Yesterday on his show, David Pakman tried to negotiate with Shirley Phelps-Roper of the Westboro Baptist Church, which plans to picket the funerals of the children in Newtown, Connecticut. Pakman offered airtime to the church in exchange for them not picketing the funerals.

The negotiations, it turns out, were not exactly realistic from their end.

Watch their talk, and the result of the negotiations, AFTER THE JUMP...

The WBC has already been targeted by hackers from the group Anonymous.

Former Navy Chaplain Says Marriage Equality Wins a Sign of the End Times, Americans Turning to Satan: VIDEO

Klingenschmitt

Radio host David Pakman welcomed anti-gay activist and former Navy chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt on to his show to get his reaction to the marriage equality wins in the past election.

Said Klingenschmitt:

"I think this confirms something that Jesus said - that broad is the road that leads to destruction and many enter into it. But narrow is the road that leads to eternal life and only a few find it. So I wouldn't be surprised if most people in America voted against God and against God's values if that wasn't a confirmation of something that Jesus predicted would come in the End Times, that there would be a massive rebellion against God, that people would turn to Satan, that people would have all kinds of sin and embrace sin as the law of the land. I'm not surprised that this is happening eventually. I'm just saddened that it's happening so soon to America."

Watch, AFTER THE JUMP...

In related news, Klingenschmitt also made the rounds to City on a Hill radio, where he discussed Sen. Al Franken’s Student Non-Discrimination Act as well as gay adoption and equality in the military, Right Wing Watch reports.

He warned that the Obama administration will soon allow gay and lesbian service members in relationships to collect “homosexual bonus pay” and “homosexualize base houses” and “have gay pride parades on the flight line” on air force bases. Klingenschmitt went on to maintain that gay couples adopting children are committing “child abuse” and only adopt with the goal of “recruiting them into the homosexual lifestyle.” “That’s why they’re trying to get into our kindergarten books and trying to take over our public schools and homosexualize our public education so that they can recruit children into homosexuality and maintain their pool of available sex partners for their own progeny,” he said, “which is our children that they are stealing and warping their minds.”

Wayne Besen And Anti-Gay Activist Mike Brown Debate Violent Rhetoric: VIDEO

PakmanBesen

On his show today, progressive radio personality David Pakman hosted Wayne Besen and Michael Brown.

These men could not be more different: Besen heads up the pro-equality group Truth Wins Out and regularly appears on television to fight for gay rights. Brown, meanwhile, has authored books on how gay people are inferior and has allied himself with religious conservatives who preach fire and brimstone. The men, however, could almost agree on something: there's too much violent and militaristic language in the culture wars. They could not agree, however, on who's to blame.

Watch as the men face-off and Mr. Pakman plays referee, AFTER THE JUMP.

Former Navy Chaplain Tells David Pakman And Wayne Besen He Can 'Exorcise' Gay People: VIDEO

DavidPakmanBesen

Progressive radio host David Pakman this week hosted former Navy Chaplain Gordon James Klingenschmitt, a man who says he can "cure" gay people, and activist Wayne Besen of Truth Wins Out, a group dedicated to fighting Klingenschmitt and others who prescribe "reparative therapy" for LGBT people.

As you may expect, sparks flew. After Klingenschmitt again claims he can "exorcise" same-sex desires, Besen calls the chaplain's brand of Christianity "voodoo." "It's a cult-like, bizarre notion that has nothing to do with real religion," he says.

Watch the exchange AFTER THE JUMP...

In case you missed it, progressive radio host David Pakman this week hosted discredited anti-gay activist Paul Cameron, a man who has claimed the average gay man only lives to be 42, gay soldiers will rape their straight counterparts and thinks the president is on the closet.

The gents discuss Obama's alleged homosexuality, the president's gay marriage support, the dastardly homosexual invasion of sitcoms and his past attraction to men, which he predictably blames on sexual abuse.
