Hysterical WorldNetDaily banner headline of the day

| »

Here’s the current banner headline featured at the top of the WorldNetDaily front page as of this writing:

WND banner headline: “CHUCK NORRIS: OBAMA CREATING GAY BOY SCOUTS?”

*Le GASP!!!*

Naturally, the actual column reveals nothing of the sort, headlined slightly less hysterically as ‘Is Obama creating a pro-gay Boy Scouts of America?’ and instead focusing on a Boy Scouts board member who plans to propose repealing the group’s anti-gay policy, followed by umpteen paragraphs of Glenn-Beck-esque fear-mongering about whether the Obama administration is behind this move to homosexualize this most esteemed of child-strengthening American institutions and yadda yadda yadda. (Wingnuts do have a thing for febrile worship of random pseudo-patriotic interests du jour.)

Of course, the fact that even talking about removing a blatantly discriminatory policy in the hopes of healing the group’s growing stigma of anti-gay bigotry is seen as a bad thing should really tell you a lot more about the whackaloons doing the complaining than anything else.
