Why GetEQUAL Keeps Scuffing Up The White House Fence

By November 16, 2010 at 3:11pm · 13 comments

Yesterday before they were hauled off from the White House fence and arrested, GetEQUALizers like Dan Choi and Robin McGeHee made sure the small crowd assembled understood they were not engaged in public performance art, but SOMETHING SERIOUS.

    Robin and Dan make more than $90,000 a year playing the part of “activists.” Their behavior is disgusting. They are only trying to get attention so they can raise money … for their insane salaries.

    Please don’t feed the weasels.

    She had an OBAMA supportive shirt while criticizing him, I appreciate that.

    Pass the collection plate GetPaid… We’re waiting for the next fundraising email. It’s been almost a week since you last asked for cash…

    As one of those arrested yesterday, I can assure you no one is paying me a salary.

    Now if “Andrew W” aka “Caryn” aka “Mike” aka “Jenny Q” could stop magnifying his cowardice by hiding behind multiple fake names what attempting to smear those with the courage to use THEIR names…..At least he appears to have stopped laughably claiming that GE events never draw more than 4 or 5 participants or any mainstream media attention when the videos above explode both lies.

    Missed you in jail with us, Andrew. Come on down!

    I thank the people of Get Equal and their friends for expressing their frustration with the president and our congress.

    I think since we have more Republican members of congress maybe we need to have a public relations campaign to get those members on board since its likely our fierce advocate is not quite fierce right now to get the job done this year before lame duck session ends.

    This is just another attempt to raise money or become a celebrity. It is painful to watch these mis-fits pretend to represent the GLBT Community. They are hurting us with their bizarre behavior. that’s why nobody shows up for their so-called “actions.”

    I wish they would just go away. I’m glad nobody is donating to their dangerous organization.

    GetEqual are exposing the US Army as the evil bigotted organisation that it is. For that I thank them.

    The US Army is now known not only as an organisation which engages in torture and prisoner abuse. It is also known as a disgusingly bigotted organisation.

    @Matt Munson: Are you suggesting that “pissing on people” gets them “on board?” GetEQUAL is only looking for headlines so they can raise more money. The idiots in charge make $90,000 a year and they do one stunt a month. It’s a great career choice – non-profit whore.

  • Activism Costs $

    PLEASE DONATE NOW TO CONTINUE THE CLEVER ACTIONS OF THE PROFESSIONAL ACTIVISM GROUP GETEQUAL.

    WITH MORE MONEY WE CAN HAVE TWO EVENTS PER MONTH. CALL NOW, OPERATORS ARE STANDING BY.

    VOLUNTEER ACTIVISTS NEVER GOT THE JOB DONE – WE ARE THE PROFESSIONALS AND WE WILL SUCCEED. WE HAVE MANY ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND WE NOW HAVE THE DEMOCRATS RIGHT WHERE WE WANT THEM – BEGGING US FOR OUR SUPPORT AND WE ARE BEGGING FOR YOURS.

    IF YOU WANT YOUR EQUALITY YOU BETTER GET USED TO PAYING FOR IT AND THAT IS ONLY FAIR. DON’T BE CHEAP WITH YOUR FUTURE. PAY TO PLAY.

    @Kevin: ..and yet they got a WH invite today to go in and speak…you can’t buy that kind of access.

    Wow I haven’t seen the bitter train come out with this much force in a long time. Someone clearly has an axe to grind.

    As someone who has served with the military and is from a military family, I applaud anyone who is making a stand for this. It is mighty easy to criticize someone from the comfort of your couch/desk chair.

    Any questions I may have had about Dan Choi were silenced when he went to rejoin the army after the LCR’s initial injunction

    Robin is the lesbian MLK. She knows you have to piss people off to make any progress. We won’t win until this fight is like a lesbian breakup, complete with a U-haul so we can find another country to live in.

    She is getting fat. Big salary, big face. It happens a lot.

    @Tony O: You heard about Robins break up too? Complete with the uhaul
