A collection of nutjobs misnaming themselves as "American Family Association" and their offshoot "One Million Moms" are on a rampage against gays. This time they after JCPenney for daring to have Ellen Degeneres as a spokesperson.
If you look at their history, they should just be calling themselves Bigots'Я'Us.
Apparently, when I wrote a post yesterday about Ellen Degeneres and Portia de Rossi getting married, it struck a sore spot with some people on the right. I have been accused of being a hypocrite and of having a double standard, because I had the audacity of including a clip in which Ellen Degeneres explained to John McCain how she felt not having the same rights as other Americans.
The odd thing is they seemed more outraged that I did not have a clip of Degeneres confronting Barack Obama about the same issue. This is even though no such clip exists.
I do find it quite ironic that now, the right is all for the Fairness Doctrine.
But, unlike Charlie Sykes, I won't whine about how the right is trying to shut me up. Instead, I will acquiesce to their demands by showing not one, but three different clips with Obama and Degeneres.
The first one shows that Obama has a dirty, shameful family secret:
Then we have one that comes via Brew City Brawler, showing how Obama really wants to take over the world:
And finally, another one in which Obama gets grilled over his role as a father. Please note, I think this may be where the Messiah thing got started:
There. Three separate videos. But somehow, I don't think this will satisfy the right's craving for histrionic, selective outrage.
Congratulations go out to Ellen Degeneres and Portia de Rossi, who were married over the weekend.
Now, if only the rest of the country, including Wisconsin, would become as enlightened as to allow equal rights to everyone.
And for your entertainment, here is a video in which Ellen politely puts it to a flat-footed McCain who could not offer an intelligent response for his prejudice.
