Yes On 8: Responding To The Spurious & Scurrilous LDS Missionary Ad

As I've argued from the beginning, it's not enough that homosexuals be allowed to have civil unions, they have to be married and recognized as such.

It's about forcing their worldview on others.

In the schools. And in the courts.

Their latest salvo, this time attacking the LDS church & their missionaries is just another example of how they are willing to tear down good cultural institutions--marriage, family, religion. They and their fellow travelers are willing to sacrifice all these things.

Latter-day Saint Church leaders issued this statement today: "The Church has joined a broad-based coalition in defense of traditional marriage. While we feel this is important to all of society, we have always emphasized that respect be given to those who feel differently on this issue. It is unfortunate that some who oppose this proposition have not given the Church this same courtesy."

This is beyond the pale.

Please share your strong feelings with your local TV stations who are
airing these commercials, and notify the FCC at 888-225-5233 that you
feel that these ads are inflammatory. LDS Missionaries have had
almost nothing to do with this campaign, and are now becoming targets
for hate acts.

Call your local TV station and tell them how you feel. Sure, this is America, they can run the ad. But that doesn't mean we have to watch their station and boost their ad revenue. If enough of their viewers call and complain, hopefully they'll pull the ad rather than risk losing viewers. Plus, it wouldn't be the first time a TV station pulled an ad because the station director or whoever thought it was in bad taste, etc.

Harry Reid's Nuts: A Report On The Contraction, Not The Possessive

(hat tip: our brother Matt)
Been looking for a gimmicky feature for the blog and after listening to Senator Harry Reid on the Doug Wright show on KSL this morning on the way up Little Cottonwood Canyon, Matt suggested using Harry Reid. Done and done.

Never thought we'd see the day where we missed Tom Daschle. Okay, still don't miss Daschle. But love the picture.

On KSL, in the midst of a heartfelt memorial about the impact President Gordon B. Hinckley had on the public perception of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Doug Wright asked Harry to recall his favorite moment with President Gordon B. Hinckley.

The moment Reid chose to recall? One that makes him look like a crybaby. He said that he attended a meeting in Las Vegas and despite being one of the highest ranking somethings, he wasn't given a seat at the head table. So President Hinckley, apparently reading Reid's mind about the perceived slight, spoke for a few minutes about Reid.

In Harry's mind, Hinckley's mention of Read amounted to a "chastise[ment]" of the event organizers (and anyone else who has a problem with Reid's Democratic politics, so there) for their un-Christian-like behavior in denying him a seat at the big table. Puh-lease. Seems more like a case of Harry projecting his own inferiority complex plus a healthy dose of narcissism.

Remember, this is the same Harry Reid who, when looking at polling data about Iraq in early spring 2007, was practically jumping for joy about the future prospects for Democrats if America lost in Iraq. Yup, Dems, this Senate leader makes you proud to be an American. Who else could be cheerleader to America's enemies? Who else could be gleeful that a loss for America would mean an electoral win for his own party?

Yup, Harry's nuts. And you'll hear all about it, all the time, here at OL&L.
