Gay Rights Group Files Complaint Over Tuesday's Text Messages

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Human Rights Campaign Wednesday called on federal authorities to launch an investigation into a Republican leaning telecommunications company at the heart of an anti-Obama text message controversy, charging the company had defrauded cellphone users who had received the messages.

Following a series of anti-Obama text messages received on Tuesday night — some of which addressed the president's record on LGBT issues — HRC, the nation's largest LGBT political group, asked the Federal Communications Commission to investigate the company,

The company, ccAdvertising, has not admitted to sending the messages. But the dummy sites used to send the messages were registered to company executives.

Additionally, one of those executives — Gabe Joseph — is known for using questionable tactics, according to Republican operatives familiar with his past activities.

to what is either the profound ir-rationality or utter dishonesty of that message and I'm going to go with dishonesty because it is ccAdvertising who is guilty of FORCING themselves into other people's lives, not President Obama.

No one is forcing ccAdvertising to do anything, but they intend to force themselves into the private lives of millions and millions of LGBT Americans. It's simply outrageous that they accuse others of doing what they are doing themselves and they expect to not only get away with it, but to also be rewarded in various ways for their crimes against people who are not coercing them or violating their rights in any way. Outrageous and un-acceptable!

Anyone that crazy couldn't survive, so I'm going to go with evil.
