Jews: Check, Homos: Still Outsourcing Them

By Karl-Thomas Musselman

I can't believe that I didn't notice this in the past couple of days. Apparently Gov. Goodhair has apologized for his Jewish Representative at the Christian school in Fort Worth where he signed HJR 6 into 'reality' (though it didn't need a signature at all), a Jewish leader who is actually the head of a Christian Church that seeks to convert Jews to Christianity...

So I read here.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry has issued and apology over the way his office handled the signing of a bill that sends to voters a proposed amendment to the state constitution to ban same-sex marriage.

Perry apologized to the Jewish community for inviting the leader of a so-called Jews for Jesus group to the event to represent the Jewish community, but he has not apologized to gays for saying that if they want to marry they should get out of Texas.

The governor's signature was not needed on the legislation, but Perry's office organized an "official signing" ceremony anyway and decided to hold it at a Christian school in Fort Worth so the event could become a photo opportunity for Perry.

Representatives from the major church groups and religions were invited. Among those asked to attend was David Stone, the leader of a group that calls itself the Beth Yeshua congregation in Fort Worth. But, Stone's group is no synagogue. It's a Christian Church that seeks to convert Jews to Christianity.

Stone was introduced as a rabbi and representative of the Jewish community. The nature of Stone's ministry was not known, Perry's office says, until he gave the benediction at the event.

The Anti-Defamation League immediately complained.

Perry apologized for having Stone represented as a rabbi, but dismissed the organization’s complaint that the signing should not have held at a religious school.

But while Perry has apologized for the fake rabbi he is not taking back remarks he made to reporters about gays following the signing.

I can't even make up shit that's more outrageous than this.

Yes it is sad that you cant even make that shit up on your own. Itd be a good tv sitcom if it werent so true.

Perry's pandering to the Christian right is only going to get him deeper in shit as the election gets closer.
