Teabaggers march: MSM all over it. Gay equal rights march today : MSM IGNORES IT.
OH THE LIBERAL MEDIA. YEAH RIGHT. ASSHOLES.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


oCT 10

President Obama speaks tonight at a fundraising banquet for the gay-left Human Rights Campaign, the same group Ted Kennedy joked before last year about Jesse Helms being in Hell. The dinner will also feature entertainment by pop star Lady Gaga and the cast of the Fox prime-time show "Glee," made by infamously raunchy gay producer Ryan Murphy.

The dinner and Sunday's National Equality March on Washington have been barely mentioned by the national media, certainly the Washington Post. The Post only has a map buried in the Metro section on Saturday. It should get greater notice after Obama speaks -- and is even protested by unhappy gay "liberation" activists.

4. The MSM fears offending the Right with the Mention of "Gay".
When we decided that the Right Rules no matter the who is
elected, this is what you get.

Yes those states with more trees than people make all the decisions
for country. OOOOOOHeeeee, we cannot cover those people with cooties
who live on the Coasts or God Forbid the big cities. They do not
after all represent America.

5. It's a waste of time..
according to Barney Frank...he's kinda right...

WASHINGTON — Rep. Barney Frank, an openly gay member of Congress, says he'd rather see gay rights supporters lobbying their elected officials than marching in Washington this weekend, calling the demonstration "a waste of time at best." Frank said in an interview with The Associated Press that he considers such demonstrations to be "an emotional release" that does little to pressure Congress.
"The only thing they're going to be putting pressure on is the grass," the Massachusetts Democrat said Friday.

Now, if y'all made a bunch of misspelled, racist signs and maybe toted some semi-automatic rifles, then you'd have something.
