You are obviously comparing homosexuality and bestiality, just by mentioning them together.

Same to you Andy as you just mentioned the two in a comment. So you clearly are a despicable person too. I hope you see the absurdity of your position.

And Michael, I think you are not quite correct in terms of religion vs. homosexuality. For example, female castration/genital mutilation is very much looked down upon in the West and voicing such an opinion probably wouldn't get one in much trouble, IMO. Sure wouldn't with me. That said however, I don't at all agree with Gen. Pace in regards to homosexuality. I have a hard time calling a consensual act between two adults immoral.

The Christian right would be demanding his head on a platter.

Hmmm. Interesting point.
Now, for the big money; which group, in the two scenarios described thusfar would be more successful in getting Bush to toss Pace under the bus?

Dr. Joyce is right that Pace has nothing to apologize for. These demands for apologies are tiresome indeed.

That having been said, Pace's personal opinion is the wrong one. People are often wrong, do they really need to make a public apology each and every time?

Think about this for just a moment; if he had come out strongly pro homosexual, and addressed it as being his personal moral position on the matter, how would it be now, with those demanding an apology from Pace? My guess is, they wouldn’t be heard from.

I’m glad to know you are not a fan of Michael Savage, a radio host with a listenership of over 6 million. His hatred for gay people is quite something, and his popularity is growing all the time.

Which has what to do with what? If you believe the nation is becoming less accepting of homosexuality then you're delusional.

Four-Star Homophobe Slanders Gay, Babykilling Troops...

Gen. Peter Pace’s bigoted remark that homosexual behavior is “immoral” was not only an obvious jab at John Edwards, but a Pattonesque slap in the faces of the 65,000 gay, babykilling troops who are currently slaughtering innocents in Iraq. Pace...

Nah. Nothing political going on here, huh?

Here we go again, the left preaching tolerance, while DEMANDING the blood of anyone who disagrees with them!
Coercion and domination prove once again to be the engines of social change.Conformity, as always, at gun point!
Who are the real hypocrites Mr. legion?

As I said James, we're not there yet but you can be certain in the America Dobson envisions there will be no 'Will and Grace'. My point is that every totalitarian state needs a scapegoat- pre-2nd world war Germany and today's Saudi Arabia. The Christian Right's fixation with gay people and their lifestyle echos this to such an extent that we would be foolish to dismiss it out of hand. Millions of jews stayed on in Germany believing their fellow country men would come to their senses. Anything else was unimaginable. Lets imagine.

First they came for the gays…

Other than in your paranoid fantasies, who's coming for gays?

It strikes me that in today’s America, particularly on the right, gay men and women have come to occupy the same place jews occupy in the middle east, everyone’s hate figures, out to destroy the healthy heart of a functioning society.

Huh? Really?

Is there a Middle Eastern "Will and Grace" with Jews?

Edwards looks gay so he's suspect, his motives ulterior and yes, at the end of the day, perhaps evil (jews want to drink our children's blood and gays to corrupt and groom them).

While most of us shake our heads in bewilderment when we hear the likes of Dobson, Perkins, Savage, Coulter, Limbaugh, and others spout their hate, they all have large followings as well as significant influence in the halls of power. They may not be there yet, but we have a fair idea of where they would like to take America, and its not good.

First they came for the gays...
