Well, it’s confirmed… Rev. Ken Hutcherson is a liar. The Stranger’s Eli Sanders talked to AP correspondent Rachel La Corte this morning, regarding her report that Rev. Hutcherson planned to announce a major boycott on national radio. And….
“I stand by the reporting in my story,” La Corte told me.
She’s since talked to Rev. Hutcherson about all this and says: “He insists that I misunderstood him. I don’t feel that I misunderstood him.”
La Corte told me that before she spoke to Hutcherson on Monday, “He’d been trying to get ahold of me all weekend to let me know something he was going to do.” When they finally connected, he told her that he was going to be leading a national boycott of every single company (Microsoft, Boeing, Hewlett-Packard, Nike, Corbis, Vulcan, and RealNetworks) that signed a letter recently supporting Washington’s gay civil rights bill. She asked when he was going to make this announcement, and she says he replied:
“I’m going to be on the Focus on the Family show on Thursday.”
Sanders, who has been tracking down this story, also questions Rev. Hutcherson’s claim that his “boycott” has the support of several major national organizations — including the Family Research Council, the Southern Baptist Convention, and Focus on the Family — claims which neither Sanders nor La Corte have been able to verify. Hmm. I wonder why?
So here’s an interesting thought. Last spring, when The Stranger broke the story that Microsoft pulled its longtime support of anti-discrimination legislation after being threatened with a boycott by Rev. Hutcherson, Microsoft’s denials seemed disingenuous and transparent in light of Hutcherson’s loud and self-aggrandizing claims of credit.
But in light of Rev. Hutcherson’s proven record of lying to the media, um… perhaps Microsoft was telling the truth? Perhaps pressure from Hutcherson had little if anything to do with Microsoft’s decision? Perhaps Hutcherson just seized the opportunity to make headlines for himself? Perhaps he’s just been playing the media for fools all along?
And if so, then the joke’s on him, for whatever his actual influence, Rev. Hutcherson certainly played the lead role in generating the backlash that not only prompted Microsoft to quickly restore its support of the anti-discrimination bill, but to lobby for it harder than ever. Microsoft reportedly applied pressure to several key lawmakers, and while former state senate minority leader Bill Finkbeiner denies they influenced his decision to flip his vote, you can be sure that the largest employer in his district weighs heavily on all his deliberations… of conscience or otherwise.
So if Rev. Hutcherson lied about his role in pressuring Microsoft — just like he lied about this latest fictional boycott — then perhaps the credit he really deserves is for creating the media storm that will ultimately lead to the anti-discrimination bill’s passage after nearly twenty years of close defeats?
I think WA’s gay community owes Rev. Hutcherson a big, wet kiss, smack dab on his lovely, lying lips.
UPDATE:
The Stranger’s Eli Sanders continues to kick the legs out from under the Right Wrong Reverend Hutcherson, who claimed his boycott had support from the Family Research Council, the Southern Baptist Convention and Focus on the Family.
Um… not according to the Family Research Council:
Amber Hildebrand, a spokeswoman for the conservative Family Research Council , tells me that FRC is not supporting Rev. Hutcherson’s boycott of companies that support Washington State’s gay civil rights bill.
“Hutcherson is a good friend of FRC,” Hildebrand told me. “FRC opposes laws protecting people based on the language of “sexual orientation.’ But FRC is not participating in the boycott . We don’t participate in any boycotts.”
And as for the Southern Baptist Convention?
Jill Martin, spokeswoman for the public policy arm of the Southern Baptist Convention, tells me that the SBC is not backing Rev. Hutcherson.
“We have no record of the SBC having a position on the boycott,” she says.
The AP’s Rachel La Corte is a good reporter. There’s no way she could have gotten all this wrong unless Hutcherson intended for her to get all this wrong. He lied. He dissed her.
And when you diss one reporter like this, you diss all reporters. I hope my friends in the media remember this the next time Rev. Hutcherson tries to grab some free press for himself.
The only good thing in all of this – since Finkbeiner put this issue to rest – is that it’s abundantly clear to anyone paying much of any attention that it a particular faction of fairly foaming religious radicals represent the only real organized opposition to adding “sexual orientation” to the long list of things already part of civil rights law in this state. Aside from the state Senate GOP, save Finkbeiner.
The Governor will probably sign the simple change into law sometime before the Superbowl. We’ll have taken care of something pretty basic. Too bad it took 30 years.
Can the drama. This one is a no brainer.
A quote from the Rev. Hutcherson bears false witness thread

“Mark – if it turns out the reporter was right and you have your head up your ass, will you … cough cough … pull your head out?
Comment by Roger Rabbit— 1/20/06 @ 9:22 am
Sweet, another neo-convict is going to get some oxygen to his brain for the first time since birth. Neurons stand by for synaptic firing!
It is confirmed??!!
“‘cuz I said so” is proof? One would hope that the reporter put enough effort into the original story to be willing to stand by it. ALL you have is a he said / she said (and, yes, I know you’ll stand with her, Goldy, simply becuse it suits your purposes).
Let me be clear. From what little I’ve seen/heard/read about Rev. Hutcherson, I’m no fan of his.
But proof — actual, go-to-court PROOF — is something like the reporter’s microcasette with Hutcherson making the statement. Maybe the voicemail with him saying he’s going to do something leads that direction.
At this point, there is no more proof or confirmation than if I were to say that in your last personal e-mail to me, Goldy, you admitted having a crush on Shark and that while I’ve already deleted the e-mail, I “stand by my story?”
GratuitousBS @ 1
For one, get your facts straight. I am NOT and never have been a Neo-Con.
Also… get your facts straight. There has been NO proof presented. See my post #2.
So how exactly did the AP reporter get the supposedly mistaken impression that he was going to be on Focus on the Family on Thursday? Are you saying she made it up?
Hutcherson is saying she got the wrong idea about what he said. Then what was that “right idea” that he couldn’t get across and gave her the impression he was going to be on FoF’s show on Thursday?
Aexia @ 4:
It is possible that he had been, for example, called off-air by a FoF staffer and asked about the ISSUE.
If I had to guess at the truth, I’d say he led her to believe that he’d be on the show — without explicitly saying so — perhaps because he talked to FoF and was told by some flunky that they were interested in the story and asked “would you want to come on the air to talk about it” without discussing a real appearance.
Aexia, Goldy and others…
I am NOT saying he wasn’t lying or that the reporter wasn’t wrong. I’m simply saying that two posts of a dozen-plus paragraphs with NO solid evidence is intellectually dishonest. ASK THE QUESTION? Yes.
Imply that there is some proof that Rev. Hutcherson lied or misled or whatever? Wrong and irresponsible. What is this, the NYT??
I figure Sodom and Gomorrah had at the most, a 20% homosexual population. So why did God wipe out all the ‘normal’ people? Were they extremely intolerant? Did their intolerance of gays evolve into intolerance for ‘all others’, a sort of mass madness? If so, did this madness initiate from homosexuality or heterosexuality? I’ll bet God wiped out these biblical cities because the ‘normal’ people were total assholes.
Mark,
Whether I’ve been on both sides of an interview, and La Corte simply wouldn’t get something like this so wrong if Hutcherson hadn’t intended for her to get it wrong. He deceived her. Most likely, he purposely inflated his local drop-in as an appearance on the local show, knowing that it would be more likely to get him press.
Listen to what she told Sanders… he pursued her with this story. He had important news he wanted out there. He was seeking publicity. And he got it.
Whatever the specifics of what was said between them, I would expect other journalists to be awfully wary in the future when talking to Rev. Hutcherson. He’s destroyed his credibility.
Well, it’s confirmed… Rev. Ken Hutcherson is a liar…“I stand by the reporting in my story,” La Corte told me.
Umm, I think you misunderstand the usage of the word “confirmed.”
Mark,
I’d say we have more than a he said/she said here. If Hutcherson was misquoted in the AP story, why did not say anything? Why did he not call the AP & ask for a correction?
Why on earth did the “I was misquoted” BS not come up till someone called to call him on his lies?
Why doesn’t she provide a direct quote instead of saying what she thought he said in her own words?
Micheal,
“I’m going to be on the Focus on the Family show on Thursday.” – Rev Ken Hutcherson
See those funny little lines before & after that statement, those are called quotes, and signify what is known as a direct quote. Anything else you need cleared up?
Goldy said that Eli Sanders said that Rachel La Corte said that Ken Hutcherson said that “I’m going to be on the Focus on the Family show on Thursday.” Clear cut, right?
You gotta love the fact that even when the right wing nutbags have been caught dead on in a lie, they still stick to their guns as if winning some sort of debate point will eliminate the fact that Hutch is a lying, cowardly, piece of shit dirtbag, just like most republican, christian conservatives.
Mark @ 3
My apologies if your not a conservative, I had thought that you were.
If you were a conservative you’d watch Fox News and therefore had been a hypocrite for demanding any truth and/or fact checking be done in the name of journalism.
If you were a conservative you’d listen to the likes of Limbaugh, Sanity, Meddled, Snow, Wilbur, Carlson and/or the other purveyors of deception.
On the other hand, if any of the above applies to you and/or you voted for George W. Bush, then you are a conservative. In which case, I retract my apology because you are in fact a lying, scumbag neo-convict whose whole basis of political perception is based on the lies spun by Republicans.
Simple solution: Play the reporter’s microcassette (or equivalent) or scan and post the reporter’s notes.
I don’t see where anybody has said, “I reviewed the reporter’s original notes” or EVEN “I [Rachel] reviewed my own notes.” At this point, it is NOTHING except for he said / she said. If Hutcherson has the same issue with other reporters, I could see it being a problem.
The FACT remains that Hutcherson WAS in a “drop-in” segment that aired in Washington State markets. [Hey, Goldy, where is your CORRECTION and UPDATE reflecting Sanders’ own admission that Hutcherson was on the air?] It is entirely possible that either Hutcherson was incorrectly told he’d be national or that he thought the drop-in would be played in more markets.
NEWS FLASH: Not everything you see on TV news, hear on the radio or even read in the paper is locally-produced or even produced just for that outlet. The next time you see a TV news report from some relief mission overseas, look to see if every missionary is wearing the same T-shirt. If so, it is likely a “news package” (quasi-press release) distributed to stations all over the country.
So, Micheal, just what will satisfy you? It appears to be nothing less than a full, public admission of his dishonesty by Hutcherson.
Now anyone, who looks at this situation openly & honestly, would have to wonder, if Hutcherson really was misquoted, then why does he refuse to give a straight answer to any of Sanders’ questions? Instead he chooses to play coy with responses to questions about his claimed boycott like “I will let you know, Eli,” Rev. Hutcherson said. “I will let you know.” .
Seems to me that if you have two parties disagreeing over what was said between them, if one party (La Corte) responds directly and openly to questions about the controversy, and the other party (Hutcherson) plays coy games, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out where the truth lies.
BS @ 15
Just because I’m a Conservative does NOT make me a Neo-Con. just because you’re a Left Winger, does that automatically make you a S*cia1ist, USA-hating, OBL-praising eco-terrorist overwhelmed with guilt over your fantasy heritage?
Mark,
If it’s entirely possible that Hutcherson thought his “drop in” (note not an appearance on the actual show) would be national, why doesn’t he say so? Why does he blame the reporter? Don’t you find it odd that even in your hypothetical defense scenarios Hutch is a liar?

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
Slow down there big boy! I never said you were a neo-con. OK?
Geez.
Just updated the post. Sanders got ahold of both the Family Research Council and the Southern Baptist Convention, and both deny that they are participating in a boycott with Hutcherson.
Face it… the guy was blowing smoke… and he got caught.
Donna @ 20
Note that I was referring to the original printed story. As for her later quote, that is a quote of a quote and is proof of nothing. Donna, didn’t you once pretend that you were a judge or some such thing? Is this the kind of “evidence” you allowed in your courtroom?
My, the quicksand of the lemming-lib mind.
Mark:
Do you watch Fox News, or listen to conservative talk radio?
Because, if you do, your demands for journalistic integrity is about to get lambasted.
The last thing a conservative should be demanding anyone else right now is truth, honor or integrity. C’mon, your leaders have made a mockery out of the subject while they’re breaking the laws and wiping they’re assholes on the Constitution and our civil liberties.
Hell, even the spiritual leaders of the conservative movement are tainted with lies. Shall we go down the Pat Robertson path of deceit?
Goldy @ 22
As for the story… sounds like Hutcherson was blowing smoke about at least some of it. Though, in the interest of intellectual honesty, it is possible that he had private support from leadership in the group, but didn’t have the official endorsement.
But I stand by my statement that your initial reports were intellectually dishonest and jumped to conclusions. As with Brown, you appear to have been on the right track, but your luck will run out…
GBS @ 21
Re-read your comment @ 1 and tell me who you were calling a neo-con.
GBS @ 24
I get my news from multiple sources — TV/cable, print & online — and I can tell the difference between opinion, entertainment and actual news.
If you search my many posts on this blog, you will note that I have been critical of the current national administration at times and supportive at other times. I have always had trouble with the likes of Pat Robertson, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan and the rest of the ego-driven ranters that are truly only in it for themselves.
Again, do you wish me to tar you with the nutballs on the Lefty fringes??
Are you saying that you’ve never cringed when Reid, Pelosi, Dean or some other high-ranking Dem has pounded their fist on the podium or blustered on some Sunday political chat show?
I might be a bigtime Seahawks fan, but I really wish all these mental midget right wing born again “Christians” would leave the Seattle area when they retire from the NFL.
Go sell cars/Jesus action figures someplace else.
Anybody who can mix spirituality with the simplistic “you either win or you lose” philosophy that dominates today’s commercial driven NFL should be suspect from the outset.
My god, even Matt Hasselbeck has a cliched testimonial on the back of Dino Lossi’s book.
Mark:
You’re in deep denial.
It’s becoming quite obvious that you’re defending a liar. Stop it. Stop while you have a modicum of dignity left. These are conservative leaders, of course he’s lying. The “man of the cloth” part is just a part of the lie.
The have a saying Texas and Tennessee that really applies to you. You should learn it. It goes like this:
“Fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can’t get fooled again.”
Or, something like that.
Mark @23
No.
@ 29 first long paragraph should read:
I was afraid you would be dishonest enough to say this. IF after the original story, the author backs up the story with a direct quote, and you do not accept that, then your original deman for the quote is complete bullshit. You never would have believed it any way. You are just a fucking lying scumbag with out an honest bone in your neocon body
Newsflash! There were no illegal wiretaps! Bush said it, so it must be true! That is exactly the kind of logic you guys are trying to use here.
Mark @ 26
“Are you saying that you’ve never cringed when Reid, Pelosi, Dean or some other high-ranking Dem has pounded their fist on the podium or blustered on some Sunday political chat show?
Not because they said something it was a blatant LIE.

Actually it is a quote of a quote of a quote of a quote, see @13.

I wrote neo-convict just like I said I did. That’s different from “neo-con“.
See, neo-con, or neophyte conservative if you will, has a completely different meaning than neo-convict.
Shall I spell it out for you, or can I trust you understandt the difference based on the criminal activity that is currently going on with conservatives?

AS A FINALE to all this–
House has passed the Cal Anderdon Bill. Fast track to the Senate for passage next week. Gregoire will be doing big time arm twisting, much to her credit.
Goldy, if you think Preacher Dog Ken is bad, go the the Senate hearing on Tue. The bigots will make your skin crawl. Should be some really vile stuff – mostly unreported in MSM. (will be on Cable, live)
I used to go to all these, it is truly shocking – always off the wall stuff like eating feces, fist fucking, and anima sex. And of course AIDS contamination, Lesbian predators, etc.

I would bet that the guy standing with Crawford Cindy (2/3 down page) has gotta be one of you Lefties here…
Okay, looks like Rev. Ken Hutcherson told a bit of a whopper. And that Goldy figured it out, and exposed it.
But what relevance is all of this? Lots of “religious” folks lie, cheat or steal, including Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and Ken Hutcherson.
Hutcherson has a relatively small congregation, which can’t even afford to own a regular meeting place of its own. Regardless of whether this fellow is “liberal”, “conservative”, or whatever, why is the news media buying up everything that he has to say and taking it as the gospel (small “g”) truth?
Probably more people read Goldy’s blog than attend Hutcherson’s church services.
And by the way, just because Goldy called this one on Ken Hutcherson correctly, this doesn’t mean that everything Goldy has said about this fellow is correct.
I think Goldy’s attempts of a few days ago to call Hutcherson an anti-Semite were way off base. Unfortunately, Goldy likes to call nearly everyone he disagrees with an anti-Semite.

Since when does someone have to have long hair or a beard in order to be a far-left loony?
Go to the Communist Party U.S.A. website. Nearly every single one of those REAL Communists has short hair (you can usually see their entire ear) and no beard. Try the slide show from their July 2005 National Convention on this page:

Wrong RUFUS, that was the sound of you shooting your pecker off! RepubliCONS, the mutation that has no feelings! Luckily for RUFUS, his self surgery only cost the amount of the bullet. The ‘Dictator in Chief’s’ lack of feeling has surpassed 2200 US lives and 3 trillion dollars.
Well, we had cable installed today, mainly for my wife to be able to watch the Olympics while she recovers from her upcoming surgery. Guess we’ll be able to tune in and watch the fun in Olympia next week. Coming right on the heels of the sex-offender scam, there’ll no doubt be plenty of spectacular rhetoric from the eternally self-righteous.
Anyway, up to now we’ve been living this sort of sheltered life, deprived of the daily dose of “Fair and Balanced(tm)” that has been of so much apparent benefit to the rest of America. So after the cable dude hooked things up and left, I spent a while surfing all those channels. In the course of half an hour, among other things I stumbled on the following:
An interview on one of the state political-access channels with a GOP state senator about employee health care. The guy was spouting off about how the government should never be telling business what to do.
The C-SPAN coverage of the Senate hearings on “decency” in the media, wherein Ted Stevens and his buddies were making it clear that government should very much be telling at least that segment of business what NOT to do.
A program on Fox News featuring a discussion on emergency preparedness, led by none other than Mike Brown.
Well, we sort of enjoyed watching a couple of poorly made volcano movies on SciFi later on…
