Conservative Leaders Call for Replacement of Human Events Editor
AIPNEWS.com ^ | January 27, 2009 | Gregg Jackson

MEDIA ADVISORY, Jan. 27 /Christian Newswire/ -- Radio host and bestselling author Gregg Jackson and a growing list of other conservative leaders, lawyers and activists are calling on Eagle Publishing to dismiss editor Jed Babbin and take immediate and decisive steps to restore the credibility of Human Events. Among the names widely known in social conservative and pro-life circles are Dr. Ted Baehr, President of Movieguide; Ambassador Alan Keyes, former Reagan appointee and presidential candidate; Dr. William Greene of RightMarch.com; Coach Dave Daubenmire, talk show host and author; and Brian Rohrbough, President of American Right to Life.

The editor of what was Ronald Reagan's favorite conservative weekly, Human Events, Babbin only recently admitted in an explosive radio interview that Mitt Romney illegally instituted same-sex "marriage" and $50 government-funded abortions. He now claims that Human Events faithfully reported these facts to their readers, but when asked to support that erroneous claim by citing specific articles in the four years since Romney's illegal orders went into effect, Babbin angrily professed not to remember and abruptly hung up, ending the interview.

Listen to Jackson's revealing 12-minute interview with Babbin here! Jackson/Babbin Interview

On numerous occasions, Jackson and others had gone to great lengths to share Romney's far left wing record with Babbin and other writers at Human Events such as Ann Coulter, David Limbaugh and John Gizzi, but they all chose to suppress Romney's radical record in Massachusetts and in doing so deceived countless conservative readers.

Also in this interview with Jackson, Babbin adamantly asserted:

* that the unalienable right to life is no more important or fundamental than the freedom of speech or the right to vote--a statement that is not merely illogical, but is an accidental admission that he is not pro-life in any meaningful sense

* that America's founding national charter, the Declaration of Independence, is not part of the Organic Law of the United States of America--despite the fact that the U.S. Code (section XXXVII - LXVII, "Organic Laws of the United States of America" ) says explicitly that it is, and despite the fact that the Supreme Court has repeatedly stated that it is (astonishingly, Babbin is a lawyer)

* that the candidate whom Human Events endorsed for President, Fred Thompson, whom Babbin claims is "solidly pro-life," had "no choice" as a lawyer other than to represent the nation's largest abortion provider: Planned Parenthood

* that despite John McCain's support for taxpayer funding for both embryonic stem cell research and Planned Parenthood; despite his belief that babies in the womb do not possess a God-given unalienable right to life that no state may violate; and despite his opposition to a Human Life Amendment--the core plank of the Republican Party--McCain too is "solidly pro-life"

"For years conservatives trusted Human Events as a source of truth about what is happening in American politics," Jackson said. "Babbin's embarrassing and revealing statements in this very revealing interview are only the most recent indication of an ongoing purge of real conservatives and their replacement by social liberals posing as the heirs of the Reagan revolution," Jackson continued.

"As people listen to this interview, we expect awareness of the sad state of Human Events to spread through the grassroots just as the facts about Mitt Romney did, despite a concerted effort by Human Events and many supposed 'conservatives' to suppress it," said John Haskins of www.UndergroundJournal.net. "Eagle Publishing may well be too scornful of the intelligence of their own readers and too stubborn to dismiss Jed Babbin as the counterfeit conservative he revealed himself to be. But they face a continued loss of credibility which can only lead, ultimately, to the death of the publication."

The still growing list of conservative leaders, attorneys, radio talk show hosts and pundits calling for Human Events to dismiss Jed Babbin and chart an authentic conservative course for the future includes the following:

"Deadly assault weapons have no place in Massachusetts. These guns are not made for recreation or self-defense. They are instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people." - Mitt Romney, the day he signed the Massachusetts "assault" weapons ban

You can dress it up any way you want, and trot out any number of so-called "conservative" leaders he's bought off (that's one of his specialties) but you can't spin away the meaning of the words above.

"The firearms reform bill signed by Governor Romney in 2004 had the endorsement of the NRA"

Anyone who believes this without a certified letter from the NRA is a fool.

Myth Romney has fabricated awards before which did not exist
and which he did not receive.

"Behind the empty gestures and deceptive rhetoric, Romney was not pro-life
or a defender of marriage by any stretch of the imagination.
He was a disaster," said O'Gorman, of the board for Massachusetts Citizens for Life.
He said Romney "deceptively" claims to have been awarded
a pro-life award from the group.

"The award Romney arranged for himself with the local Pioneer Valley Chapter
was the Mullins Award for Political Leadership, not a pro-life award
and not approved by MCFL's state board of directors," he said.
"We're blowing the whistle to warn voters…
"

I’m always amazed at your presumption in thinking that somehow Ronald Reagan’s shortcomings are an excuse for your guy’s hardcore leftism over decades, and his massive attempt to deceive conservatives in 2008.

Given Romney's history of lying and backstabbing, and
poor economic performance in public service, and fascist
history exceeding the entire DNC, why do his RomneyBOTs
get on their knees for him?

If they're "no names" to you it isn't a stretch to imagine that you've never heard of most of them. And yet, you're able to discern their motivations. You're amazing.

Homeschoolers owe these compromised squishes you’re enamored of NOTHING.

There were quite a few legislators who'd you think of as RINOs who got Pa.'s home school law passed, and I bet dollars to donuts that was true in most other states.

But keep telling yourself that Ann Coulter is just not conservative enough for whatever political organization you happen to create and victory doesn't matter.

You’re amazing that you continue to worship a lunatic like Alan Keyes. He has the same mentality as Jeremiah Wright.

Sorry. I don’t owe the enjoyment of my unalienable rights to a bunch of generous liberals.

I don’t worship anyone except the Lord Jesus Christ. And your comparison of Alan Keyes to Jeremiah Wright says nothing about Alan Keyes and a whole lot about you.

The failures of Alan Keyes’s political campaigns says a whole lot about him and his supporters.

I’m sure no fan of Mitt Romney, but I’m not in favor of going after a publication that has been one of the consistent, principled voices of conservatism because of THIS. And I agree, Romney engaged in a very transparent campaign of deception which fooled almost no one. Let’s not mistake the very desirable impulse to avoid beating up on one another leading into a presidential campaign with the principled differences that do exist within the Conservative movement.

I am sure I differ on issues with other equally conservative individuals of principle, and I would not demonize them because of those differences. Nor do I expect to be demonized by them, or see those I respect, like Fred Thompson demonized.

This is especially true when every time it happens it is the same crew, the same issue and the same intolerance.

Jed Babbin is yesterday’s garbage, but why spread the attack to true conservatives like Ann Colter, and David Limbaugh?

Human Events has a rather bumpy record WRT conservatism that goes back before Jed Babbin though. ( and I hate their outrageous promotion of costly trinkets to their subscribers)

Ann Coulter is bound to bear some blame for the moon eyes she made over Romney, and the fact that she didn’t tell the truth about him. Both she and David were fully apprised of Romney’s record, I know this for a fact. Can you show me an instance of Mr. Limbaugh bringing those facts to the attention of conservatives?
