11. "Fewer Than Ten People Show At Ex Gay Rally Expected To Draw Thousands"

Yesterday, American Family Radio’s Sandy Rios spoke to Ex-Gay Pride Month organizer Christopher Doyle about today’s ex-gay lobby day on Capitol Hill. Doyle, who was organizing the since-canceled Ex-Gay Pride banquet at the Family Research Council, complained in an interview with the Christian Post that “un-American” LGBT rights advocates have “shut us out,” explaining that “because of all this homo-fascism and indoctrination in the media, ex-gays aren’t given a fair shake.”

Rios confidently predicted that “thousands of ex-gays are descending” on Washington for a press conference planned for today at the Supreme Court. She lamented that when she led Concerned Women for America the media refused to hear “our ex-gay friends” because it “undermined the whole effort of the homosexual lobby.”

24. Why would you relay a right wing tool's propaganda tweet here?

The attendance was zero because the 8 am rally didn't happen. It was cancelled due to rain. At least the Washington Times admitted as much when reporting this nonstory. Why did you run with it? And why are you taking tweets from that Fox tool Kerpen as gospel?

[7962]

28. Well, i DID say maybe it rained, other than that i didnt know who he was

other than some reporter. All i saw was the clip of the ad for the event in a local web blog and topnewstoday, which i dont consider a right wing rag. Never saw anything about it being cancelled. If thats the case, then sorry I didnt see it.

[SunSeeker]

33. Someone mocking climate change awareness efforts should have tipped you off.

This OFA climate change rally "story" was only found in disgusting propaganda purveyors like the Blaze, Washington Times, Free Republic, oh...and your post.

[7962]

34. Well, since it was all kind of a joke anyway, I dont see why you get so upset.

I didn't look at any of those sites you mention. Kings little "party" had around 50 people there which is a laugher, but more than the couple seen in the picture in the OP. Thats one reason it appeared to me as a joke. People do post sarcasm here on DU quite a bit.

[SunSeeker]

35. A joke, eh? Suuuuuuure.

[7962]

37. If you didnt laugh at that picture, I cant help you!

[SunSeeker]

38. I thought you meant your post was a joke.

The OP was funny. Your attempt to slip in some right wing propaganda was not.

[7962]

39. That WAS supposed to be the joke. guess i'll keep my day job

Boy, DU is a tough room.

[SunSeeker]

40. Please. You're obvious. nt

[7962]

41. If that was the case, I could find a lot more "obvious" shit than that!

[SunSeeker]

42. Yeah, some don't even try. nt

[kelliekat44]

9. I really do get angry when I see the number of women who attend these fiascos.

They are probably mothers...teaching their children hate. It makes me sick.

[Jamaal510]

13. +1

[msanthrope]

14. They might be paid. There are astroturfing organizations that will get you bodies. As long

as you aren't picky.

[Squinch]

18. On the bright side, though they were in the majority, there were only two of them.

[rurallib]

12. Attendees expected free cantaloupes.

[msanthrope]

15. You have to count the Freeper guarding the portapotties. Otherwise it's you and the

National Park Service just conspiring to lie about the turnout.

[ut oh]

16. The quote from the woman

on the right is pure awesome!

[AndyA]

17. I'm guessing Rep. King has a very small district?

He probably thinks because a couple of people showed up, it's proof that he's doing what's best for his constituents.

It would probably never occur to him that people don't care what he has to say, and don't want to hear any more about it, because they don't agree with him.

What an idiot, what a jerk, and what a waste of taxpayer time and money.

[Squinch]

19. Any bets on how long till he says that the people who support him are LEGION, LEGION I TELL YOU, but

they are afraid of reprisals if they show who they are.

But there are TONS of them. And WE'LL SHOW YOU!!!

20. Or - "I'm not going to walk past that creep to get to the ladies room"

[muntrv]

21. Don't these teabaggers know they are supposed to fan out

to inflate their numbers?

[onehandle]

22. My dad was an immigrant.

But he wasn't brown... So That's Ok!

America. Fuck Yeah!

[truebluegreen]

23. (snicker)

[SunSeeker]

25. They remind me of my mother-in-law.

She is virulently anti-immigrant, yet happily uses the dirt cheap services of her undocumented maid and gardener.

[davidpdx]

27. Looks like the 47% to me

[Ian_rd]

29. Thank goodness for photoshop! All King needs now is a photo of an Obama campaign stop to "fix" it.

[Hubert Flottz]

30. Looks like the tea baggers are about down to their last porta pottie...

Going to see a republicon speak is like going to watch the world's biggest washing machine agitator, working in the world's biggest tub of bullshit. Steve King's ideas are about as useful as a screen door on a submarine.

31. I've seen more people at a Costco sample stand. He must be the soy milk sample guy!

[ffr]

32. Who choreographed this event???

The script says to first inform Fox News, so they can advertise before the GOP event, make buses available and bus people in.

Rookies!
