LOL WorldNetDaily runs article promoting anti-gay quack scientist who was debunked 20+ years ago

Ok, this is actually funny. WorldNetDaily - you remember them? The site that wrote the article harshly critical of Gannon and the White House?

Well, I suspect they got some pressure from the religious right to make amends. All I know is that today they came out with an article claiming that gays molest foster children. The thing they don't tell you is that the "scientist" who did the "study" has been SO debunked that EVEN THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT DOESN'T CITE HIS RESEARCH ANYMORE. I mean, the guy was debunked as a fraud 20 years ago!

I am actually shocked that WingNutDaily printed this. I'm really not kidding. Cameron has been so debunked - he was kicked out of the lead scientific association decades ago for his bigoted and faulty research, and even admonished by a judge! - that it's just downright weird that they'd cite him. And after WND's wonderful little article last week about how what their Web site cares about is "the truth," no matter who it hurts. Well, guys, you just made total asses of yourselves.

Thanks to fellow blogger Pam for spotting this.
