Media Homosexuals Target General Pace

The Washington Post claims in an editorial that there is an "uproar" over General Peter Pace expressing his view that homosexuality is immoral. (web site) This is another manufactured "scandal" designed to put a top official, in this case the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, in a bad light. This "uproar," such as it is, has come from papers like the Post and homosexual rights activists. It is an effort at intimidation, pure and simple, and thought control.
At this point in the media-generated controversy, Pace has not apologized but has been forced to say he should not have emphasized his own personal views on the subject. Some stories are saying Pace has expressed "regret" or "mild regret."
Whatever the outcome, and it is still possible that Pace could be forced to resign over this, the message has been sent: do not offend the powerful homosexual lobby, including the National Lesbian & Gay Journalists Association (NLGJA), which on Thursday, March 15, will be sponsoring a New York benefit hosted by ABC News reporter Brian Ross. The "special guests" will include Natalie Morales and Meredith Vieira of NBC News, Martha MacCallum of Fox News, Soledad O'Brien of CNN, and Robert Lipsyte of the New York Times. Corporate sponsors include ABC News, CNN, and NBC Universal.
As the NLGJA website puts it, the event is a "special evening for a great cause," bringing together "a glittering collection of some of the brightest names in media, journalism and entertainment."
Is it any surprise that the media have made the Pace comments on homosexuality into a national controversy, even scandal? The national media and the homosexual rights movement seem to be one and the same. But that's a story that news consumers aren't being told.
Leading the charge, the Post found Pace guilty of making "public expressions of intolerance." The subheadline of the editorial was, "Gen. Peter Pace denounces gays and lesbians who are busy defending their country." But he said nothing of the kind, and the paper knows it. The deceitful editorial is another attempt to intimidate people into not expressing opinions that contradict the politically correct views of the radical left. The Post, which runs announcements of homosexual "weddings," will not be content until homosexuality is celebrated in the military and the schools as just another alternative lifestyle. (web site) Pedophilia, of course, can be defined by its apologists in that manner.
Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth points out that the Pace view is consistent with the writings of the Apostle Paul, who denounced homosexuality as an unrighteous behavior that would keep someone out of heaven. (web site) So if the Post finds what Pace said objectionable, it is also taking issue with the traditional Christian view of homosexuality. Of course, it's easier for the Post to write an editorial denouncing Pace than attacking a disciple of Jesus Christ who doesn't serve in the Bush Administration.
