Thanks for posting a link to my post Ahab. Much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteReason Being -- No problem!
DeleteI guess we can argue that although it was predictable that the FRC would blame the left for the shooting that occurred there, at least we can be sure of one thing. It takes a terrorist organization to think they know one.
ReplyDeleteSherry -- I think the FRC and other Religious Right groups have been squandering any goodwill they're received with their rhetoric.
DeleteThe RRRW is playing this shooting for all it's worth, and whining that "the left" and "the gays" aren't doing enough to denounce the event (while dozens of gay, atheist and other organizations made statements doing so immediately after it hit the news). How many of them decry the 1,500+ hate crimes against LGBT people every year?
ReplyDeleteBuffy -- Just once, I'd like to see the Religious Right show the same sensitivity and even-mindedness toward a homophobic hate crime that LGBTQ voices have shown toward this shooting.
