A Brilliant Attempt at Guilt By Association

Pam’s House Blend points out that the disgusting Fred Phelps is furious at the birth of Mary Cheney’s son, Samuel:

Vice President Dick Cheney and his goofy wife Lynne are Mr. and Mrs. Antichrist America. If anybody now doubts whether God has cursed America with an irreversible curse, let him gaze upon the photo-op politically inspired picture, put out yesterday, of these two old fools who are holding dyke Daughter Mary’s newborn bastard son and pretending to like it. Just look at that picture–a shameless sodomite nation.

According to Pam, this is only “slightly more outlandish” than Matt Barber’s statement on the matter:

Ms. Cheney apparently intends to have a woman by the name of Heather Poe, whom she has identified as her lesbian “partner,” assist in the rearing of her son; but unfortunately, Ms. Poe can never replace little Samuel David’s other parent – his dad. One wonders if Ms. Cheney has ever contemplated what her childhood may have been like if she had been denied her own father.

What’s really outlandish is Pam’s attempt to link Mr. Barber’s defense of the importance of a “father” (and yes, that would have to be a male) in the life of a child (particularly a boy.) with Fred Phelps’ hateful venomous rant.

The goal here is to declare anyone who believes in traditional family values, the role of fathers or any such thing to be on par with racist bigots and Fred Phelps is the left’s foil.

I’ve often said that the Fred Phelps problem could be solved by simply ignoring him. If he didn’t get the media coverage, he’d probably die out, but you see the leftist media covers him with the goal of using him to tar Christians and to provide a pretext for anti-Christian biases and attacks. The sad thing is that more often than not these sleazy guilty by association schemes are more or less successful.
