Comments on: The elderly woman with the cross http://www.miketidmus.com/blog/2008/11/17/the-elderly-woman-with-the-cross/ A blog from San Diego Mon, 15 Mar 2010 01:49:33 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Mike Tidmus http://www.miketidmus.com/blog/2008/11/17/the-elderly-woman-with-the-cross/comment-page-1/#comment-441 Mike Tidmus Thu, 20 Nov 2008 23:03:36 +0000 http://www.miketidmus.com/blog/?p=5089#comment-441 Thank you. There are several blogs that try to keep up with these rumors, but a lot of bloggers were so focused on getting word out about Join the Impact that there just wasn't time to put out these small fires as they popped up. The <em>peaceful Christians set upon by an angry mob of militant homosexuals in the Castro</em> is another example. I first heard that one early on 15 November, but I was on my way out the door to march with 20K other San Diegans against Prop 8, so it took some time to track down the facts and sources and write about it.

I wish we had some sort of crack squad to shoot down religious right anecdotes when they come up. This expose needs to go out to as many people as possible because I know that the gay community hasn't heard the last of this lie. Mike, I want to commend you for your work here.

When did that second event take place? 1. The woman is a crazed publicity hound with a martyr complex. 2. Why should protesters be required to remove the sticks from their signs while Crazy Phyllis is allowed to carry a weapon of mass destruction? No, I didn’t know.
