Jim Holt Still An Idiot

[Doug]

On National Public Radio's Morning Edition, reporter Jacqueline Froelich failed to challenge Arkansas Republican state Sen. Jim Holt's assertion that "there are thousands of studies, actually ... over 10,000" that show "the homosexual family or the environment is problematic for the child." Froelich did not address Holt's dubious figure of 10,000 studies, which would be possible only if a new study reaching that conclusion had been released every day for the past 27 years. Froelich also did not mention that numerous scientific studies show just the opposite of Holt's assertion.

NPR was bought out by its corporate financers over a decade ago. That's what happens when you don't fully fund public broadcasting - they either go off the air or sell out to stay on the air. Fund drives have only provided approx. 1/3 of the necessary money and lots of individuals without a single voice (can we invent a "union" for public broadcasting supporters) will always get "out shouted" by corporate solidarity.

That's the same crap that the fundy on Penn & Tellor's Bullshit show spewed. They roasted it. I bet they both heard it on Dobson.
You ought to challenge Holt to a debate, on any subject. He is probably desperate for attention now that he is unemployed, and he is so stupid (like Briney) any topic he tries to speak on he is going to make a fool of himself. People don't get that misinformed by accident, they have to really work at it.

Holt's a preacher, isn't he? You know the fundies believe anything a preacher says is "gospel". Doesn't matter if it isn't possible. If Preacher Holt needs 10,000 studies saying gay parents harm kids, god will miraculously put them in some library or another only visited by "good christians".
