		<description>Obviously, Teh Peter is much more attracted to the strapping clean-cut all-American type, which is evidenced by the fact that he&#039;s posted the kid&#039;s picture like 956,985 times, and isn&#039;t as much into the Latino out-of-the-closet type.

		<description>Has anyone noticed that LaBarbera&#039;s AFTAH website/blog does not even allow commenting by its readers? (His prior organization, the Illinois Family Institute does not allow comments either.)

Pete posts his garbage, but there is no way to follow up or dissent on the site.

If &quot;the Left&quot; is so radical and hateful, then why is it that bloggers like Box Turtle Bulletin, Pam, Wayne Besen and others allow its readers the ability to post comments on an article?

There&#039;s a very good reason for this: LaBarbera knows that if he permits follow ups to his articles on his site, his true followers-- all 6 of them-- will bolt when they learn the real truth from us.

He likes to say we stifle the truth. Well, here&#039;s an open challenge Pete:  Put your website where your mouth is and enable unmoderated commenting by your readers. That&#039;s ALL readers, regardless of opinion.</description>

		<description>Ephilei, only Brett VanAdslen is called “strapping, clean-cut, All-American looking young man,” by LaBarbera.  His victim, a Latino named Steven Velasquez, is called &quot;the homosexual.&quot; I agree that this suggests a racist distinction.  Not to mention an even more obvious antigay bigotry.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve heard that Peter goes to leather events dressed accordingly.  If so, have any of these photos appeared online?  And wouldn&#039;t photos of Peter in leather gear turn off the few remaining anti-gay supporters of his work?  Just wondering.

I&#039;d love to know what his kids think.

		<description>I like to think I&#039;m somewhat attune to perceiving racism, but what&#039;s racist about &quot;clean cut, all american looking?&quot; Do hispanics and blacks not look American?</description>

		<description>I find it interesting that LaBarbera would team up with the likes of David Duke and not expect people to raise an eyebrow.  Duke is only one of the most famous racists in the country.</description>

		<description>Pete has such pathetic delusions of grandeur that he believes saying anything anti &quot;Peter LaBarbera&quot; is saying something anti all Christians.

I&#039;ve got news for you, Pete.   You don&#039;t speak for all Christians, most regular people think you&#039;re a joke.

If God wanted an official spokesperson, I&#039;d think he&#039;d aim higher than a leather obsessed busybody with low web traffic.

He is the almighty after all.</description>
