In fact-free rant on Jennings, anti-gay bigot Erickson declares the "full gay rights agenda" that of NAMBLA

October 09, 2009 10:25 am ET by Media Matters staff

From RedState.com managing editor Erick Erickson's October 9 post, headlined, "Common Decency Suggests We Should Not Have to Deal With This, But We Must Now Confront A White House Supportive of NAMBLA" [emphasis added]:

Sadly, NAMBLA is very real and today steps right out of the darkest pits of immoral human behavior and straight into the White House. Sean Hannity has been all over this story and we are just now coming to terms with how sick and demented the thinkings and associations of White House Safe Schools Czar Kevin Jennings are.

To be sure, the left wing Media Matters, which is run by former conservative turned homosexual activist and left-wing icon David Brock, is screaming from the rooftops that Sean Hannity is lying.

Hannity is not lying. Kevin Jennings is a profoundly sick and immoral human being - a proponent of statutory rape, an opponent of the Boy Scouts of America, and a zealous advocate of NAMBLA.

He is Barack Obama's Safe Schools Czar.

He is a supporter of men who openly and vocally support pedophilia.

Media Matters threw out a few talking points to defend Van Jones. But Media Matters is giving a full throated, aggressive defense of Kevin Jennings. Why? Well, to paraphrase Wonkette, gay is the new black.

Van Jones was just a black guy. With a black President, resources did not need to be brought to bear to defend him. Kevin Jennings, however, is not just a gay man, but a man who believes in the full gay rights agenda, where men and boys can have sexual relationships free of prudish moral people frowning.

Jennings has championed NAMBLA's causes and lauded a pedophilia advocate.

He even wrote the forward to a book called "Queering Elementary Education." That's right, Jennings wrote the forward to a book that, in its own description advocates the aggressive homosexual agenda among elementary school students. From the book: "queering education happens when we look at schooling upside down and view childhood from the inside out." No irony is intended apparently in that description.

Americans of moral decency should be stunned to know the President of the United States would put in charge of "safe schools," a man who encourages predatory relationships between young boys and grown men.

Barack Obama has done exactly that. Has he no shame?

        Americans of moral decency should be stunned to know the President of the United States would put in charge of "safe schools," a man who encourages predatory relationships between young boys and grown men.

        There's no evidence that Jennings encouraged any relationship - this has already been debunked. His caution that he hoped that the student knew to use a condom was intended to convey the message that he hoped that the student would know to use a condom any time he had sex.

        And Jennings has said that he should have provided better counselling to the student. But just because he should have given the teenager better advice doesn't mean that he ever suggested that a predatory relatonship was a good idea!

      The Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools (OSDFS) administers, coordinates, and recommends policy for improving quality and excellence of programs and activities that are designed to:

      Provide financial assistance for drug and violence prevention activities and activities that promote the health and well being of students in elementary and secondary schools, and institutions of higher education. Activities may be carried out by State and local educational agencies and by other public and private nonprofit organizations.

      Participate in the formulation and development of ED program policy and legislative proposals and in overall Administration policies related to violence and drug prevention; drafting program regulations.

      Participate in interagency committees, groups, and partnerships related to drug and violence prevention, coordinating with other Federal agencies on issues related to comprehensive school health, and advising the Secretary on the formulation of comprehensive school health education policy.

      Participate with other Federal agencies in the development of a national research agenda for drug and violence prevention.

      Administer the Department's programs relating to character and civics education.


      I know this won't post well, since it is a cut and paste but; here is my problem.
      Jennings is not a "Czar". Anyone who is charge of an agency that actually SETS public policy is what is generally termed a "Czar".
      As can be seen by the above quote, that is not his job. Per the article "administers, coordinates, and recommends policy"
      Anyone who says that Jennings is going to put a "Pro Gay, Pro Pedophile" policy in place in the schools is blowing heavy smoke.

      That doesn't even take into consideration the outright LIES that are being told.

        As an aside, I should note, I do not have any issue with anyone who has reasonable objections to anyone who is appointed to a public office.

        However; just because someone is of a different political party, different race, different gender, different sexual orientation, etc, etc, etc is NOT a good reason for objection. As the kids say: Let's keep it real folks. Debate is good. Screaming, frothing at the mouth attacks on someone is not.
