NEW YORK: Clergy To Protest MSNBC For Hosting Anti-Gay Hate Group Leaders

Tomorrow progressive and LGBT clergy members will protest outside the Rockefeller Center headquarters of MSNBC to express their anger over the network's routine hosting of viciously anti-gay hate group leader Tony Perkins, head of the Family Research Council. Via Advocate:
“FRC has been designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center for using dishonest, incendiary rhetoric about gay and lesbian Americans,” notes a press release from the online action network Faithful America, “but MSNBC has continued offering a friendly venue for Perkins, neither informing their viewers of FRC’s status nor including any rebuttal from progressive religious leaders. Perkins has appeared on MSNBC more often this year than on any other cable news network.” The clergy group will hold a press conference at 11 a.m. tomorrow at Rockefeller Center in New York City, the building where MSNBC is headquartered, then deliver petitions bearing 20,000 signatures from Faithful America members. “The delegation will remind MSNBC that the hateful views of Perkins and the Family Research Council aren’t reflective of the faith community and demand that the network stop inviting him on the air to represent the views of Christians and other people of faith,” says the press release.

FRC Asks Siri Iris About Abortion

Is that the usual answer? Or did they rig it?

UPDATE: I didn't even notice that the robot's name is "Iris," which is Siri backwards. Which I guess was the plan. D'oh!
