While most of us were busy going on with our lives, Markos Moulitsas was trying to think of a way to use the news to smear conservatives. This is what he came up with:

@Matthops82 Clearly you must have some sort of evidence to back up this bold claim, @markos.

Exactly.

@markos Banning gays and smearing a whole party with no evidence are both reprehensible. Please make a note of it.

Yes, Markos. Please do. Jerk.
