Sweet Irony, and words for the day

elfsIf the name "Randall Terry" rings any bells, it may be that in the summer of 1998 he led an organized assault on abortion clinics in the Greater Seattle area as head of Operation Rescue. His work was relatively unsucessful, and ultimately Terry had to distance himself from Operation Rescue because of a multi-million dollar fine leveled against himself for leading "a criminal conspiracy to interefere with commerce."
Randall Terry has proven to be, as one Christian minister put it, "an excellent fundraiser for... Randall Terry!" Terry and his wife of 19 years adopted four children, and then Terry, who was still in hock to the National Organization for Women, divorced his wife, abandoned his children, and at 41 married his 22-year-old assistant, which whom he'd been having an affair. He collected donations from his supporters, and then bought a $423,000 house-- in Florida, not his state of residency New York, because in the south bankruptcy laws prevent the seziure of a home. He then filed for bankruptcy, voiding the money he owed NOW. He honeymooned in Rome.
Randall Terry has campaigned against abortion, against homosexuality, against art. He told a clinic escort, "When I, or people like me, are running the country, you'd better flee, because we will find you, we will try you, and we will execute you. I mean every word of it. I will make it part of my mission to see to it that you are tried and executed."
Randall Terry today is in pain. Aww. Life is hard. Because today, his son Jamiel came out of the closet. Randall bad mouths Jamiel in a post, saying the boy isn't gay, he's "troubled," doing it for the money, has a petty criminal past, "has a trail of wrecked friendships and family relationships because of deceit, money fraud and crossed boundaries.... My son prostituted my name for his profit."
Hey, like father, like son. All I can say is I hope Jamiel figures out what it means to be an adult sometime soon, and Randall winds up in jail again.
Kitchen Pass: n. Permission from one's spouse to attend an event or go on an outing. Man, do I know how this one feels.
Meat Tooth: n. A craving or fondness for meat.

Date: 2005-01-27 05:10 pm (UTC)I am Jamiel Terry I just read your comments about my father and about my coming out. First I do know what it means to be an adult, and 95% of what my father said in that article either wasnt true or deserves an explanation. I was never convicted of a DWI I was arrested, and I wrote a bad check to a Dr. and was short $3.00 in my account and knew it, but paid it back, and my psycho ex bf took me to court over a cell phone bill that was his. I cant believe when people believe what they read. It just boggles my mind. And even some of the things you said about my father weren't true. My father did not say that comment about "hunting you down" to a clinic worker he said it at the U.S. Taxpayers Convention and I was there...and freaked when he said it...and he immediatley regreted it. Anyway its just my opinion that you get your facts straight before you write a much of things on the internet for everyone to see.
