Mark dutifully jumps on CNN's side (it isn't FOX after all), and declares his contempt and horror at these shameful disgraces to the Christian name, explaining it's their example that validates the hatred for Christians that Jesus spoke of all those years ago. Several jump on the thread to express their own contempt and hatred for such bigoted scum who blaspheme The Issue. Some try to resist, most maybe, but the resistance is half-hearted. Those spewing Jack Chick style loathing upon the congregation in question have absolute morality on their side, while those trying to balance the issue and look at all sides are steamrolled.
Expect more of the same. There are three ways one can deal with the rise perhaps the greatest threat to Orthodox Christianity since Arianism: we can resist, we can change our faith and accept it, or we can do this - throw each other to the wolves in the hope that we'll be the ones the New Order thinks is swell and awesome enough to leave alone.
"And listen, Gandalf, my old friend and helper!" he said, coming near and speaking new in a softer voice. "I said we, for we it may be, if you will join with me. A new Power is rising. Against it the old allies and policies will not avail us at all. There is no hope left in elves or dying Numenor. This then is the one choice before you, before us. We may join with that Power. It would be wise, Gandalf. There is hope that way. Its victory is at hand, and there will be rich reward for those that aided it."
