New N.O.M. VIDEO: "Legalizing same-sex marriage has consequences for kids!"

By GottaLaff



Wait, what?!

"We have to accept gay marriage whether we like it or not"?

Oh noes! Does this mean we have to accept straight marriage too? And other natural things, like, oh I dunno, aging? And eating? And being born? And hair color? And ... love? No! NOOOO! Not love!

Check out the error at the end. Some folks have suggested that Miss California wrote and edited this gem.

VIDEO: N.O.M. Warns Gay Marriage Will Turn Your Children Gay

By GottaLaff

Gramma, "my teacher says that [N.O.M] is so old fashioned," and consists of a bunch of homophobic, narrow-minded bigots:

Cornerstone Policy Research (CPR) and the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) are trying their hardest to stop same-sex marriage from becoming legal in New Hampshire. The two organizations have just released an ad airing in New Hampshire called “I’m Confused,” which uses children to express how “confused” they will be if two men or two women are legally allowed to be married.

David Shuster, thank you for reminding this punditiot that there are laws against discrimination. And for asking how gay marriage could possibly affect straight marriage. And for pointing out his utter lack of logic to his face.

By the way, my marriage to Mr. Laffy is still intact. I can't figure out how, with all Teh Gay wedded bliss out there. I better get out my umbrella, because it's raining gays and a bigger, badder storm is a-comin'!

Miss "Opposite Marriage" California to star in TV ad from conservative group N.O.M.

By GottaLaff

Remember Miss California, that sage, open-minded, inclusive beauty pageant representative of my state who likes opposite marriage better than gay marriage? Looks like her brainless opining paid off. N.O.M.-- remember them, too? Of "Ga(y)thering Storm" infamy?-- has latched on to her the way Virginia Foxx latched on to bigotry:

Carrie Prejean, the Miss USA contestant from California who famously declared her opposition to same sex marriage on the pageant stage, will star in a new $1.5 million ad campaign funded by the National Organization for Marriage. [...]

[She's] become a fresh-faced standard-bearer for the same-sex marriage opponents, who have rallied to her defense.

"Fresh-faced"? That's so darned complimentary and all-American-sounding. How nice that CNN has chosen to describe her that way.

The National Organziation for Marriage has scheduled a press conference with Prejean in Washington on Wednesday to unveil the new ad, called "No Offense."

Of course. Thank you. No offense taken. Never. Why would you even think to say that?

"She is attacked viciously for having the courage to speak up for her truth and her values," the group said in a press release. "But Carrie's courage inspired a whole nation and a whole generation of young people because she chose to risk the Miss USA crown rather than be silent about her deepest moral values."

What a spunky little gem she is.

According to the group, the ad will call "gay marriage advocates to account for their unwillingness to debate the real issue: gay marriage has consequences."

Consequences?! Oh no! Omg! My stable, successful marriage is in real trouble! Everyone's going to become gay! And not just gay, nosireebob! Gay abortionists! Gay divorced abortionists!

Rank this right up there with a Stage 5 swine flu alert. We're all doomed!

Twofer: Revealing video pulled; Alex Witt admits pushing irrelevant stories

By GottaLaff

Not-So-

Today's Not-So-Quickie #1:

I learned last night that the video I posted here, the one that reveals those "not real people" auditions for the NOM anti-gay sham video, was pulled from YouTube. The National Organization for Misanthropy Marriage called "copyright infringement!", but oops, too late. Millions have seen the weenies behind the curtain, not only all over the Blogosphere, but on the Tee Vee Machine, too.

Today's Not-So-Quickie #2:

While watching Alex Witt and "her boys" (::eye roll::) this morning, I picked up on this little tidbit. Pat Buchanan (why is he still called on to opine on national Tee Vee again?) was rambling on about the counterproductive story being pushed all over the Tee Vee Machine challenging Biden's version of a story v. Rove's, who called him a liar. Alex wonders out loud why the "story" is even relevant, considering the much more newsworthy crises of the day.

Buchanan:

"If it weren't relevant, we wouldn't be talking about it."

Alex:

[laughs] "Oh, I beg to differ."

Alex Witt, thank you for finally admitting out loud that cable news pushes inanity and irrelevance on the air waves, as opposed to genuine, illuminating, objective, and vital news that America needs in order to maintain an informed public and a real democracy.
