The Commentator Accountability Project. Think of it as a sort of "Hinterland's Who's Who" to help identify "commentators" whose sole claim to fame is that they are professional homophobes. Cue the flute music please. Well done GLAAD. Keep the link handy to help you identify these creatures when they crop up in the MSM.

They ought to create a spreadsheet, keeping track of those making homophobic comments who turn out to be gay.

Fundamentalist Christian Tea Party Republican + particularly vile homophobia = secret rent boy customers. But how often? This percentage needs to be defined, and this project could help do it.

Sineed, while I understand the sentiment, I think that is like fishing with dynamite... sure you get the fish, but it is hardly sporting. Wink

The spreadsheet that is of interest is the one showing how often these asshats get face time on the mainstream networks (currently, it seems to be MSNBC that is in the lead). It is an indication of how far there is yet to go to that these spokespeople for what the Southern Poverty Law Center has identified as "hate groups" are constantly being called upon by the MSM to enlighten their viewership/readership with their rantings.
