D.C. Gay 'News' Magazine Honors Man Who Compared Knights of Columbus to the KKK

Posted on 05/05/2009 6:29:08 AM PDT by keep your powder dry

For those who were shocked by Obama "faith" advisor Harry Knox knocking the Knights of Columbus, the Catholic men's group, as an "army of oppression," he is not alone. Gay activists are now taking pride in getting Knights charity drives crushed at supermarkets.

Metro Weekly, a D.C-based gay "news" magazine, honored a man for his "Storefront Stand" -- he harassed Knights of Columbus volunteers raising funds for the mentally disabled (usually with Tootsie Roll candies) outside a Safeway store in northern Virginia. Allison also succeeded in getting other Knights thrown off one Giant supermarket's property. To passers-by at Safeway, Brad Allison compared the Knights to the Ku Klux Klan: "It is a bit of an extreme point to be making, but I thought it was effective."

That's an especially uneducated taunt, considering the Klan was viciously anti-Catholic. Allison also lied to the public by claiming the Knights don't do charity work. Here's Will O'Bryan's account in Metro Weekly:

“...he harassed Knights of Columbus volunteers raising funds for the mentally disabled (usually with Tootsie Roll candies) outside a Safeway store in northern Virginia. Allison also succeeded in getting other Knights thrown off....”

Hey FLAMER....who’s the bigot? Great job, they were raising money for the mentally disabled CHILDREN and you interfered with them....Wow, you’re some HERO...NOT! If I were there you would not had a chance to “kick us out”.
Let me add, beside gays fighting for their so called “rights”, what have YOU done for humanity? Nothing, you care for no one but your perverted desires!

You do nothing but spread hate...I know this first hand! This is why you are digging your own grave! It’s only a matter of time....

Bought a $5 Tootsie Roll this weekend in front of our local Kroger’s store.

These “activists” never seem to have the guts to come out in the country to have their little protests, I wonder why that is?

They and all the evil ones that are showing their true colors in these last days will soon be judged by the ultimate judge. Jesus is coming soon and will sweep away all those who are followers of Satan. What a glorious day that will be.

I'm not catholic, but I know some KOCs.

They drink beer, raise money for charities and directly help the community, and watch football.

Yawn.

LOL.....yeah they drink their beer but they raise one heck of a lot of money for good causes. They also believe in this country and will stand to protect it. One thing you have to say for the KC’s, when they get together for a function, they have a good time. Be it a pancake breakfast, a beer fest or selling corn on a stick at a fair, they enjoy themselves and they work their tails off. Hard to find a better group of guys that are doing good.

You know what? You absolutly right. If food, grown in the country, was not able to make it to the city, I wonder how the “activists” would chant their way our of hunger.

"It is a bit of an extreme point to be making, but I thought it was effective."

Stalinism in a phrase. Goebbels would be proud.

Tyrannical liberalism. There is no tolerance. Only political correctness.

I stood in front of a supermarket last Friday for three hours, passing out tootsie rolls, and raised approximately $200 - $250, thanks to the good hearted Okies who were doing their payday shopping. Every penny will go to the Center of Family Love in Okarche, Okla.

D.C. Gay News can KMA, but they have to wait their turn. Absolutely no line jumping allowed!
