Re: Irony in a Chicken Sandwich
I really think turning this thread into a guessing game for PJs sexual orientation is pretty tacky, be it kidding or not. I realize we all poke fun at each other in various sexual ways and use lots of gay undertones in our exchanges, but I just don't think it belongs in this particular thread.
@PJ
You are right. I am minimalizing it in terms of CONUS. It's not misinformation, it's apathy and amusement. While there are definitive cases of right and wrong in this entire ordeal, the sky is, in fact, not falling in the good ole USA, and the comparison of the gay rights movement to the black civil rights movement I happen to find absurd. These people may very well engage in "off the record" condoning of violence behind closed doors, and until it becomes public, it is just that: off the record. It amounts to nothing more than accusations of old white guys in a cigar smoke filled room planning to invade Iraq for the oil. Show us the proof, and we shut them down. Until then, it is politic as usual, so get in line. Picking on vulnerable people is disgusting and a shame. But it is far from an epidemic, and even if it were an epidemic, the FRC is not the only one fanning the flame. Homophobia goes far beyond a person being Christian.
Suggesting that this group is like the KKK is a stretch. Talk all you want about "times are a changin" and that the lynches now are symbolic, not literal. We can apply that standard to virtually everything, and many people do, which is why we get Godwin. Using this rationale I would assume that you are a "constitution as a living document" type of guy, which I would havenever taken you for.
The examples of hateful people I gave go beyond "saying" things about people. You said it yourself: actions go beyond words. Yet they continued to get re elected in the face of terrible things said and done. Over and over again. politics as usual. You say you do not understand the link, while I think I make myself fairly clear. People pick their fights, and I do not understand outrage when the left hand does something but not when it's the right hand. I do't get it. Nut maybe I just think too broadly, like when I pointed out that feminist anti-porn advocates use an argument that defeats their own arguments for abortion-on-demand. No one saw the humor but me. Whatevs
All I am doing is trying to apply the same standards to this little scandal as I do everything else. Just because I am rooting for your side to win, does not mean that when people blow hot air out of their butts that I have to treat it like top-shelf perfume.

WE MUST STOP THE GAY VIOLENCE AGAINST THE CHRISTIANS
Re: Irony in a Chicken Sandwich
The authorities obviously dropped the ball on this.
The Question is Did he buy all 15 sandwiches at once, or did he spread it out over time as not to raise suspicion????

I disagree with your politics, but excuse me will I enrich you donors. ~:rolleyes:

I have a suspicion that everyone is coming over to McDonalds ordering a McChicken from me instead of supporting Chick-fil-a.
Re: Irony in a Chicken Sandwich
Well this is interesting. Apparently the FRC's Tony Perkins has long-standing ties with David Duke.

In 1996, while managing the U.S. Senate campaign of Woody Jenkins against Mary Landrieu, Perkins paid $82,500 to use the mailing list of former Klan chieftain David Duke. The campaign was fined $3,000 (reduced from $82,500) after Perkins and Jenkins filed false disclosure forms in a bid to hide their link to Duke. Five years later, on May 17, 2001, Perkins gave a speech to the Louisiana chapter of the Council of Conservative Citizens (CCC), a white supremacist group that has described black people as a “retrograde species of humanity.” Perkins claimed not to know the group’s ideology at the time, but it had been widely publicized in Louisiana and the nation, because in 1999 — two years before Perkins’ speech to the CCC — Republican House Speaker Trent Lott had been embroiled in a national scandal over his ties to the group. GOP chairman Jim Nicholson then urged Republicans to avoid the CCC because of its “racist views.”
