Media Matters Stands By Jennings & His Organization's Teen Fisting Conference
Posted by Jim Hoft on Monday, December 14, 2009, 12:02 PM
Media Matterscontinues to downplay Obama’s Safe Schools Czar Kevin Jennings role at the Fistgate 2000 Conference where school children were taught about fisting and other dangerous sexual practices.
Here is how Media Matters is defending the “Safe” School Czar today:
Hoft’s new Jennings claim is a dud
Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft is again attempting to link Department of Education official Kevin Jennings to a workshop for high school students which included explicit discussions of sex that took place at a 2000 GLSEN/Boston conference. Hoft’s new “Explosive” claim is that a Massachusetts teacher who “wanted to remain anonymous out of safety considerations for herself and her family” claims “that there is ‘no way’ that Obama’s Safe School Czar did not know about the pornographic and sexually explicit material that was presented and discussed at the conference.” Of course, neither Hoft nor the anonymous teacher provide any actual evidence that Jennings knew the specific explicit content that would be discussed at that workshop; when he was made aware after the fact, he reportedly criticized it.
As Ed Morrissey said:
Shorter Media Matters — “Yes, Jennings was there, yes he gave the keynote speech, and yes, he was in charge of the group that staged this conference — but how dare you insinuate that he approved of it!” Noted.
Kevin Jennings founded GLSEN. He was the keynote speaker at the 2000 conference. A GLSEN activist claimed that the state officials (Jennings was a state official) knew about the fisting and spit or swallow lecture because they helped develop it and it was presented previously at least 5 times. A teacher at the 2000 conference claims that Jennings was active and knew every detail about the conference.
And, the conference literature even talked about the sex workshops for teens (page 8):
Obviously, the workshop did not surprise the workshop attendees. It was published in the conference program. The claim that Jennings had no idea on what was going on at the conference is ridiculous.
It should also be noted that Jennings’ GLSEN organization for years has pushed books that promote child porn and teen-adult sex.

(Sorry, full post below)….
This reminds me of the Holocaust deniers. Even though you had people who lived through this horror, officials were convicted, camps were discovered…it didn’t really happen.
This is the same argument Media Matters is trying to further. It’s bogus. It knows it. Common sense people know it. Jennings needs to step down and be immediately arrested. Heck, he should be arrested now. His organization promotes sexual practices between adults and children.
Media Matters is falling apart. To defend this depravity is the same as those who defended Hitler. The truth will overcome evil. I believe that’s what’s happening here. You can only hide ugliness for so long, and when it is exposed to the light, it’s like the wicked witch who was crushed under Dorothy’s house….she shriveled up into nothing. Or her sister, who melted with the water…evil disappears when it is exposed.

What do you expect from Media Matters that funded by Soros dating women almost look likes his grandchildren? Does Media Matters run by pedophiles?
Gregory of Yardale commented:
Medea Mutters has gone to the wall to defend Jennings. At his point, even if video of him demonstrating fisting on Emmanuel Lewis emerges, Medea Mutters will be like, “So?”

FACT: Source of Hoft’s claim is anti-gay “hate group”
A MassResistance Web page asserted that the explicit safe-sex booklet referred to by Hoft in his post “was distributed to hundreds of kids (middle school age and up) at Brookline High School, Brookline, MA, on April 30, 2005,” at a conference sponsored by GLSEN, which Jennings headed at the time [bold in original]. Hoft previously cited MassResistance in repeating that claim. The Southern Poverty Law Center has labeled MassResistance a “hate group” and its longtime leader reportedly denied that gays and lesbians were a target of the Holocaust and has compared the gay rights movement to the Nazis

This isn’t the GLSEN gay teen sex conference I thought I knew.
eaglewingz08 commented:
If Mr. Obama could spend twenty years in Rev Wright’s church and not hear a controversial word spoken there, then one surely could believe that Mr. Jennings could have one measly conference and not know anything that happened there.

Charles “Icarus” Johnson, the bide-riding hippie of the liberal blog LGF is also echoing Media Matters and taking up for Kevin Jennings, among his other posts of YouTube videos of guitarists who are better than him, beach photos of tankers, and stories from the Onion.
I dare not say commented:
So, this “fisting”, from what I gather, is, these guys scoop poop with their hand, from each other’s hineys. What merit would there be in this? How is teaching this to kids a good thing? Look, I’d rather be waterboarded than undergo that kind of torture. I think it’s unconstitutional to do that to someone for any reason. Jennings needs to go to jail.

from-0-to-10,
Yep…..there it is…..the obligitory attack the messenger and therefore ignore the message.
I just love that form of defense. (sarcasm intended)
Always attack the source of a story if you really don’t want to touch the substance of what is in said story.
The left’s playbook used to a tee. It was only a matter of time.
