Conservative insurrectionary, David Horowitz, goes after Gary Bauer et al for their hostility to gay dignity. Money quote:
In what the Washington Times described as a “stormy session” last week, the Rev. Lou Sheldon, Paul Weyrich, Gary Bauer and eight other “social conservatives” read the riot act to RNC chairman Marc Racicot for meeting with the “Human Rights Campaign,” a group promoting legal protections for homosexuals. This indiscretion, they said, “could put Bush’s entire re-election campaign in jeopardy.” According to the Times’ report by Ralph Hallow, the RNC chairman defended himself by saying, “You people don’t want me to meet with other folks, but I meet with anybody and everybody.” To this Gary Bauer retorted, “That can’t be true because you surely would not meet with the leaders of the Ku Klux Klan.” Nice analogy Gary. Way to love thy neighbor.
Couldn’t put it better myself. But for Bauer, gay people are the equivalent of the KKK. A central tenet of his political message is not Christianity as represented in the Gospels, but the use of Christianity for purely political ends.
