Westboro Raps?
2007-09-04 17:22:00
Just when I thought the nuts over at Westboro Baptist couldn't get any nuttier, they come out with this delightful little gem...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZuj lW3xQiQSorry for the link, but my continuing battle with Youtube's 'post to blog' option is still giving me trouble. I would comment on the video a little further, but I think it speaks for itself...hatred knows no bounds.

Hillary on Ellen...Dances Around Gay Marriage Question
2007-09-04 17:00:00
For my readers who are fans of Hillary , I apologize for what I'm about to say. It's no secret that I'm not a Hillary fan, but this just proves my point about her constant waffling...even to the extent of contradicting what has been one of her political mainstays...federalizing various issues so as to take them out of the hands of individual states.First, watch the Youtube video of Ellen 's interview with Hillary...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= Y3huRVrckY8Now, I could rightfully rant about Hillary's idea of what amounts to a 'separate but equal' system of civil unions for gay couples, but the comment that stands out the most to me is that she believes this is an issue that should be left for the states to decide. Not only did she dodge the root of Ellen's question, but she contradicted some of her well known political ideals...again.Remember her healthcare solution from 1994? The core of her proposal, and current healthcare proposals as well, is that we should federalize th...

Ft.Lauderdale Mayor Off Tourism Board
2007-08-30 15:53:00
Jim Naugle, the embattled mayor of Ft. Lauder dale , FL who has not only suggested installing "robo-toilets" throughout the city, but has also made several public statements which are incredibly discriminatory toward the LGBT community, has lost his seat on the tourism board. According to the local Sun-Sentinal, Broward County commissioners were concerned that Naugle's actions would harm the tourism industry...a multibillion-dollar asset to the county...and that he'd ignored warnings from commissioners about his actions. The Sentinal reported..."Since Naugle made his initial allegations about rampant gay sex in publicrestrooms nearly two months ago, the Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention &Visitors Bureau has been deluged with hundreds of angry e-mails from tourists.Some said they had canceled vacations, while others threatened to goelsewhere.A gay-oriented convention that was to draw 200 attendees this fall is onhold.

Babs Not Welcome At Holiday Inn
2007-08-29 17:33:00
Peter LaBarbera's organization (Americans For Truth About Homosexuality) had booked a fundraising convention at a Chicago area Holiday Inn, but has since been told they are no longer welcome. Why? The hotel manager feared protests by what Babs calls pro-gay groups. In an audio interview with Babs, Matt Barber of Concerned Women For America blew the entire situation out of proportion by making claims that the hotel was being anti-Christian by not allowing the group to convene at their establishment. First of all, the hotel and its corporate officials do have the right to refuse service to anyone. Had this hotel refused service to HRC, PFLAG or any other group Babs despises, he'd be celebrating it on his site...and he knows it.Second, Pete is known for being abrasive...if not abusive...toward anyone who disagrees with him. Any opponent is instantly denigrated in what I would deem a vicious manner. No wonder the hotel was worried about protests and the effect they might have on ...

Larry Craig This And That
2007-08-29 17:21:00
I started out with one post to follow up on yesterday's post, but I found so many examples of ridiculousness that I decided to put together some brief comments here.** This is nothing more than despicable and cowardly behavior on the part of the folks over at WingNutDaily. Without giving any real comment, the site posted a headline today and linked to an article from the Idaho Statesman in what appears to be an effort to discredit the columnist who wrote the articles documenting the events surrounding Senator Larry Craig ...Columnist who exposed Craig backs 'gay' marriage 'Chanceto make a once-and-for-all statement that we are broad-minded folk' --IdahoStatesman I suppose that if you support gay marriage it doesn't matter how many police reports and other credible sources you can produce. In the eyes of the fundies, support of gay marriage instantly damages your journalistic integrity and credibility. Pathetic.** The Idaho Values Alliance has called for Craig's resignation.....

Another Ignorant Rant From Matt Barber
2007-08-28 17:26:00
Another day, another bleating rant from the resident concerned "woman" Matt Barber. This time, Matt has gone after an Illinois school district over a summer reading list for 8th graders and even goes so far as to list examples of what he deems to be objectionable content from one of the books. Before giving that list, though, he opened by saying..."Prairie Junior High School?s required reading list for rising 8th gradersgave children six books to choose from over the summer. Parents have complainedthat three of the six books contain adult content which is highlyage-inappropriate. Those complaints, however, have fallen on deaf ears. At arecent school board meeting, school board members said they intend to continueassigning the books. The following are excerpts from just a handful of the manysalacious passages found in one of the books, Fat Kid Rules the World, by K.

Another Case of Convenient Dementia?
2007-08-28 16:34:00
The more I've seen on the news and read online, the more I'm convinced that these elected officials who've been caught in these types of acts are suffering from what I'm dubbing convenient dementia. This time it's Republican Senator Larry Craig who's been stricken with this horrible disease. According to a report from The IdahoStatesman, a news source from his home state, Craig was arrested on June 11th in a Minnesota airport men's room for allegedly soliciting sex from an undercover officer. The details of that arrest can be found here.Since an arrest was made, Craig was required to appear in court...an event that occurred earlier this month. Here's what the Statesman reported..."News about the June 11 arrest at the Minneapolis-St. Paul InternationalAirport was reported on Roll Call's Web site Monday. According to police andcourt records obtained by Roll Call, Craig pleaded guilty Aug. 8 tomisdemeanor disorderly conduct in Hennepin County District Court. He paid $575in...

Would You Like A Little Cheese With That Whine, Boys?
2007-08-27 17:24:00
You know, I sat down this morning and, inevitably, landed on Peter LaBarbera's site (Americans for Truth) only to read what is probably the most insidious headlines I've seen in a while.Referring to last week's article by talk radio host Kevin McCullough, Babs implored his fellow hatemongers...I mean, loyal readers...to support the idea that bloggers who happen to be gay are not only angry but lie all the time. He didn't even have the sense to change McCullough's original headline or, perhaps, he's just that unimaginative...who knows...but while the words, "Why Do Angry Gay Bloggers Always Lie," were there, the proof of those "lies" were nonexistent. Babs starts out...as usual...with the focus on himself..."As one who has been on the receiving end of too many online ?gay? lies tocount, I can sympathize with Kevin McCullough ? one of the few radioconservatives nationwide who doesn?t downplay the homosexual issue.

After a much needed vacation and computer changeover (I HATE Windows Vista!!!), I'm back to reading my news feeds. So, here are a few things to get your week started...** In case you haven't heard, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has resigned after several months of turmoil and controversy. I suppose it's better late than never, but this should have happened long ago. The question now is who will the Chimperor try to push for confirmation? Speculation suggests that Michael Chertoff (head of Homeland Insecurity who not only contributed to the botched Katrina "relief" efforts, but recently announced he had a "gut feeling" about an impending terror attack here in the states) will be up for the job, which would not only further diminish what little integrity the Attorney General's office has left but would also pave the way for yet another Bush appointee in the Homeland Security Department and, no doubt, a very heated confirmation process in Congress. How long until the next ...

Janet Folger Looks Stupid...Again

You would think that someone who posts a weekly article would make sure and check all available sources before allowing said article to be posted and distributed. Unfortunately, the incredibly unhinged Janet Folger had her head so far up her...well, you get the picture...that she didn't check her facts.In her weekly article posted on WingNutDaily today, Folger urges her fellow wingnuts to watch the "Values Voters Debate" (the Republican version, lol...the Democrats will get their shot later) on September 17, rather than watching the CNN/YouTube Republican debate scheduled for the same night. Always ready with an attack on anything she deems remotely liberal, Janet blasted off with this..."While CNN's YouTube debate for the Democratic candidates took place a weekago Monday, I found it interesting they didn't plan a comparable debate for theRepublicans last week.

Just something to get your week off and running, folks.** Those lovable little nutcases over at WingNutDaily are all excited because another publication gave them credit for an article discussing Paris Hilton's high school hockey stint. In an article published June 14th, WND wrote about Hilton's hockey "career," and the Connecticut publication picked up on it. I suppose it was a slow news day, or WND once again contradicted its "hard news" stance...who knows. If you want a laugh at the expense of Paris, though, give it a read.** Here's an interesting perspective on the civil union mess in New Jersey and a short quote from the article..."So civil unions aren't just legally unequal to marriage; they're not justemotionally unequal; they're not even just morally unequal.

Shapiro Calls Pushing For Same-Sex Marriage A 'Progressives' Political Tric
2007-07-26 16:14:00
Do you remember the YouTube debate question posed by a black, Southern pastor, asking why religion should be used to prevent same-sex marriage? I posted about it a few days ago, and it was one of the questions chosen for the debate. Benjamin Shapiro of WingNutDaily, though, sees the whole concept as some sort of political trick, and you won't believe why.In summing up Edwards' response to the question of imposing religion on the issue of gay marriage, Shapiro says the following..."Sen. Edwards first stated that based on his religious principles, he waspersonally opposed to same-sex marriage. Then, he retreated from his principles:"I think it is absolutely wrong, as president of the United States, for me tohave used that faith basis as a basis for denying anybody their rights, and Iwill not do that when I'm president of the United States." Ben is right (and you have no idea how much it pains me to say that, lol), Edwards' response was one of the most uncommitted, spineless, safe,...

WND Attempts To Demonize Organization For The Alleged Actions Of One Person

If the charges mentioned in today's story prove to be true, then I will be among the first to proclaim the utter despicability of this man's actions...BUT...WingNutDaily pounced on the opportunity to demonize a legitimate organization.

Bodoh, 42, of Wauwatosa, Wis., apparently made contact with a boy fromOconomowoc, and eventually set up a meeting with an undercover state agent whoposed online as the child."Okay, like I said...if these charges prove to be true, then Mr. Bodoh needs to be put away.

Out Of Left Field?

Just about every day, the folks over at WingNutDaily have what they call an 'Out of Left Field ,' feature where they highlight an article or blog that they deem to be ultra liberal. While I usually find this feature rather humorous, today's offering left me shaking my head. In a blog article published by Truthdig, the subject of children's health insurance was addressed. Presently, the subject of the S-CHIPS program is being discussed, heatedly, in Congress and, as the article reports..."Congress is considering bipartisan legislation that will cover poorchildren in the U.S.The major obstacle?

While in the midst of ranting and raving against all things evil (aka homosexuals), Peter LaBarbera has made an outrageous comment about equal rights. The funny thing is, he probably doesn't realize that the same thing could happen to him and other fundies. Citing an article by an openly gay columnist for the Detroit News, Babs points to the author's justifiable concern over recent Supreme Court decisions and the impact they may have in the future..."The Roberts court ? whose votes in nongay cases strongly signaled that Chief JusticeJohn Roberts and Samuel Alito can be expected to join Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomasin opposing almost any imaginable gay-rights plea ? is moving frighteninglyclose to having the five votes it would need to weaken the groundbreakingrulings of 1996 and 2003 acknowledging that gay Americans are protected by theConstitution?.?This term confirmed a lot of our fears,? says Jon Davidson, legaldirector at Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund.What alar...

Matt Barber Links All Homosexuals Through The Actions Of Two

I suppose that the only way Matt Barber and his fundie friends can substantiate their claims that homosexuals have an evil agenda is to point to ridiculous actions and isolated incidents and say, "See...we told you so!"

It seems to be a slow Monday morning at WingNutDaily, because they have this feature article which invokes the wisdom of "experts," 0n the subject of Mitt Romney ...crediting him with "homosexual marriage." As I read over the article...which is incredibly long-winded and rambling...I noticed that all the so-called experts who were asked to contribute were all on the extremely conservative end of the political spectrum. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, considering the source, but I was surprised that his current stance concerning same-sex marriage wasn't directly addressed.
