Far-right already at it, about Oscars...
From WingNutDaily, the bullshit web site:

WND's Idea of A 'Homosex-Fest'
Topic: WorldNetDaily

The headline of a Feb. 22 WorldNetDaily article states: "Oscars turn into blatant homosex-fest."

How so? Because two winners said nice things about gays. Kovacs offers no evidence of "homosex" actually taking place, let alone that there was an entire "fest" dedicated to it.

As part of its anti-gay agenda, WND loves to work in the term "homosex-fest" wherever it can -- a search for the word in WND's archives pulls up 39 hits.

Any bets as to how many closet gays these losers have on their staff?

4. Good. Let them keep making themselves irrelevant
The more they lose their temper over things like the Oscars not condeming enough gays, the more people they will drive away. Eventually they will only have crazy nutjobs left.

6. I'm reminded of Walker Percy's
Edited on Tue Feb-24-09 04:14 PM by MineralMan
Love in the Ruins. In it, he describes a run-down, closed drive-in movie theater...

"Its sign has advertised the same film for the last five years:

HOMO HIJINKS
ZANY LAFF RIOT

It took a lot to get people out to movies in the last days of the old Auto Age."


It's as if the Freepers are living in the mad world of a Graham Green novel.

7. I called into a radio show once Re:WorldNetDaily
They were talking about the founding of Jamestown in Virginia. I mentioned that Virginia was not founded as a religious colony, that it was a capital endeavor. Then the DJ guy quoted some story from WorldNetDaily and when he did I mentioned that WorldNetDaily is referred to on the internets as "World Nut Daily" They played my little segment about 5 minutes later(time delay) and the part I said about World Nut Daily had been cut from the little segment, opened my eyes even further to media manipulation.
