Apparently Mr. Bush and several Congressional Republicans are beginning to take heed of recent threats from the religious right.
In a congressional election-year pitch to religious conservatives whose interests have been neglected in favor of far more pressing matters such as the war in Iraq, immigration, and the price of gasoline, President George W. Bush, in his weekly radio address, urged the Senate to pass the Federal Marriage Amendment, asserting that it is needed to prevent what he refers to as "activist judges" from overturning state legislation against same-sex marriage.…

"It is nice to see how you and the rest of the clan on BC equate every conservative who is anti-gay marriage with the guy's that dragged Matthew Shepard behing their pickup truck though. That's extremely insightful of you. Keep up the good work."
Well, with all due respect, every backwoods Conservative bigot who has contemplated "beating a fag" or actually inflicted verbal or physical violence shared in the murder of Matthew Shepard. All the militant fag bashers who have done their best to reduce gay people to dirt are part of the problem that led to his brutal murder. Personally, I'm at the point where I'd love nothing more than to hog tie a fag basher and drag him with my pickup truck through the desert. I won't do it because it is against the law and immoral.
"The GOP has been winning and Rove and Mehlman are in the closet. Is that not true? Please show me the interview where either men states their sexuality for the record."
Well, it's been my experience that self loathing closeted homosexuals are at the front of the line in promoting bigotry, intolerance and downright hatred. That being said, I pray to God that neither piece of human waste is gay in any way, shape or form. That may cause me to undergo shock therapy. Perhaps sheep would be the way to go.

Silas....
when's the last time you saw a conservative commentator on BC talking about how much they wanted to "beat a fag?" I don't recall ever seeing it.
Jet says
"You have a proven track record and everyone knows it."
When you're right you're right Jet. I genuinely abhor the far left in this nation and everything they stand for.

Silas, I'm not sure there's any evidence to suggest that fag-bashing bigots are necessarily politically conservative. Their political orientation and their homophobia are probably not all that closely related.

most people who would beat a homosexual are so dumb they probably can't read. but show me one person who identifies as liberal on this site who is "anti-gay," as bing puts it. then write down a list of those who are conservative. then think about what you just said. then realize that, since you are an editor, you should go ahead and edit your comment out of existence.
when someone (like the motherfuckin president) says something anti-gay, it just adds to the hatred felt towards homosexuals in this country. bush and his cronies are in a posistion of power and should realize that the things they do and say hurt people.

Gorge W. Bush doesn't hate gays. He could care less one way or the other. He knows that he needs his Conservative base in order to stay politically afloat. The Conservatives will be like rabid bats keeping him in power so long as he panders to their every whim. He's good at smokescreens. He's a good salesman. Don't count George out yet. He's got plenty of tricks up his sleeve and Karl Rove kneeling in front of his fly.
