The site, called "usQueers.com," is similar to a pro-life website that once published names and addresses of abortion doctors and providers before being forced to pull its pages by a court after being sued. UsQueers.com says it is not "anti-heterosexual," claiming it is merely a collection of "gays, lesbi ans, bisexuals, transgendered, intersexed, questioning and our supporters" who are "dedicated to a mission of assisting wi th the recognition, protection and defense of the rights to 'Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happi ness' which belong to Queers. �" However, listed on one page are the names of several notable religious, cultural and political figu res historically opposed to homosexuality that the group says it hopes will "die soon � preferably a horrible death." "usQueers.com does not authorize, ratify or directly threaten acts of violence toward the people or organizations on this list," said the site's creators. "If a person on this list dies (preferably a horrible death), a li ne will be drawn through their name," and then the deceased will be added to the site's "good ridda nce list." Included on the "die soon" list are: Former President Ronald Reagan, who "deserves to experience a horrible death soon and is getting wh at he deserves," the latter a reference to Reagan's worsening Alzheimer's disease; Donald E. Wildmon, president of the American Family Association; Tim Wildmon, the AFA's vice president; Sens. Strom Thurmond, R-S.C., and Jesse Helms, R-N.C.; Pat Robertson, the "anti-Christ, if there is one," according to the site; James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family. Paul Weyrich, founder of the Free Congress Foundationm is also listed, as is Rep. J.C. Watts, R-Okl a., nationally known evangelist and WND columnist Rev. Jerry Falwell, and Gary Bauer, the former he ad of the Family Resear ch Council. UsQueers.com mocks Reagan as it blames him for what site creators say was his lack of proper attent ion to such issues as HIV/AIDS research and funding for drug treatment. "Ronald Reagan is personally responsible for the long and torturous deaths of hundreds of thousands of gay men in the USA from AIDS. Today, he can't remember not to go to the bathroom in his pants, and he deserves worse," said the site. "We're listing him as wounded because the way he is dying is horrible (Alzheimer's) and irreversibl e, even if he isn't aware of it anymore, and not soon enough we will happily add him to our 'Good R iddance!' section," the site said. Creators called Thurmond "doddering," "old" and "useless," and says is "rotting to death while the nation watches and laughs." Helms, meanwhile, "can't walk anymore, so he qualifies as being a bit wounded, but unfortunately, h e is not suffering much," said site creators. Rev. B. Allan Ross of San Diego � the officially designated spokesman and the only contact person l isted for the site � refused an interview with WorldNetDaily. "Barring the unforseen (sic), we're not doing any more interviews with anybody about anything until next year," Ross said in his reply to an e-mail interview request. "That page has been there since March without comment, by the way." Site creators already may be anticipating a backlash from some of what they have published online b ecause the site is billing itself as a news service "doing online news reporting that no one else i s doing." As "journalists," creators said in the site's "About Us" section, "if it ever comes down to a court order to reveal anonymous sources, we will reluctantly go to jail to protect our right to practice our art without interf erence or restrictions, rather than break our word to keep such information confidential." However, they added, "we don't expect" to be forced to reveal sources. The "usQueers.com" site is similar to another website, Christian Gallery, publisher of the so-calle d "Nuremberg Files" � which compared abortion doctors to Nuremberg defendants and also provided the names and addresses of those physicians, as well as their clinic and home addresses. When physicians who appeared on the site's list were killed, the Christian Gallery site would put a line through their names. The site eventually garnered the attention of the Justice Department aft er representatives of t he American Medical Association and five other doctors' groups met with officials seeking protectio n. "The AMA is quite concerned about it, so we will look at it," Clinton-era Associate Attorney Genera l Raymond C. Fisher told reporters in November 1998, as he announced the formation of a new task fo rce to investigate Chri stianGallery.com and other so-called "hate sites." A month earlier, Buffalo, N.Y.-based Dr. Barnett Slepian was shot to death by a sniper in his Amher st home in western New York. In 1994, the Justice Department convened a grand jury in Alexandria, Va., to look into whether a na tional conspiracy plotted a wave of anti-abortion violence that culminated in the July 1994 killing of Dr. John Britton an d his escort, James Barrett, outside a Pensacola, Fla., clinic. Four other abortion providers in Ne w York and Canada were wounded from 1994 to 1998. Neal Horsley, creator of ChristianGallery.com, told WND the "Nuremberg Files" site "is still exactl y where it has always been � except for the intermittent shutdowns over the last three years." When asked to compare both sites, Horsley said his contained no threats. "There is not one sentence that any English dictionary could be used to construe as a 'threat,'" he said. "That is certainly not true of this website you reference � one of many similar sites" built over the past three ye ars, he said. Asked if he thought the usQueers.com site should be closed, he answered, "I have no reason to see the queers site shut down." As to his own site, "Mindspring (now Earthlink) shut down the site prior to any injunction or court order or court decision being rendered against me or my property." Jon E.
