"Christians" Try to Shill-Spam My Blog
(If you're a blogger opposed to Proposition 8, expect more of this. Clearly the anti-gay crowd intends to begin using blog comment areas as a new venue for spreading their hate.)
I won't repost the comment here, but it might as well have been lifted out of any one of the Prop 8 lying ads (you know, the ones that have been thoroughly refuted by myself, all major newspapers in California, nonpartisan fact-checking organizations, etc.). The person in question visited my "think about proposition 8" page, spent less than a minute on the page (though I suppose a fast reader could read the page that quickly) and then loaded my blog page and tried to post a comment on the first article he or she found. I'm going to guess she, because of the way the posting was worded.
This person claims that Prop 8 "takes away no rights," which is absolutely ridiculous, given the very first sentence of the description of the proposition makes it very clear: it eliminates the right of same-sex couples to marry.
I decided to do some log investigation to see where this person was coming from, since the coward in question posted from a Blogger account with no profile (I do not accept anonymous comments, and I moderate comments on my personal blog).
The IP address was 208.251.116.254 (my blog gets sufficiently little traffic that it was easy to see who was viewing my blog at that point in time). This IP address belongs to Salem Communications Corp at 4880 Santa Rosa Road in Camarillo, California. Their phone number is (805) 987-0400. This is all public information. I haven't pulled it from any private source. And this is what you get for trying to shit on my blog.
Sorry, but this gay guy isn't about to roll over and take your abuse. Maybe that worked for you when you were bullying other kids in high school, but I'm well beyond that adolescent shit.
Salem Communications Corp bills themselves as "Reaching audiences interested in Christian and family content and conservative values on air, online and in print."
What a great name for a bunch of witch hunters, eh?
So I'm sorry, "ma2525," but you're not going to post lies on my blog from your office at Salem Communications Corp in Camarillo, California.
You Prop-8 people know damn well that there's no threat to education, schools, churches, anyone's tax-exempt status or any of the other bullshit you've been spewing. You are liars. You know that coming right out and saying "hate the gays with us" wouldn't get you very far, so you've had to repackage your anti-gay hate in a pseudo-legitimate-sounding facade.
You are liars. You are bearing false witness. You are going to burn in the firey pits of eternal damnation in hell.
Here's the full log for those who are interested in that kind of thing:
