Anti-Gay Group Boycotting McDonalds Holds Press Conference and The Press Doesn't Show up

Hold a Press Conference and the Press Doesn't Show up
That's what happened yesterday in Illinois. Porno Pete and his merry band of manly men held a press conference near a McDonald's to talk about their latest boycott (which will have no effect what so ever). Listen to his ranting:


So once again the major media are doing the work of the homosexual lobby. Many in the media have decided that the “gay” issue is settled, and the homosexual activists have won. (Remember when Big Media thought the abortion issue was pretty much over?) Yesterday’s non-coverage was appalling journalism, even by corrupt Chicago standards. Clearly, the boycott story is compelling — even from a pure business perspective: already, nearly 200,000 people have signed AFA’s boycott petition



Dammit, I MUST BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY, I'VE BEEN TO TOO MANY LEATHER OUTINGS TO NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. He goes on to say that the people involved in the boycott are "good family people" not vegan (are they bad people now?) American hating leftists (Oh, only the right loves American as long as it's white, male dominated and Protestant) or some other fringe group (Petey, do you mean your group, the fringe right wackos who no news media wants to cover?) Denial, denial, denial.



But does this sound like anyone YOU know:


"I've never seen anything like that," Camenker exclaims. "Nobody, obviously, nobody wanted their name in front of this. Nobody was willing to get up and say anything," he continues. "You know, somebody could have at least called for a roll call vote. But it was...as cowardly as anything I've ever seen. This was completely choreographed by the gay movement," Camenker concludes. He adds that calling the process "sleazy doesn't even do it justice."

5. "Liberal Chicago media"?
Really? Like the Chicago Tribune that can't endorse anyone that doesn't have an "R" after their name? That "liberal Chicago media?" The suburban press outfits which are little more than scandal rags? Seriously?

"Help, help, I'm being repressed! Come see the violence inherent to the system!"

6. Oooooh 200,000 signatures
(provided no one lied about it), and 300 million+ Americans costumers. Why that's almost .0066 percent of the American public who've joined their little ban!

:sarcasm: I tell you, If I were McDonalds I'd be shaking in my boots. :sarcasm:

Q3JR4.

7. Haha
From the whacko's site-
"The people involved in this boycott of McDonald’s are good family people — not vegans, America-hating leftists, or some other fringe group."

:rofl:

8. "Porno Pete" LaBarbera is a grade-A, world class asshole.
He and his bigoted organization has tried to put an anti-gay marriage amendment on the ballot in Illinois...with spectacular failure. When I read things like this, I KNOW that there will never be a discriminatory marriage amendment in this state.

13. I just think that anti-gay causes look too back-asswards now
It would be considered cruel and intolerant for the media to lend an ear to such a boycott. It appears that on the gay question, mainstream America has passed a tipping point, even if it isn't ready for gay marriage proper.
