There are several associated organizations under the same umbrella that time their releases to keep them in the public eye. Its called "advocate journalism" and its not new on the left or the right. They're all basically the same post and will attract the same responses.

You mean like that post from the Ayn Rand ~~cultists~~ fans that employed Maureen Dowd tactics?

A preacher who has spent years using a bullhorn to rile at passers-by... Associated Press

WEST CHESTER, Pa. - A preacher who has spent years using a bullhorn to rile at passers-by on college campuses about "fornicators," "whores" and "sodomites" is accused by a 14-year-old boy of soliciting a sex act.

The boy told police that the Rev. C. Stephen White, 40, of North Philadelphia offered him money to perform oral sex on him. White declined to comment at his arraignment Thursday, but defense lawyer J. Michael Considine Jr. said his client maintains he only asked the boy for directions.

"In all the years I've known him, there's never been any hint ever of going to strip clubs, wanting to have sex with boys, looking at pornography or soliciting sex," Considine said. "I'm shocked and I believe that he is innocent."

The boy told police that a stranger drove up beside him on the street in West Chester on June 26 and asked him if he new of any strip clubs or adult bookstores. Soon after that, the man offered to pay him to commit the act. The boy told police that he said no and walked away, then repeated the license plate number of the stranger's car to himself as he ran to his aunt's house.

The license plate number was later traced to White, and the boy identified the man who approached him using White's driver's license photo.

White was taken to Chester County Prison on Thursday after failing to post $100,000 cash bail.

"Our concern is that because he is a reverend and deals with youth, there may be other victims out there," West Chester Police Detective Stan Billie said.

Considine said White was in West Chester that day to discuss a lawsuit he has filed against the Philadelphia Police Department about several arrests for his preaching. Considine said the suit sought better training for police officers about how to handle that sort of situation.

White has been a fixture on the University of Pennsylvania campus since the early 1990s and also preaches to passers-by at other campuses in Philadelphia and elsewhere. He was a prominent enough figure at Penn that the chaplain's office held a panel discussion about his methods in 1998.

"Sometimes he would bring his own kids along with him," said Ian Sneed of the university's InterVarsity Christian Fellowship Center. "His son would try to be like Daddy, ranting and raving while holding a Bible."

White also runs a youth ministry program in North Philadelphia, where neighbors said he distributed toys to children around Christmas and often held long basketball games in the ministry building.

I don't know about that in particular, what post are you citing ?

The only way to deal with Danconia is to ignore him. He is rude, very profane and insulting. Trying to have even a minimally rational debate with him is like trying to talk to a child who just throws dirty diapers in your face.
