Showdown: Rev. Ken Hutcherson & Goldy on the Dave Ross Show

David Goldstein is not gay and never has been gay... yet he self-describes as a weak, soft man; and a liberal Jew to boot.

Nonetheless, he'll go mano a mano with "Dr. Blackman," AKA Rev. Ken Hutcherson, who, at 280 lbs. and 6'4" is the biggest, baddest-ass, Christian homophobe in the valley.

He self describes has a strong, hard man; and Christian to a fault.

Lucky for Goldy, it''ll be by phone; at 9a on KIRO, Tuesday.

Goldy is filling in for Dave Ross (KIRO m-f, 9a-12p) this week. (Dave's out of town for nearly two weeks visiting family and filling in for CBS Radio's The Osgood File).

On Monday's show, he interviewed Valerie Tarico, a Seattle psychologist and former fundamentalist who's been examining Seattle megachurches, lately.

Hutcherson is pastor of Redmond's mega-Antioch Bible Church, and former Seahawk. He shaves his huge head; and is nationally notorious for his extreme, eliminationist activities, and his many, many press releases.

He really hates the queers.

Last week, a Seattle P-I op-ed, "Articles Of Faith: Ridiculing gay men is hateful way to preach" by Anthony Robinson included this:

On a Sunday when Tarico was present, Hutcherson was preaching on gender roles. During his sermon, Hutcherson stated, "God hates soft men" and "God hates effeminate men." Hutcherson went on to say, "If I was in a drugstore and some guy opened the door for me, I'd rip his arm off and beat him with the wet end."

"That was a joke," Hutcherson said Friday, when I asked him about the comment.

You gotta admit, that's pretty funny: it's the sense of humor that killed 6 million Jews.

Questions we're hoping Goldy will ask Hutch:

• What are you wearing?
• Have you ever killed anybody?
• Can a girlie man enter the Kingdom of Heaven even if he's not gay?
• What do you mean, "wet end?"
• What's your sign?

Hutcherson misrepresented himself in 2006 as a White House envoy to Latvia, and also joined up with the thuggish, Latvian "Watchmen on the Walls,” some of the most virulent, violent anti-gay activists on the planet who held a conference in Lynnwood with Hutch last year.

A humble man, Hutch told The New York Times' Sarah Kershaw last year, "God plus Hutch is enough."

Listened yesterday and I think Goldy's doin a great job. He's respectful to each guest and caller and he keeps the pace going so that he keeps listener's interest. I've got to think that if not KIRO, there is a spot for you on the airwaves out there somewhere. Good stuff. :)

...and he gives a good lead-in to King Dory's (that's a girl's name you know) show.

I can't imagine this debate being worth listening to.

People rightly complain all the time about KVI's new Kirby Bible Show. Why then does Goldy turn around and bring a minister on, unless it's to score some cheap shots and get chuckles by belittling someone's religion.

I would much rather have Goldy vs. Shark, or Bob Williams, or Tim Eyman, or Paul Guppy.

Now if Goldy would bring on some local Mormon minister for purposes of belittling, that I'd listen to. If nothing else I'd be curious to see how long before somebody in Utah would cut the juice to Goldy's mike.

Good job goldy! Go after the Christian minister who preaches hate - expose hypocrisy in their own words.

The way to defang the hateful is to expose them to the light of day and reason. Good people will not tolerate hate speech from or against anyone - I am proud of goldy for tackling this hate-filled monster.
Goldy may describe himself as weak - but he is the stronger man for standing up for what is right.

And if I ever see Hutcherson, I'll be sure to be polite and open the door for him - and if he tries anything - well his fat soft ass is going down.

[Duffman]

All believable, except this part:

"..and if he tries anything - well his fat soft ass is going down."

..are you serious, Clark? :)

Thanks to Goldy's informative guest yesterday, I now realize there's a good chance that the fat Rev is hiding homosexual urges.

Maybe he'll come out of the closet on today's show and start talking like Karel.

Reverend Hutcherson says women must submit to men. Are the women of this blog ready to submit to me?

[Duffman]

Hey DT, they 'submit' all the time; whadda ya talkin 'bout...you do mean opinions, don't you. :)

"You gotta admit, that's pretty funny: it's the sense of humor that killed 6 million Jews."

No, its really not. What killed 6 million Jews is National SOCIALISM. A group of socialists using demonization of a minority as a TOOL to seize more power away from the people and concentrate it in an all powerful leftist central government.

The way liberals today demonize conservatives and particularly Christian conservatives in order to seize more power for big central government (Jews in Germany opposed the socialist agenda as well) and it will ALWAYS be the left in America that is closest to NAZI germany because NAZI's were leftists and because it is the left that wants an all-powerful, dictatorial central government that dictates everything from how much we make to what light bulbs we can buy to how much medical care we can have.

It has always been and will always be those who favor powerful central government who are the danger to the world. The Jews were not rounded up by talk show hosts. They were rounded up by people like you who want government to have the power to make things "fair". Nazis portrayed Jews as "greedy" the exact same way liberals portray the enemies of their agenda as greedy.

You are dangerously ignorant and dangerously stupid.
