Bold Lies In Eyman's Petitions

Andrew at NPI and Goldy at HorsesAss are reporting that Tim Eyman's petitions for R-65, his bigoted anti-gay measure to overturn the landmark gay civil rights legislation, have the following banner across the top of them:

NO PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT, NO QUOTAS, NO SAME SEX MARRIAGE

The traditional media keep giving Eyman a free pass to spout his lies. Are they going to stay mum on this as thousands of people get taken in by these lies as they sign his petitions?

The fact that Eyman would so boldly print such lies on his petitions is a clear indication he has been emboldened by the media that continues to kiss up to him. This is in-your-face lying bigotry of the worst kind and it must stop! We need to shine a big fat shining light on this for all to see and the media must do the same, front and center.

Dan - Remember how Eyman operates

The media tells his story to BALANCE the story of the people opposing him. So when Eyman is a lying sack of shit, he get's to lie his ass off in the name of equal time. It doesn't matter that he's a lier- the media feel obligated to be 'fair' to him. Which is bullshit.

Who wants to bet...

...that you won't see a reprint of the petition now showing on various blogs in any newspaper?

They should have this story above the fold so that everyone can see just how Eyman gets his signatures - through deceit and vile lies.
