http://www.bilerico.com/2010/04/tvcs_andrea_lafferty_a_zombie_queen_in_pastel.phpThe Traditional Values Coalition's Executive Director, Andrea Lafferty, has been making the media rounds to spew her anti-gay venom to anyone who'll listen. First she penned an op-ed for Roll Call newspaper full of lies about ENDA and then she was invited to debate HRC's Allyson Robinson on CBS's Washington Unplugged webcast. sin_of_lying.jpgBilerico Project Associate Editor Dr. Jillian Weiss responded in Roll Call and it has sent Lafferty over the edge.
Lafferty likes to couch her bigotry in that "I'm just using common sense" type of argument that invariably means that "common sense" has been replaced for "truth." She tries to get her followers to make a leap in logic that might seem appropriate, but on closer examination is found to be either completely factually untrue or a logical fallacy along the lines of "Cutting people is a crime. Surgeons cut people. Therefore, surgeons are criminals."
