Title: Hilariously named protests
Post by: Bill Peckham on April 10, 2009, 03:59:33 PM

First there is this big campaign to Teabag the White House

Now the National Organization for Marriage (NOM NOM NOM) has launched 2M4M

Seriously. The organizers of an anti gay marriage campaign called their campaign 2M4M.

Someone should tell them about the Google.

that is hysterical-    :rofl;   I used to be against gay marriage- then I concluded I was just being closed minded- I am not against marriage- or gays or lesbians or people who likes fuzzy animal costumes- and if I were them I would want the same protections I have, when it comes to protecting the ones I love. And I don't give a crap about the religious aspect- so why not gay marriage? you could have animal marriage and I wouldn't care at this point in life! JUST BE HAPPY!!!

and I don't think having different beliefs makes them dumb- I mean just because someone does not agree with me, does not mean I am the only one who is right- I just have a diff. opinion.

As I have said before my mother is gay.  I grew up in a two woman household.  And I think I turned out alright.  I grew up with some really nasty stuff.  I lost friends because my mother was gay, we had to move a few times because it wasn't safe.   What the hell dose it matter if two people of the same sex get married?  Everyone out there who is married and loves your husband/wife very much.  How would you like it if someone told you that you two couldn't love each other. Or couldn't have gotten married.  Its wrong and its stupid.  So why would you think that would for some reason be smart enough to goggle it?

Some one, probably a comedian, said that they believe in gay marriage.  Why shouldn't gay people be as  miserable as everyone else?

I heard that too and the two people who come to mind that said it are George Carlin and Drew Carey. I know I had seen it on tv. I guess I should Google it along with 2M4M  :urcrazy; no idea what Google will show on that.

hehehe - okay, if you don't want to search the urban dictionary yourself - M4M is the text message men looking for men use in online dating sites.  So 2M4M would then logically be a couple looking for a menage a trois. . .
 :rofl;

Ohhh Geez, glad I didn't do a Google search yet then. Probably wouldn't have found that. I'm not to familiar with text messaging short hand lingo either.

2M4M.org is also an actual website and 2M4M is shorthand for "2 Men for Marriage".  It is hilarious that an anti gay marriage organization would attempt to adopt this same name.

Wonder if Jon Stewart or SNL will pick up on this and make a joke.

That's the established short hand.The short hand has been around at least since the '80s - back then it was used in the single ads that took up the last few pages of the free weekly "what's happening" papers in different cities - here it's the Seattle Weekly and the Stranger. Now it's what you'd see in the craigslist ads.

Just as funny is to use teabag as a verb, which is something that has come up recently. People like Beck or Hannity have been saying they want to teabag this or that politician. Tea bagging for those who don't want to click the link has for a long time meant a certain sex act. Don't click the link if hearing a sex act described will offend you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F26vC_1_8xw (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F26vC_1_8xw)

Maybe they have their Google set for safe search.

And what ever happened to State's Rights?

It seems some conservatives all of a sudden don't believe in it.
And Libertarians are supposed to believe in maximum individual liberty, "to live and let live."

I guess only when it is convenient.

I guess people who stand behind Marriage being between a Man and a Woman like God ordained, don't have their minds in the gutter to know these things.  I had no idea.  I had no idea what a tea bagger was either.  Sick minds know these things.

If marriage is a religiously ordained bond then why do the Gay people even want to call it marriage.  Call it something else.  I think the "Union" would work. 

Satan wants to break down family and values and morals.  We already know he does not win.

Please. tea bagging is not a homosexual thing,  I have it on good authority that most tea bagging is heterosexual in nature.

Im not sure what hannity said about teabagging(dont care for the man he is the same as limbaugh IMO) but i never heard beck say he wanted to teabag anyone???  Truly where do you get your information.

Now people who talked about teabagging were your MSNBC' CNN's and Garrafalows.  There were RUDE obnoxious crude and pathetic in there sad attempts to make ordinary people who had DIGNAFIED protests where there was no violence and they wanted to have a voice.

Wanna hear a great joke.  A.C.L.U.
And another ACORN
