Everybody's Got Something To Hide

Except for Me and My Monkey!

We found this link via Atrios and found it, in the words of Martin Bashir, "very disturbing."

"The gay community has infiltrated the very centers of power in every area across this country, and they wield extreme power. ... That agenda is the greatest threat to our freedom that we face today. Why do you think we see the rationalization for abortion and multiple sexual partners? That's a gay agenda.'" - Tom Cobun, republican US Senate candidate from Oklahama, Oklahoma Gazette
Putting aside for a moment the possibility that Coburn was simply doing his best imitation of Hitler ranting about the Jews, take a good look at this man. He's the Republican Senate candidate from Oklahoma. He's also the man George W. Bush picked to head his presidential AIDS commission. Yes, this anti-gay nutjob was picked by our fearless leader to help decimate the government's attack on the AIDS epidemic.

The New York Times had a an article today about churches trying to get the vote out. Apparently opposition to abortion and gay marriage make George W. Bush a good christian. It also seems clear that according to the clergy featured in this article that opposing abortion and gay marriage are necessary and sufficient conditions for being a good christian. Once again proving that this country is no less crazy than many others.

Good post. So where are your links to sites where people can get involved once they see how important they are to policy decisions?
