Clarendon Enterprise publishes ad by pastor containing unverified homophobic accusations; TV station covers hate-crime aftermath; paper now mum on incident it helped provoke

The advertisement, published in the Clarendon Enterprise, was written by Clarendon (Texas) Church of Christ Pastor Chris Moore, and claimed that the "National Coalition of Gay Organizations" (an ad hoc political group which appeared briefly, 40 years ago)  advocated making "our children legal prey for pedophiles."
     Shortly thereafter, a local gay couple woke up to find "Move or Die, Fags" painted on their porch. The pastor said he doesn't "condone" such behavior. (Although apparently he has few qualms about using invented invective to incite such behavior, abetted by the local paper.)
     AKSARBENT looks forward to the day that Clarendon's little 'ol hate-crime instigator, Pastor Chris Moore, takes out a newspaper ad deploring not the phony specter of a supposed gay pedophile agenda, but the recent real-life abuse of a Clarendon-area four-year-old, beaten to death by his (presumably heterosexual) dad. We're all ears, Pastor Moore, and eagerly await your contrived and highly selective Rural Texas Moral Outrage.
