For those who were not aware (we weren’t) One News Now is the name of a right wing Christian website. After having made a mockery of our political process, they have now done the same with regard to their homophobic selves. It seems they picked up on their word monitoring network, which has a wide stance, that a track phenom named Tyson Gay had just set 2 world records for the fastest 100 meter dash in 9.68 seconds. On the One News Network site however that sport event was edited to read “homosexual sets record” (maybe because they refuse to say the word “gay”). They really did, although for the record Mr. Gay’s mark set in the Olympic trials may be judged as “windaided” and thus not count. Would that someone or something or some event could do the same regarding the bigots of “One News” who besmirch along with their targets the names of the many, well intentioned evengelicals who don’t share their intolerance and emulate such intolerance. How about a national election with no, or at least just a little bit of windaided prejudice thrown in (we do mean you AM talk radio) and one that gets honestly counted.
