National Public Radio’s Michel Martin did a segment on Uganda’s growing crackdown on its gay population, and decided to interview Holocaust-revisionist hate-group leader Scott Lively, who is truly one of the most horrific religious right extremists in America.He was extensively involved in Uganda's proposed "Kill the Gays" bill, and the now just passed "Jail the Gays" bill.
How did NPR’s Michel Martin describe Lively to her audience? Simply as “Evangelical leader Scott Lively.”
That’s it.
No mention of the fact that Lively was labeled a Holocaust revisionist by HateWatch for his “thoroughly-discredited” 1995 tome, “The Pink Swastika,” which tried to argue that gays were the really force behind the Holocaust.
No mention of Lively’s organization, Abiding Truth Ministries, that was officially-designated a “hate group” by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
You don't just call him "Evangelical leader Scott Lively." At the very least you call him a controversial anti-gay activist, unless you are so cowed by the Talibaptists that you should quit journalism and take up knitting.
