Sloppy AP Reporting Targets Gays For Church Fire

L

et’s put the shoe - OMG! What a cute, cute shoe! - on the other foot, shall we?  If Rev. Wright’s church was burned in a probable arson and AP arbitrarily jammed in a paragraph about some conference held there that was particularly irritating to white conservatives, implying we were the fire-setters, wouldn’t we holler?

So there’s no reason to be surprised when the gay community took offense at this passage in the AP coverage of the disastrous fire at Sarah Palin’s former church in Wasilla:

The 1,000-member evangelical church was the subject of intense scrutiny after Palin was named John McCain’s running mate. Early in Palin’s campaign, the church was criticized for promoting in a Sunday bulletin a Focus on the Family “Love Won Out Conference” in Anchorage. The conference promised to “help men and women dissatisfied with living homosexually understand that same-sex attractions can be overcome.”

Why indeed should AP tag gays, lesbians, transgenders, transsexuals, bisexuals, trisexuals, gender-confused, queens, trixes and any others I apologize to for leaving out for the fire?  It’s just as likely to have been a riled up abortion hawk, a violent pacifist, a coven of witches, a wardrobe-jealous recessionista, William Ayres or any number of people far more off the deep end than your run-of-the-mill gay.

Heck, maybe Karl Rove set it just to get people mad at the far left kooks - did you think about that, AP?

Gay Bigots’ Harassment Drives Film Exec From Job

B

igotry, hatred and intolerance from the gay marriage set has finally hounded Los Angeles Film Festival director Richard Raddon from his job. Raddon, a Mormon, had expressed his first amendment freedom of speech to support Prop 8, California’s gay marriage ban proposition, through activism and financial contributions.

Gay marriage bigots, who demand tolerance from us, showed Raddon no tolerance:

After Raddon’s contribution [of $1,500 to Prop 8] was made public online, Film Independent was swamped with criticism from “No on 8″ supporters both inside and outside the organization. Within days, Raddon offered to step down as festival director, but the board, which includes Don Cheadle, Forest Whitaker, Lionsgate President Tom Ortenberg and Fox Searchlight President Peter Rice, gave him a unanimous vote of confidence.

Yet, the anti-Raddon bile continued to bubble in the blogosphere, and according to one Film Independent board member, “No on 8″ supporters also berated Raddon personally via phone calls and e-mails. The recriminations ultimately proved too much, and when Raddon offered to resign again, this time the board accepted. (LA Times)

Raddon had taken the extraordinary step of actually apologizing for his actions, which are thoroughly legitimate and aligned with the opinion of a strong majority of California’s voting citizens. The apology should come from the gay bigots who are utterly, thoroughly, repulsively intolerant. Someone should bitch-slap every last one of them for the hate crime of the economic lynching of a straight man.

Another Gay Activist Teacher Outrage

M

y blog-friend and designer of the new C-SM look Dale (Okie on the Lam) forwarded this video to me, which he produced for a big Prop 8 sponsor:

There is no reason to bring this sort of LGBT sexuality into the kindergarten classroom; it just shows the extremism of LGBT activists, and their unwillingness to conform with long-established societal norms - not about their sexuality, but about the inappropriateness of forcing sex onto children, whether physically, socially or emotionally.

The people who want kindergarteners to deal with “LGBT” are the same people who are behind the fight to defeat Prop 8.  Which side do you want to be on?

Putting The Freak In Eco-Freak

“I

‘m crying,” emailed Incredible Daughter #2, “because I’m laughing so hard.”I laughed too, but I also was more than a little troubled by the clip she attached to her email:

(If link is broken, click here)

This wailing and flailing over fallen trees is terrifically funny because they all seem so foolish, so out of whack with normal priorities and sensibilities, so ignorant of the cruel ways of nature.

But these people are the reality of the hardcore environmental movement, and watching them you look into the soul of the movement and discover how sick and extreme it really is.

So watch, laugh … and ponder.

MSM Still Blowing Off Edwards Love Child Story

I

just ran a Nexis search of newspapers and newswires over the last week for “John AND Edwards AND Enquirer” and it’s obvious that the MSM are not the least bit interested in reporting on John Edwards’ affair while his wife fights cancer.

Here’s the Nexis tally for Edwards: Six stories total, appearing in the Miami Herald, SF Wrongicle, Boston Herald, The Columbian in Wash. state, the Kansas City Star and the Philly Daily News. No major papers at all, no newswires. This after the story has now been verified by Fox News.

Meanwhile, the foreign press is doing the job journalists are supposed to do. Here’s the stodgy London Sunday Times:

Sleaze scuppers Democrat golden boy

Gotcha: Senator John Edwards, whose wife has cancer, has been caught in a sex scandal that ends his vice-presidential hopes

SCRATCH John Edwards off the list of potential vice-presidential candidates. The former White House contender, who had been hoping to get the nod from Barack Obama, is in the midst of a full-blown sex scandal.

Every supermarket shopper knows that the preternaturally youthful former senator for North Carolina may have fathered a love child with a film-maker while Elizabeth, his saintly wife, is dying of cancer. There are sensational new details on the National Enquirer website, although most of the media have done their best to ignore them.

The tabloid magazine cornered Edwards, 55, leaving a Los Angeles hotel where Rielle Hunter, his alleged mistress, and her baby were staying, at 2.40am last Tuesday. He ran down a hallway and dived into the men’s bathroom. A hotel security guard confirmed the encounter. “His face just went totally white,” the guard said.

The story has been bubbling away for months, but so far there has been not a word about it in the mainstream newspapers, even though Edwards was John Kerry’s running mate in 2004 and has been tipped for a prominent job in an Obama administration – if not vice-president, then attorney-general or antipoverty tsar. (Read more here)

See, it’s not that hard to report this story … if you’re not an American newspaper in the pocket of the DNC.

With Obama winning the presidency by seven percent, we can't blame the media. Their laudatory coverage and refusal to extensively probe into Obama's background and [lack of] experience was at best responsible for five percent of his vote, the pundits tell us. Here is a compilation of over 100 significant instances of pro-Obama/anti-McCain bias during the 2008 campaign.
