<h2>Here is the part where I tell you that the OP contains no news reporting, because the source of the "article" is worldnetdaily, and the "organization" quoted in the article, "FIRE" is C-fucking-N-fucking-P, influenced.... i.e. rabidly conservative, politicized christian fundamentalist crap posing as "rights watchdog"!</h2>

Here's the speech by FIRE co-founder, Kors, as he gushes praise on the CNP audience. Lil Georgie was at the same 1999 CNP meeting, waiting to give his secret speech to these enemies of secular, open, democratic government:

PROFESSOR KORS: <h3>I am singularly privileged to be in your company. It is rare in academic life that one finds oneself surrounded by warriors for human liberty, human responsibility and human dignity. It is truly a privilege to be here.</h3>

I should like to talk about the assault upon liberty and dignity in American higher education today....

Worldnetdaily is not a news reporting source. How could it be, given this background:

Quote:

http://conwebwatch.tripod.com/storie...ndlawsuit.html

...."<i>With respect to the 2000 presidential election, WND expressed no corproate editorial opinion as to whether voters should cast their vote for any candidate in opposition to any other candidate; particularly, WND expressed no corproate editorial opinion with respect to whether Albert Gore, Jr. or George W. Bush was the more suitable candidate to hold the office of President."</i>

This is disingenuous at best. As ConWebWatch has <a href="http://conwebwatch.tripod.com/stories/2000/bushdui.html#Anchor-UPDATE-50055">noted</a>, the day before the 2000 election, WND's commentary page carried no fewer than nine articles that were either anti-Gore or pro-Bush. Moreover, Farah -- who, as founder, CEO and editor of WorldNetDaily, can credibly described as its "corporate" voice -- wrote in an Oct. 25, 2000, <a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=15075">column</a> that "There are at least a thousand good reasons not to vote for Al Gore for president," stated that "I have told you over and over again that Al Gore is unfit for the presidency" and asserted that "he will turn the presidency into a kind of neo-paganistic ayatollah-like system of oppression from which this country will never recover." An Oct. 4, 2000, Farah <a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=15061">column</a> called Gore "a criminal, pure and simple. He's a political charlatan, a huckster out of the same mold as Clinton." And in an Sept. 22, 2000, <a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=15053">column</a>, Farah called Gore "truly evil."

Looks like somebody has, in fact, expressed a "corproate editorial opinion with respect to whether Albert Gore, Jr." is a "suitable candidate to hold the office of President."

Further, it has bragged about the series' alleged effect on the 2000 election: A June 2001 <a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=23048">article</a> stated that "WorldNetDaily’s uncompromising series on Gore and his cronies, such as Clark Jones, arguably played a major factor in Gore’s loss, according to some Tennessee political observers,", while a June 2007 <a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=56280">article</a> bragged that a new book on Hillary Clinton cited the series as having "played a role in Gore's loss" in 2000. That also appears to conflict with WND's affadavit claim that it had no "corproate editorial opinion" about Gore......

<h2>And, here is the part where I show you that the "reporter" of the worldnetdaily article in this thread's OP is a delusional (thinking that he was going to be working for a "news" website), christian fundamentalist activist in his own right: </h2>

Veteran AP reporter joins WND team
Bob Unruh moves to online news leader after almost 3 decades with wire service
Posted: September 14, 2006

WorldNetDaily.com

WorldNetDaily has added to its team of journalists a veteran reporter with almost three decades' experience working for the world's largest news organization, CEO Joseph Farah announced today.

Robert Unruh has left the Associated Press to join WND's fulltime staff.

"We're very glad to welcome Bob to WND," said Farah, who added: "The experience and news judgment he's developed from spending decades as a daily news reporter and editor will serve him well at the Internet's premiere news website." .....

.....Unruh married Patricia Knight in 1979 and they have two homeschooled children. They work with the startup branch of Christ the King Community Church in Gilpin County, a casino haven where fewer than 4 percent of the people attend a church.

"While I've enjoyed many experiences in wire service work, <h3>I'm more than excited to be able to work with the next level of journalists reporting the world through the unfiltered lens of WorldNetDaily," Unruh said. "While WND already has the best report on the Internet,</h3> there are many additional stories that, I believe, should be told and I hope to be working on some of those."

"I'm honored to have the privilege of working with Joseph Farah and the many other writers and columnists who give WorldNetDaily such a high-impact report."

School district, family resolve lawsuit over Bible club invitations

By The Associated Press
04.04.05

DENVER — A school district has agreed to let a Gilpin County fifth-grader hand out materials at her school promoting a religious club.

The agreement reached last week in U.S. District Court resolved a lawsuit the girl’s parents had filed against Gilpin County RE-1 School District.

The district also agreed to pay $1 in damages and $10,500 in attorneys’ fees and costs to the family of Patricia and Robert Unruh, who is a newsman for the Associated Press in Denver.

Lawyers for both sides said they were pleased with the agreement.

Robert and Patricia Unruh said in their lawsuit that their daughter tried to pass out invitations to her Bible club during non-class hours at Gilpin County Elementary School but was stopped after Principal Deb Benitez said she had received complaints from other parents.

Benitez tried to resolve the dispute by distributing the materials to families who did not object. The Unruhs sued, saying other groups such as the Girl Scouts could advertise by handing out literature to students.

The school has agreed to let the girl’s mother advertise her Vacation Bible School in designated areas.

“The solution provides for relief for students, not just Mrs. Unruh, but all students and recognizes the First Amendment rights for all students,” said the family’s attorney, Michael J. Norton.

"FIRE" and worldnetdaily are offensive and worthless to relevant discussion on this forum. "FIRE" is a function of CNP. the Council for National Policy. Rabid christian fundamentalist propaganda "Ops" do not lend to or further our discussions here.
