      When will people (republican elected officals) stop enabling these witch trials put on by Beck, Hannity and Limbaugh. The White House has every right to be concerned about how these so-called journalist are becoming too powerful. Obviously, they will spread any and all lies to get their "witch".

      There are student-run gay associations in the high schools in my district. These gay students are not rounding up all the hetero-sexual students and "recruiting" them. I haven't seen any evidence of any agenda going on.

      GOP - Just what IS this "gay agenda"?

      Is it the same type of ill-defined, boogie-man nonsense scare tactics the right-wingers use all the time? First, it was "the communists", then it was "the terrorists", now it's "the gay agenda"! OOOOOOO! Look out! There's one behind that tree over there! Gaaaahhhh!

      Sounds silly, doesn't it?

      By the way...

      I still haven't heard back from you right-wingers on just how gay marriage will harm my marriage. You say things, but you never back it up with evidence.

      The GOP - the party of the stupid.

        I've heard Wanda Sykes said that if you want to protect marriage why not outlaw divorce? Of course, then the murder rates would go up but manage will be protected.

          No divorce, but one hell of a way to invoke that "till death do us part" clause!

      As a gay, black Republican how can Jonathan Capehart tolerate the anti-gay sentiments of the Republican Party?

            So, the Republicans (the "moral values" folks) are faced with a choice:

            "No servant can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon."

            Matthew 6:24.

            Or, maybe they have found a way to serve both.

              After last night, it was revealed the oldman Bush labeled both Maddow and Olbermann as some kind of lunatic fringe, thus possibly revealing the true leader of the party,the elder Bush, operating from the shadows with Ailes and possibly Rove. the Becks and the Limbaugh's are just usefull parasites.

      I'm not sure I'd use the word "ironic." Completely "expected" would be more like it. Trashing an Obama appointee who also happens to be gay is a two-for-one as far as the troglodyte right is concerned.

      He wants students to be safe - gay and straight. Because he helped one gay student be safe, and he kept that kid's privacy intact, he is being hounded. I would call that ironic.
