Gerry Jones (redux): Professional bullshit artist or the psuedonym for an anti-gay organization?

Thanks to a comment from a reader on the last post about Gerry Jones, I've found out that he is not what he pretends to be. You see, Gerry Jones is not from Baltimore. Or is he?

I question this because the commenter pointed out that they read the EXACT same letter in the Star Ledger in New Jersey, where Gerry Jones said he was from Trenton and not Baltimore.[1] Now that makes me wonder if he's real at all, or if he simply writes the same hateful letter to every paper in the country and pretends to be from their area to make his opinion "more relevant" to the audience of the paper.

I also am considering that there is the possibility that it is a form letter from a national anti-homosexuality campaign with offices in several cities (so that the phone numbers match up to the given location when the papers call).

As it turns out, he's also from Columbus, Mississippi.[2]

And Cadillac, Michigan (I think. I'm not sure, but it's a Detroit paper and his location is Cadillac).[3]

And Orlando, Florida (he must be a REAL fan of Disney's gay day thing they do every year).[4]

And Tacoma, Washington.[5]

I am not going to post anymore, because I believe five demonstrates my point just fine, but if you want to play this game, you can do it all day long! Just Google "Gerry Jones" and "Hooray for pro-life and traditional family values.", and you'll find a ton of results from different papers, all listing his location as relevant to their paper. The papers themselves should be ashamed for falling for such a ruse.

So, Gerry Jones: Not just a scum-sucking douche bag... A lying, scum-sucking douche bag.
