A cyber war has been launched on Ted Baehr’s MOVIEGUIDE®, which with its sister organization the Christian Film & Television Commission, advocates for clean movies in Hollywood.
Baehr told WND he has received a series of reports about the distribution of e-mails or posting of blog comments that purport to be from him or his organization. But the dispatches provide links to pornography, including homosexual sites.
Baehr, who is also a columnist for WND, said he’s asking anyone who sees such activity to report it.
“This is a criminal attack on our ministry,” he said.
“We are looking at legal and criminal action,” Baehr said. “But, in the meantime, we urgently ask all of our partners and supporters to please pray that no one will be fooled by these attacks and that the attacks will stop.”
He said the FBI and police have been contacted, and investigators already are tracking the computer address of the unit used.
He told WND the attack might be related to his public statements in favor of California’s Proposition 8, a ballot measure that passed Nov. 4 which adopted a state constitutional amendment limiting marriage to couples of one man and one woman.
Baehr reported that other Christian groups and churches also have experienced “vicious attacks and hate mail” from homosexual-rights supporters.
MOVIEGUIDE® and the Christian Film & Television Commission are dedicated to “redeeming the values of the entertainment industry according to biblical values by influencing industry executives and by informing and equipping the public about the influence of the entertainment media.”
Thus, the organizations would be a target for “the leftist extremists [who] have staged angry demonstrations outside and inside churches and businesses, begun boycotts and even forced artistic leaders to resign from their posts,” the MOVIEGUIDE organization said earlier.
“Sadly, no one in the mass media is speaking out against these vicious blacklists and boycotts,” Baehr said. “Apparently, blacklists and boycotts against anti-American communists in Hollywood are bad, but blacklists and boycotts against Christians, Mormons and conservatives are welcomed.”
“Homosexual activists like to complain about hatred toward homosexuals, but their hatred of Bible-believing Christians is palpably disgusting,” he said.
Baehr said the attack on his ministry is “a concerted effort at slander, libel, identity theft and harassment.”
