A Storm of Lies - and Laughter

Though I also like the straightforward refutation of NOM's lying claims in this video:



And as usual, Rachel Maddow connects all the dots in this goofy picture:



Even better: You have to watch Stephen Colbert's hilarious send-up of the storm ad.

Yet easy to mock as “Gathering Storm” may be, it nonetheless bookmarks a historic turning point in the demise of America’s anti-gay movement.

What gives the ad its symbolic significance is not just that it’s idiotic but that its release was the only loud protest anywhere in America to the news that same-sex marriage had been legalized in Iowa and Vermont. If it advances any message, it’s mainly that homophobic activism is ever more depopulated and isolated as well as brain-dead. . . . . It is justice, not a storm, that is gathering. Only those who have spread the poisons of bigotry and fear have any reason to be afraid.
