Demand that NBC Universal take action to end its affiliation with KETK now
KETK-NBC news anchors ask: “Will the acceptance of homosexuality in this society be the downfall of America?”
Yes, that was a question actually posed to viewers by a Texas-based NBC affiliate TV station, both on the air and online. But it didn’t end there. The station then went on to broadcast responses from viewers -- some of the most vitriolic attacks on LGBT people that you will ever hear on a network affiliate.

The video is shocking. But the lack of response from NBC Universal -- KETK's parent network -- is even more shocking. That's why we need you to watch the video now and then sign our petition to NBC Universal executives Jeff Zucker and Steve Burke asking them to end NBC's affiliate relationship with KETK immediately:

Dear Mr. Zucker and Mr. Burke,

We are shocked by the segment aired on KETK-NBC in Texas in which the anchors asked viewers if the acceptance of gays would lead to the "downfall of America." As President of NBC Universal, we demand that you take action now to end your affiliate relationship with KETK immediately.

Please add your name now to this urgent petition to NBC Universal executives Jeff Zucker and Steve Burke:

1. Its so nice to know

Bigotry is alive and well in some communities. These people must be so proud. :sarcasm:


I guess one would have to think that if these people have issues with Gays, Lesbian, Bi and Trans Gender people, they also must have the same amount of issues with people of other Race, Religion, and with Women.

This is truly Ugly, America. Its time some people learned to grow up and find ways to get along with everyone else. One would think this would be covered in their Religion, but I guess its okay to cherry pick. If we can't get along with each other, how are we supposed to deal with the population on the rest of the planet?

2. That depends, will all the Republicans come out of the closet??

Faced with the eventual repeal of the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy on gays in the military, a group of current and former Republican lawmakers introduced their own proposal on Wednesday whereby gays would be allowed to serve in the military as long as they provide graphic details about their encounters. They call it “Don’t Ask, DO Tell.”

“I want to hear all their sordid tales,” said former Sen. Larry Craig. “I mean, where are they getting together? Are there any positions I’m not aware of? It’s time for gays to come out of the men’s rooms and give some pointers to those of us living in denial. When I think of all those buff military guys doing what comes unnaturally I just uh…. excuse me….. I gotta find a restroom.”

3. K & R

I've added my name to the petition for all the good it'll do.

Unfortunately, I think it is the media causing the downfall of America. The stupidity they spew is mind boggling.
