McClurkin on 700 Club: "The gloves are off. Stop public funding of gay high school!"
...McClurkin, currently a senior pastor at Perfecting Faith in Freeport, N.Y., was particularly outspoken against New York's funding of Harvey Milk, a gay high school in New York, suggesting that the school will lead to molestation of children.

"The gloves are off," he said on the Sept. 23, 2003 episode of Rev. Pat Robertson's 700 Club. "And if there's going to be a war, there's going to be a war. But it will be a war with a purpose. This is not a privately funded school. It is a public school funded by taxpayers' money. Why isn't anyone else speaking out? Everyone knows that everyone at the high school is homosexual. That makes for an easy target."

when the clergy had the market cornered on molesting children. No one likes having their turf horned in on.

2. "easy target"?
Sounds like a threat, to me.

Or incitement to commit violence.

Someone should file a complaint and bring charges.

6. The Catholic Church is not involved here
I've never heard of the word "priests" being used in reference to the 700 Clubs flocks' leaders.
