A number of Vision 2020 posters have commented upon the phony pretense by Christ Church that it is modeled on a Scottish village kirk. That those in this phony, certainly non-christian clique are a bunch of liars and frauds, let alone an ersatz Scottish kirk, discerning readers need look no further than the
<span style="font-style: italic;">Daily News</span> columns of Ed Iverson.<br><br>Iverson is frequently caught writing huge lies to support the racist, homophobic, theocratic, and sexist views of that pseudo-religious clique (but really a most enriching family business).
<br><br>A good example pointing out such lies is a recent letter to the editor of the <span style="font-style: italic;">Daily News</span> by Leslie Fort (posted below) captioned <span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>Columnist's hate rhetoric twists the truth
</b></span>.<br><br>When a columnist like Iverson resorts to lying to the extent of misstating statistics an exaggerated 300 - 500 times, readers know that he and those he is employed by and represents are humongous liars and that their views are so far from reality that they can only support them by monstrous, hateful, and very stupid lies.
<br><br>Not only have this misanthropic group of liars, pretenders, and hypocrites infected the OP/ED ages of the <span style="font-style: italic;">Daily News</span>, but they infect the news reporting functions as well. When two members of this bizarre cult were recently convicted of child sexual molestation (one whose horrific actions directly affected a large number of children 2 - 12 years old, including those of an unfortunate cult family), the only news item the
<span style="font-style: italic;">Daily News</span> ran was an interview with cult priest Douglas Wilson and NSA yesman Roy Atwood complaining about how they (Wilson and Atwood, who by their construction of a boarding house system were part of the cause of these horrid crimes themselves) were the real victims (not the children and their families).
<br> of these outrageous sexual predator crimes.<br><br>{The infection of the OP/ED pages of the <span style="font-style: italic;">Daily News</span> by the phony kirk is further illustrated by editorials by Murf Raquet who in the spirit of the yellowest journalism supports NSA staying downtown with writings rife with obvious, inexcusable factual errors on key points of the dispute.}
<br><br>One would have to guess that <span style="font-style: italic;">Daily News</span> personnel Nathan Alford and Murf Raquet are now or shortly will be made honorary elders of Christ Church, and that Wilson and Atwood are now or will be made honorary publisher and hack, respectively, of the
<span style="font-style: italic;">Daily News</span>.<br><br>I respectfully disagree with Lesile Fort in one respect. She wishes Iverson to be taken from the pages of the <span style="font-style: italic;">Daily News</span>
. <br><br>I think we need to see more of Iverson's writings. They superbly illustrate the arrogance, dishonesty, unchristianity, intellectual bankruptcy, fraudulence, and ignorance of this family enriching enterprise falsely, insultingly, and ungodly masquerading as a Scottish kirk. It also illustrates the cowardice of the
<span style="font-style: italic;">Daily News</span> to fight a real threat to the community and its children, but instead provide space for this blasphemous business to perpetrate their frauds and unholy harms upon the community and its children.

</p><p>Ed Iverson is a "contemporary comedy and tragedy of society."
</p><p>
</p><p>I have had it with Iverson and his Saturday morning rants
(Opinion, Sept. 9 & 10) It's supposed to be an editorial page, not
a propaganda page. He would have us believe the world is black and
white. Most of us know the world is black, white and so many shades of
gray that are complex and ever changing. The fact is that everyone's
life experiences are different and lead to different views. If Ed
Iverson's world view is as narrow as he tells us then so be it. But it
is my right to my world view. Don't like it? Tough – welcome to
grown-up land.
</p><p>
</p><p>He stated "… according to the CDC, homosexual men are 1,000
times more likely to contract AIDS than someone in the general
population …" I went to the CDC Web site and could not find any facts
to verify this claim. I e-mailed the CDC and gave them the quote. Here
is part of the information I received from them: </p><p>
</p><p>MSM (Men who have Sex with Men) are slightly more than 2 times
more likely to have HIV than non-MSM, however, that profile is
changing. While HIV infections in MSM remain relatively stable,
infections in heterosexual persons, especially women, are increasing.
</p><p>
</p><p>This seems to say that not only are homosexual men not 1,000
times more likely to get AIDS than I am (he only missed it by 997) but
that this is a health issue that affects all Americans. It is typical
of hate rhetoric to twist the truth.
</p><p>
</p><p>I am tired of the hateful rhetoric. Ed Iverson must go. A
community with two public universities, many faith communities that
preach tolerance for others, and people who believe in respecting our
differences deserve more from the <i>Daily News</i> than someone preaching hate.
