Bam Bam goes bye bye from Concerned Women for America

Matt "Bam Bam" Barber, one of the "like-minded men with Concerned Women for America," has decided to leave one of the curiously estrogen-free posts at the organization, policy director for cultural issues (homo-obsessive Bob Knight was the director of its Culture and Family Institute). The Advocate:

Barber is moving on to work with two strongly pro-family organizations in Virginia, the Liberty University School of Law and Liberty Counsel.
CWA founder and chairman Beverly LaHaye said, "Matt Barber has been a tremendous asset to CWA and leaves an indelible imprint on the organization; his intellect and passion about cultural and family issues are second to none. We will miss his very relevant and timely articles, as well as his influence on the broader conservative movement.

Mrs. LaHaye will certainly have a large pool of wingnuts to solicit resumes from. I wonder if Matt's buddy The Peter will toss his name in for consideration.

To give you an example of the kind of bottom-feeding, nasty behavior of Barber engaged in (and for those of you new to the blog) -- he and LaBarbera did their best back in 2007 to blame me for a commenter's alleged threats (that I removed from the site once alerted). Law enforcement later said there was no basis for action, but the real goal was to silence me by harassing me out of my day job by engaging in a ridiculous online campaign to "alert" my employer about my "anti-Christian" writing -- as if my job has anything to do with my personal blog. Just ludicrous. Of course the people at my workplace laughed at these clowns and the university issued a statement about free speech to those who emailed in support of my blogging. You can read all about it below the fold of this Blend post.

So these characters aren't just harmless buffoons to mock (though it's entertaining to do so); they are wingnut welfare "agents of intolerance," to quote the Tool McCain. What if I worked in the public sector or for a homophobic for-profit employer? Sitting here in NC I could be fired simply for being gay and publicly so -- and these hatemongers know that. They just didn't get lucky that time around.

Looks like Bam Bam got the dream appointment he's been spending his whole life hating for: a cushy job at Jerry Falwell's old stomping grounds. Can we say "passing the torch of intolerance"? Part of me wonders if this was an in-kind promotion, or if there were other nefarious doings bubbling underneath the surface (cough...embezzlement...cough). Regardless, another Hate Institution gets a new daddy. Only time will tell until the real truth emerges.

will it ever end?

2. I think we're witnessing the final generation.

Even younger evangelicals have tired of preaching hate.
