WND's Farah Compares Gays To “Swinging” Adulterers

WorldNetDaily's Joseph Farah continues WND's anti-gay drumbeat, this time equating gays with “swinging adulterers”:

The corruption of the Conservative Political Action Conference, an important American political institution, is widespread.

Thanks to WND's reporting, we now see that it transcends the participation of the homosexual activist organization GOProud

Let me try to frame what is happening inside the conservative movement in a way that might sharpen our focus.

Let's pretend that some free-market-loving adulterers got together and formed an organization called “Swing Right.” This group says it supports a strong U.S. defense, but that the military should have no rules against promiscuous sex inside the ranks. The group says it supports free enterprise, but that tax policy should be revamped to create equity for those in the “swinging” lifestyle. The group says it supports limited government, but it approves of the intervention of federal judges in state referenda in which citizens approve of marriage as an institution between one man and one woman. The group also calls for special protections of the “swinging” community that will ensure adulterers will not be fired by their bosses because of their behavior and applauds hate-crimes laws to punish those who don't approve of their lifestyle.

Would it be appropriate for conservatives, who are supposed to be about conserving the vital institutions of self-government, to validate such a group's claims being part of the movement?

Immediately, some will suggest my analogy here is outrageous and ridiculous. Yet it is a near-perfect parallel to what CPAC and others in the conservative movement have done in their eagerness to build a bigger tent, to show how open-minded they are, to bring in more money and, perhaps, to make them more comfortable in their own spiritual void.

Equating gays and adulterers is a longstanding conservative slur. But considering the source, it could be mistaken for a sign of progress: Just last week, the folks at WND were equating gays and Nazis.
