LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY lullabypit)

You may have noted the story that Warren Jeffs, he of 40 wives and 70 children, has been corralled. I guess fatigue finally caught up to him. (Story.)

But let me tell you, the polygamy isn't anywhere near the best part of this wingnut's tale. I was recently scouring the Web for some resources to use in a little project I'm working on, and came across audio of some of his "teachings." The Heaven this boy is trying to fuck his way into is one more wack-ass place, and I feel certain that I wouldn't be welcome.

The level of racism, homophobia, and sheer breathtaking ignorance expressed by Jeffs is almost Phelpsian. Maybe it's fair to say that he's dumber than the Rev. Fred, but probably not nearly as mean. So call it a kinder, stupider form of hate.

I pulled a few of the mp3s together for your listening enjoyment (there are probably more out on the Internets somewhere). Feel free to download and share with your friends. I guess my favorite is his take on The Beatles...
