Peter LaBarbera sinks so low, even I'm beginning to pity him

If Peter LaBarbera wants to know why he is losing credibility even with members of the religious right, then he doesn't need to look any further than his one-sided feud with blogger Joe Jervis.

A few days ago, LaBarbera ran a piece about the firing of actress Patricia Mauceri. Mauceri claimed that she was fired from the soap opera One Life to Live because she objected how her character would behave in a pro-gay storyline.

Yesterday, he took his "Mauceri is a victim of gay hate" factoid to an attack on blogger Joe Jervis, the author of the blog Joe.My.God.

Apparently LaBarbera put attention on some not very nice comments coming from readers about Mauceri.

Jervis got wind of it and posted something about LaBarbera. And now LaBarbera has posted something else about Jervis.

If that isn't bad enough, LaBarbera features a huge picture of Jervis while a picture of Mauceri clings on the edge like someone trying to sleep in the same bed as a mattress hog.

And it's not the first time LaBarbera has gone after Jervis, as this link demonstrates.

Notice how LaBarbera makes sure to describe Jervis in such illuminating tones as "Aethist homosexual blogger Joe Jervis" or "Leatherman Joe Jervis."

Peter, shouldn't this be about Mauceri and not Jervis?

I mean sooner or later, people are going to start to talk.

Now I'm not saying or implying in any way that LaBarbera has a thing for Jervis. But as you all can see, he does have a habit of veering off into strange territory.

Somewhere, Matt Barber is laughing his behind off.

He is sinking lower every day, but I will never pity him. He chose his lifestyle, so let him suffer the consequences.

I came to this sight originally from BoxTurtleBulletin which I have always admired for trying hard to be balanced and fair in their criticism of the ex-gay movement. I hoped this site would be more of the same so I subscribed to it, but more and more i find it degenerating into name calling and over sensationalism. It's not that I am a fan of Peter, the guy has always seemed unhinged to me even when i was in exodus...but I think you and Joe my God's treatment of him isn't really constructive either and just gives him more fuel.

Suuuure you did, Breten (whose profile I can't seem to find - hint, hint).

Labeling any criticism of LaBarbera as "fuel" totally omits the fact that his car is broken down and can't run anyway.

What are they giving LaBarbera fuel for? Another opportunity to make an ass of himself?

Lol! They already are.

You're going to have to try harder if you want to keep Pete's affection, Alvin. How can "twit" match "leatherman" as a term of endearment? Joe has told Pete he's not a leatherman, but we know Pete is more hung up on leather than he is the truth, so maybe he's just projecting his fantasy. And as for Matt, do you think he's laughing? You don't think he's a tiny bit jealous of Joe?

All Pete needs is a big rubber nose and a little clown car. I swear that man gets crazier every day.

Breten,


If we wanted to live our lives so as to not give the Peter LaBarbera's any more "fuel" we'd all be pretending to be straight, conservative Christians. Thankfully we're not that self-loathing.
