Rachel Maddow did a long, impassioned piece on the "religious liberty" conference held last weekend. Somehow most of the media doesn't think it's news that three GOP candidates attended an event where the clearly unhinged organizer called for the execution of gays and lesbiansâincluding their colleagues Anderson Cooper, Rachel Maddow, Shep Smith, Frank Bruni, et al.

Last night Rachel Maddow became the first (and sheâll likely be the only) mainstream media journalist to report extensively on the GOP âdeath to gaysâ conference held over the weekend.
