What’s your favorite TV theme song, old and recent? Mine would be the 1976 disco version of Theme From S.W.A.T by Rhythm Heritage. And then Jonny Quest.

GOProud president Jimmy LaSalvia went on Fox News to announce that his gay-bashing is conclusive proof that hate crimes laws don’t work. LaSalvia is apparently hallucinating that Minority Report’s Pre-Crime Division has already arrived from the future.

Think Progress has the transcript: “The minority very much hoped to call a witness today at this hearing to testify in support of DOMA, I’m sure she would have done an excellent job. She declined, however, citing one reason the threats and intimidation that have been leveled not only her but her friends and family as a result of her …

“Why was this [death of Kletzky] allowed to happen? Let’s think about it. If we go back to the cause, the effect was he was the victim, but the cause was a Jew [Yiddish] that the evil will come to destroy you within your midst.

It wasn’t written about them one way or another. It was written for one specific purpose: to protect the free exercise of the Christian religion. We must be clear: the First Amendment does not prohibit …

UPDATE: The live stream has concluded.

Note how NOM once again rips off a local news clip, retitles it and posts it to their own channel. They did the same thing with my original video of their Bronx hate rally.

“We’ve already met the first victims of this new gay marriage regime. Town clerks, charged with a duty to issue and record marriage licenses, are faced with a stark choice: give up stable employment in the midst of a troubled job market, or give up their religious convictions about marriage. Two clerks have already resigned; others have been warned that …

“As a pro-family organization, we would prefer not to use R-rated language in reporting the news–but in our current culture of sexual dysfunction, sometimes it can’t be helped.
