CNN is being a pussy

By Byron LaMasters

They won't air this ad by the Log Cabin Republicans that calls for unity within the Republican Party, asking the party to focus on what unites it - the war on terror, and put aside divisive figures like Pat Buchanan and Rick Santorum. Log Cabin also airs a picture of a "God Hates Fags" sign by Fred Phelps's gang. C'mon CNN. It's offensive, but you're also airing ads by the Swift Vets that talk about chopped off heads. That ought to be much more controversial. Anyway, it'll be interesting to watch if the Log Cabin Republicans do ultimately sell-out, and make themselves irrelevent to the gay community by endorsing George W. Bush, or will they actually hold Bush accountable for using gays and lesbians as victims in fanning the flames of the culture war.
