• Evening Thread: What Was All the Fuss About That Tebow Ad, Again?

  
  Big Journalism — Authority: 780
  What could be more fun than watching the humorless nags of the Left consistently walk into the business end of the same half-open door time and time again and pick up a fresh shiner? Because they can’t help but project their own congenital guilt, rage and misery on everyone else, they’re absolutely sure of two ...

• The Hype of Controversy

  
  Onward, Forward, Toward... — Authority: 120
  Well, the “controversial commercial” was not controversial at all in reference to the actual content of the verbal script. I now wonder if FOTF created the hype just to get more attention. Either way, they just wasted $2.5 million to more than $3 million for 30 seconds that came across more like a FTD flowers ...

  The commercial has not been seen yet, but it is so controversial The Thirty second clip, scheduled to air during Super Bowl XLIV, has already started controversy concerning whether the ad should air or not.

• Call Your Senators Thursday to Repeal DADT !

  
  Michael-In-Norfolk - - Coming Out In Mid Life — Authority: 445
  As readers know, I am a strong supporter of DADT because I see the injustice it works on honorable and patriotic LGBT citizens who seek to serve their country. As I see it, the existence of DADT has nothing to do with military readiness and everything to do with religious based anti-gay discrimination. If anyone ...

  Alexandria — Authority: 150
  I’ve made the rather incendiary accusation in a couple of places, both times in reference to Focus on the Family, an organization that social conservatives rather seem to like, that it is a hate group.

  WordJourney Magazine — Authority: 457
  I have yet to see it because previews are not being shown, but the Tim Tebow Super Bowl ad inspires. It inspires controversy, that is.
