Christians Urged to Boycott Glenn Beck - NYTimes The Caucus Blog

Many in the left, esp. leftist activists in universities and churches, abuse their position to advocate for this political view.

Why is advocacy of this view portrayed as "abuse" of their position?

Because you cited one line from one episode of one show?

MSNBC has been caught in flat out lies, just like

No, not "just like". Fox News presents a pattern of pervasive and sustained bias which simply is not prevalent at such a striking level on MSNBC.

And the same could be said for MSNBC except in a liberal slant.

Except it wouldn't be the same, and it wouldn't be correct or justified. Trying to equate saying the opposite thing to saying the same thing is just silly.

HAE been mistaken for the opposite gender?

imgur isn't the only decent image host. At least I didn't use Imageshack, Tinypic or Photobucket.

Also, I don't know that it makes sense to say that anti-gay marriage folks are interfering with society. They're trying to maintain the status quo. Agree or disagree with their viewpoint, it's the gay rights activists that are trying to "interfere" with the current laws of our society.

Wrong. Just flat-out, painfully wrong. Gay people are a part of society as much as anyone else, and everything you've just written presumes that heterosexuals and only heterosexuals have some kind of unique ownership of society and the status quo. They don't. Society isn't theirs alone; they don't own society any more than gay people do. The "current laws of society" that you cite are themselves an act of interference with the lives of a segment of society. "Trying to maintain the status quo" in this regard necessarily entails interfering with society and people's lives. Working to legalize gay marriage does not bring about any such interference and, in fact, explicitly reduces it.

Right = don't interfere with society and social lives? Except those of gay people, apparently.

Yeah, people often think I'm a woman. Probably because I kind of look like one.

Yesterday, I interviewed some people from the Westboro Baptist Church. I don't think they liked me. [video]

and your questions and interview style are so appalling

Heh, that was kind of the point.

People who live in a fantasy world should keep their delusions to themselves.

Swedish cartoonist draws Muhummad with a dog's body, extremists try to kill cartoonist, police arrest extremists, multiple Swedish papers reprint original cartoon. Yay!

but what is the point to that?

There doesn't have to be one. If there's nothing wrong with it, there's no need to object to it.
