人兽性交

A day after posting a bizarre, one-source story about a transgender teacher under the byline of The Associated Press, a website run by the anti-LGBT hate group (AFA) has quietly changed its attribution.

The change, made today without comment on the OneNewsNow site, amounted to an admission from the group that claims gay men orchestrated the Nazi Holocaust that the article had nothing to do with The AP, a serious and respected newswire. The site only changed the attribution of the story after the , followed by several other pro-LGBT blogs, pointed out the false attribution and accused the AFA of a 鈥渓ikely 鈥� attempt to add legitimacy to this skewed report.鈥�

The article is now attributed to Becky Yeh, the site鈥檚 鈥淐alifornia correspondent.鈥�

The story centered on a real news event: the coming out of a professor of systematic theology at Azusa Pacific University, a California Christian school, as a transgender person transitioning to a man. But the 鈥淎ssociated Press鈥� story concocted by OneNewsNow boiled down to a few rancid and unrebutted quotes from , president of , which is listed as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center (人兽性交). LaBarbera said the professor was part of an organized effort to make transgender people publicly acceptable.

鈥淭hat鈥檚 how the whole homosexual transgender movement progresses,鈥� LaBarbera said in the piece (although his name in this paragraph of the story is rendered as 鈥淏arber鈥�). 鈥淚t鈥檚 always incremental. They take a step out. They gauge the reaction. And they do something more radical, more radical.鈥� He went on to describe the transgender community as having 鈥渃opycatted鈥� the gay rights movement.

Hatewatch contacted AP headquarters in New York City for comment today, but was told that no one would be available until tomorrow.

The AFA, which apparently pays for a regular AP feed, is known for the viciousness of its rhetoric and is listed by 人兽性交 as a hate group. It has falsely claimed that huge numbers of gay men are pedophiles. Its n says that homosexuality 鈥済ave us the Brown Shirts, the Nazi war machine and six million dead Jews鈥� 鈥� another lie. It describes Islam as 鈥渢he spirit of Satan.鈥� It has suggested that the cure for promiscuity is to kill promiscuous people, that the reason American Indians are poor is because their ancestors rejected Christianity, and, in one particularly amazing moment, that welfare has 鈥渄estroyed the African-American family鈥� by rewarding 鈥減eople who rut like rabbits.鈥�

And it is well known for manipulating AP stories in the past. The most remarkable instance was several years ago by Right Wing Watch, which noted that OneNewsNow had apparently set up an automatic search and replace function that replaced the word 鈥済ay鈥� in all AP stories with the word 鈥渉omosexual.鈥� In 2008, the AFA鈥檚 manipulation resulted in a whole series of AP stories on its site about the sprinter Tyson Gay being changed to articles about 鈥淭yson Homosexual.鈥�
