The very fact that we spoke up cost the Democrats 2/3 of what they could have made had they stopped sucking off the fat cock of the Evangelical Nazi establishment.

I remember during the election that the newscasters would just read off whatever the campaigns had sent them, they would preface it by saying "The McCain Campaign says"...or "The Obama Campaign says"... But there was no journalism to be found. @Leto: So true!!!

If you are a member of the press (or just a blogger) you must question everything. So often our news is merely regurgitated from some other source rather than the reporting source actually doing the leg work. Good job, Queerty for finally asking the question. Now get to the bottom of it. I for one would be quite pleased to find out the truth is the take was much less than $1M. Then they will be doubly embarrassed for not only taking in less but for being so threatened they they had to lie about it! Yes, this IS real journalism, a rarely spotted animal these days.

The same way that they can say that ending don't ask don't tell would be tough becuase it doesn't have support even though polls put the support for ending it at over 70%? Come on, the only shock would be if they DIDN'T lie about how much money they pulled in. Lastly, if they had pulled in a million Obama wouldn't have had that hastily pulled together commemoration of Stonewall. They would have said "Hey, we pulled in a ton of money, obviously they aren't THAT upset with us". Gee, what a shock, you mean a political organization lied?
