GLAAD Rips NYT's Puff Piece On AFA

Yesterday I noted that the New York Times handled the vicious American Family Association with kid gloves in a profile that was almost glowing at times. Today GLAAD denounces the piece and its author. An excerpt:

Anti-gay activists claim that those judges “supported” marriage for gay and lesbian couples – a claim which Eckholm repeats here. But this is a gross mischaracterization. The truth is that those judges ruled that under the state constitution, the state could not legally prevent gay and lesbian couples from marrying. “Supporting” something and saying “it’s unconstitutional to ban” something are two very different statements, particularly when it comes to judicial rulings. By adopting AFA’s own claims here, Eckholm may as well have called them “activist judges.”

There are other instances of this too, like saying Home Depot supports “gay pride parades” instead of correctly pointing out that it supports the entire LGBT community. Why the focus on just parades? I have to assume that’s the language AFA uses, because that’s the image it wants to conjure up in its boycott calls. By adopting AFA’s slyly inaccurate language – and by mischaracterizing this disagreement as one between the AFA and “liberals” rather than between the AFA and an overwhelming majority of Americans – Erik Eckholm has done his audience and his newspaper a great disservice.

Progressive Media Does a Hit Job On Pamela Geller -Atlas Shrugs

As many of you know, Pamela Geller editor of Atlas Shrugs is a friend of mine. I call her the "BlogMother" kind of like the Godfather but she only "Whacks" Dhimmis and Terrorists. When I was getting into the blog world, Pamela was one of the people who helped me, gave me advice and even protected me when I was attacked.

There are people in the world who see a wrong in the world, give a quick "oh that's Sad" and get on with their lives. Then their are people who see a wrong and go all out to right it. Pamela that second kind of person. Her heart is the size of a skyscraper. She will grab a wrong by the neck and and do whatever she can to eradicate the evil.

When honor killing victim, Aqsa Parvez, was buried without a tombstone Pamela raised money for Aqsa to have a memorial.That is what Pamela is all about protecting those who have no protection. That is what is behind her work against Jihad in America.

Today another friend Donald Douglass of American Power Blog was alerted to the fact the Progressive media is trying to place blame for last week's disgusting Oslo terrorist act on Pamela and other conservative bloggers. Along with the New York Times and Slate a Donald lists a host of progressive bloggers who are all tied up in their briefs running to place blame on Geller for the terrorist attack.

The assumption is ridiculous, as Pamela told the Daily Caller

“It’s like equating Charles Manson, who heard in the lyrics of Helter Skelter a calling for the Manson murders,” Geller said in an exclusive phone interview. “It’s like blaming the Beatles. It’s patently ridiculous.”

In the manifesto, Breivik cites Geller and other anti-Jihadists as sources for his inspiration. The appearance earned Geller and company a lashing at the hands of The New York Times and many other mainstream media outlets. Reporters have scoured Breivik’s writings, in his manifesto and elsewhere, looking for a connection to anti-jihad activists like Geller.

I will add this. Last night I had the displeasure of watching the sick video made by the animal who made the attacks in Oslo last week, he quoted Barack Obama and CNN amongst others (including Dracula's Father). Blaming the Pamela for what happened is just as stupid as blaming Obama, CNN or Dracula's Dad.
