Zombie has written a memo to Media Matters pointing out the folly of their attack-dog techniques in defending the ‘fine’ reputation of the Safe-Schools Czar – Kevin Jennings. Media Matters is outraged at those ‘hateful’ and ‘extremist’ media outlets such as Fox News, RedState and Rush Limbaugh who would dare take offense at openly gay relationships between a grown man and a 15-yr-old. Go figure… They claim that the relationship was ostensibly okay because the young boy was in fact 16, which is the age of consent in Massachusetts. If that were my son, I’d still be furious whether he was the legal ‘age of consent’ or not. In my book, a child under 18 is still a child and it still qualifies as pedophilia.

Even if you get around that point, the more damning point here has to do with Harry Hay and NAMBLA. Whether Hay was a member or not of NAMBLA, he was their #1 spokesman, so the defense by Media Matters is fatally flawed. In fact, Media Matters is inflaming the whole subject and guaranteeing that Jennings will emerge as such an embarrassment to the White House that he will be forced to step down. I for one say good riddance. Stop bringing in people of dubious moral makeup, radicals and other loonies and bring on board some people that actually will do the right thing and what is best for America.

Take time to read Zombie’s excellent rebuttal to Media Matters and the following points:

Media Matters’ attempted rebuttals of the Jennings-Hay-NAMBLA scandal: A summary

1. When Kevin Jennings gave his speech praising Harry Hay, he didn’t know that Hay supported NAMBLA.

2. Kevin Jennings was praising the admirable side of Harry Hay, not the reprehensible side of Harry Hay.

3. None of the mainstream media’s obituaries of Harry Hay mentioned his NAMBLA connections, therefore he must not have been a bad guy after all.

4. Harry Hay once said he wasn’t an actual member of NAMBLA.

All of these points are rather feeble arguments and can be easily counter-rebutted.

In my opinion, Media Matters doesn’t matter at all any more in the scheme of real reporting. They are nothing but a leftist teleprompter that would defend Satan himself if it helped the progressive movement… I’ll close with a quote from Zombie that I love:

The hounds smell the scent of czar — and they’re straining at the leash.
