Update on Jim Naughton: Fraudulent Lies and the Liars who Tell Them

Proven liar Jim Naughton ...defends his slanderous lie:
I am not sure why defenders of Dan Martins' intervention at General Convention think that their cause is helped by presenting the entirety of his remarks. There is no difference between saying we have covered ourselves in shame by permitting bishops to authorize blessings of same sex relationships and saying that we have covered ourselves in shame by walking away from the Windsor Report--when the way in which we signal that we are walking away from the Windsor Report permitting bishops to authorize blessings of same sex marriages. Additionally, if you want to cast Father Martins as someone who respects those he disagrees with, does it help your case to produce a statement in which he dismisses his opponents with the same phrase Jesus used to dismiss Judas?

One can argue, as some of you have, that Father Martins has spoken more temperately on this issue elsewhere. I don't dispute that. But these words were spoken before an assembly of more than 1,000 people moments before an historic vote and can't be discounted because you've found other words more to your liking. (read it here)
Give it up Jim. Not even your own sycophants are buying it.
