ArGee, I just told you in the very last post why it's relevant. It goes to the credibility of the video and those who are distributing it. It most likely shows selectively edited clips which are completely out of context. If the distributors have a fund-raising agenda, perhaps they're distorting what's on the video just a bit? Maybe they need to make the problem appear worse than it really is just to get people fired up and eager to write them a check? Come on. I know you're not credulous enough to have never considered that.

Am I saying they're faking it, or staging it? No, but you're intelligent enough to know how people can be slandered by selective editing and an omission of context. It's done to conservatives by the leftist media all the time. I'm not defending anything that might be on this tape, but trying to consistently practice objective fairness.

Conservatives complain about media bias all the time. It's a bit self-serving and hypocritical to raise the issue of bias and slander when it's a group you belong to, but say nothing when the target of denigration is a group you oppose.

This argument about the tape of "Gay Pride" parade public perversion is unbelievable.

1. My spouse lived in SF for years and saw more than one of these parades. (Not on purpose, the roads are closed and it's hard to avoid seeing the crap.) Everything you've read about these parades is true, and understated.

2. I have read numerous eyewitness accounts of these parades and other public excesses. Articles by pro-gay writers, neutral (more or less) writers, and conservative writers. They all agree on the facts - that "Gay" Pride parades contain sexually explicit homosexual acts, simulated and sometimes actual, performed in public.

3. It matters not who filmed the perverse sexual acts. Trying to find bias in the producer of said video is worse than arguing about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. It's in the same league as Clinton dancing around the word "is".

4. The really interesting point here is why tdadams keeps supporting the "gay" agenda. ArGee, me and many others are totally clear about why we oppose it.

Selectively edited or not, the clips are real. I didn't use the video to claim that gays are always having perverted parades, only to claim that I don't want to see similar pictures here.

Why is the source relevant?

Shalom.
