Gay Bashing GOP

Republicans have been blocking anti-hate crime laws in the Congress for years now. Most recently, House leaders blocked another one last week, when, even though a House resolution instructed them to pass it, DeLay and Hastert stripped the provision from the omnibus bill it was attached to.

So why is everyone and their Republican mother up in arms about Kerry's comment about Mary Cheney?

Wow, it's so unrefreshing to hear everyone obsessing about Kerry's comment about Mary Cheney. Looks like someone hit a soft spot for Dick and the dignity of all homophobes, which is sadly a large part of our population. Of course it is this huge shame and as Media Matters points out, people such as our lovely Rush Limbaugh (and others) have equated lesbianism to abortion, adultery, alcoholism, and obesity. It's a pure embarassment and the fact that a great number of people are so homophobic means that they are appalled at someone bringing up such an atrosity in a public debate. Not to mention, it must have felt like a complete cheap shot. Sadly, it is not surprising that they are all flipping out about it. Plus, what better than to divert the attention of the undecided homophobes.
