The Lies Of Rick Warren

By The Daily Dish
Apr 7 2009, 1:42 AM ET

Pam Spaulding fisks away. By far the most egregious lie:

During the whole Proposition 8 thing, I never once went to a meeting, never once issued a statement, nevernever once even gave an endorsement in the two years Prop 8 was going.

Here is his televised statement of support for Prop 8. Who are you going to believe: Rick Warren on Larry King or your lying eyes?



Then this:

Not a single criticism came from any gay leader who knows me and knows that for years, we’ve been working together on AIDS issues and all these other things.

Some of us who don't know you defended your right to give the inaugural invocation. But how can we get to know you when you refuse to meet us in public or private? Pastor Rick, at some point, the vast gap between your words and your actions needs to be filled. The invitation to a public debate on Christianity and homosexuality remains open.
