On Monday the Carpetbagger mentioned<\/a> One News Now and an amusing problem the fundamentalist “news” service had when it replaced “gay” with “homosexual” in a sports story.<\/p>\n

What he neglected to mention is that One News Now is a great source for kooky right wing news that you can’t find anywhere else. I’m a huge fan and usually check in at least once a day. It’s almost as entertaining as “The Onion,” and if I didn’t know better, I’d think it was a clever parody.<\/p>\n

But no, it’s real; they mean it. Consider a story<\/a> that ran this week about how a gay pride parade in Israel will probably bring about the end of the world. No, seriously. Turns out it’s not that French atom smasher<\/a> we have to worry about after all. It’s those pesky gays determined to usher in the four horsemen of the apocalypse! <\/p>\n

The article<\/a> quotes Jim Hutchens, a “Christian Zionist” who is infuriated that Israel’s supreme court said gays have a right to march in Jerusalem. <\/p>\n

“There is a judgment that God brings worldwide and on Israel, as a matter of fact,” Hutchens said. “And I think those are the events that lead up to what we refer to as Armageddon, the apocalyptic besieging of Jerusalem.”<\/p>\n

You see, you could scour The Washington Post, The New York Times, the Associated Press, CNN and MSNBC all day, and you’re just not going to get high-quality reporting like this. <\/p>\n

And for even more entertainment, I recommend you read some of the comments below the article from loyal One News Now fans. After you’ve read them, you might want to go curl up under a desk for a while as you contemplate the sobering reality that each of these individuals will probably be voting in November.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
