Director of Grand Valley State University's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Resource Center believes by airing this program will send a horrible message.

"If an organization came into Grand Rapids and wanted to air biased programming slamming the Asian community, West Michigan would send a message that that puts Asians brothers and sisters at risk. Grand Rapids wants to be a cool city and one of the cornerstones of a cool city is diversity."

And WOOD-TV general manager Diane Kniowski said:

"We don't pre-judge people's ideas or opinions. However, we have restrictions on controversial programming and key time periods. If the show airs, we will have disclaimers at the beginning and end of the show stating that these are not the opinions or views of this station."

That part is questionable. If you air this, you are sending a message that money talks and...you know the rest.

It's airing on DirecTV tonight, channel 364 on something called The Inspiration Network.

MLK and Coretta Scott King advocated gay civil rights on a par with black civil rights, and Coretta Scott King made that point resoundingly clear time after time. So that's that Mrs. "I got fired for being a hater".
