ABC 20/20 Agrees: Matthew Shepard Murdered During Robbery, Not Hate Crime The 1998 Matthew Shepard murder, portrayed as a hate crime because Shepard was homosexual, was in fact a bungled burglary and not motivated by hate, according to a new ABC 20/20 investigation, which confirms a MassNews exclusive published at the time. However, ABC did not reveal that this legend was begun by Pinch Sulzberger (using the power of both the New York Times and the Boston Globe which he had just inherited) to begin his plan of imposing homosexual marriage across the entire nation, beginning in Massachusetts. According to 20/20, the murder set in motion a drive to promulgate hate-crime laws to protect homosexuals from discrimination, with the principal proponent being Sen. Edward Kennedy. ABC has now interviewed the killers, which revealed that the two made a bargain with the court that they would not speak to the media in exchange for an agreement sparing them the death penalty. They are both serving consecutive, double-life sentences. Shepard was a college student beaten to death by McKinney and Henderson in Laramie, Wyoming. MassNews re-ran a summary of their exclusive story last Friday, advising all conservative candidates in the future that they must candidly discuss these issues about homosexuality with the voters or they will never win election or re-election. ABC was timid about going up against Sulzbergers hoax, saying: This new information in no way diminishes the importance of the national conversation that took place after Matthew Shepard's murder." Their story is slated to air on Nov. 26.

I did, know that. However it was immediately reported as them having attacked other people that night, then squelched. No doubt by Pinch and his cohorts!

I know this is true. It was truly remarkable, though, to see the press machine at work around you. It is a powerful and dangerous weapon of the left.

That is so wrong - it's Orwellian. No matter what else people think about the case.
Good thing we have much more information sources now!

Thanks for the ping, Grampa Dave and ER. Yes - I need to put this in the database but I first need to either invent or purchase a cloning machine.

This is not a new trick. Beyond the obvious comparison with the Reichstag fire of (?1933?) fast forward 60 years to 1963. I'm nearly finished with the relatively new book "The Kennedy Assasination tapes" which are White House transcripts pertaining to the Kennedy assasination from the LBJ presidency.
Despite the fact that Oswald was an avowed marxist the immediate spin after the assasination was that the "atmosphere of hate" in Dallas (i.e. right wing generated) that had killed Kennedy. The most notable propagator of this theory (and there were many others) was none other than Earl Warren (which obviously did not preclude him from heading up the Warren Commission). Warren was quoted as saying precisely this a day or two after the assasination (and he was the SC Chief Justice at the time).
Liberals have been exploiting "right wing hate" for political purposes for a very long time - In the case I cited it makes about as much sense as this Shepherd case but the "truth of the charges" are always dwarfed by "the seriousness of the charges".

Very true the MSM will distort political motivation(both by adding or subtracting)of crime to to promote there agenda Oswald is a case in point besides down playing he avowed marxist they completely ignored Oswald early assassination attempt on a right wing U.S. general (forgot the name)OKC is another case in point ignoring any McVey connection to any White supremest/anti Semitic/Jihadist alliances...McVey had to be portrayed as a plain vanilla right winger gone extreme

And H'weirdo, dominated by queers, made the most of the Matthew Shepherd situation. Boils down to the queers wanting special rights.

The Lib's are just going to bury this, and the Matthew Shepard story will continue to be propogated in corporate diversity training and public school history classes. They'll treat this about the same way that they will any discussion of Darwin's theory as a "theory". If the lib's could figure out a way that flat world theory would justify a Godless society, they would still be behind that as well!

Pinch Sulzberger as Gorgidas ? NYT the Sacred Band of Thebes ?
Gorgidas was a Theban military leader of the Sacred Band of Thebes, an elite corps of paired Theban gay lovers.
The Ancient Art of Recruiting:
Ask, Tell, and Bring Your Boyfriend, Too
Plato makes the case in his Dialogues that the best army of all would be made up of pairs of male lovers who "...when fighting at each other's side, although a mere handful, they would overcome the world." The theory here is that they would fight to the death to protect each other and look good in front of their boyfriends.
The "Sacred Band of Thebes"
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Homosexual lovers, according to Plutarch formed by the Theban commander Gorgidas. The motivation for the use of such an "Army of Lovers" in battle is also stated by Plutarch:
"For men of the same tribe or family little value one another when dangers press; but a band cemented by friendship grounded upon love is never to be broken, and invincible; since the lovers, ashamed to be base in sight of their beloved, and the beloved before their lovers, willingly rush into danger for the relief of one another."
According to Plutarch, Gorgidas initially distributed the Sacred Band of Thebes throughout his battle lines as an elite to strengthen the others' resolve, but later Pelopidas, after the Band had fought successfully at Tegyrae, used it as a sort of personal guard. For about 33 years, the Sacred Band of Thebes remained an important part of the Greek infantry.
