CHRISTIAN RIGHT ON GAY WITCH-HUNT — IS PURPLE THE NEW ‘RED’ ?

[Don Davis]

In an attempt to purge Congress of gay staffers, the Reverend Don “Wild Man” Wildmon is reviving memories of those good old days of the 1950’s Communist witch hunts. Is Wildmon the new Joe McCarthy? Is Purple the new Red?

Just as McCarthy brandished a so-called list of commies in the State Department, Wildmon claims to have a list of gay Congressional staffers who are responsible for gay budget deficits, gay pork barrel, and a gay foreign policy, since we haven’t bombed Iran, North Korea, or San Francisco.

For those not familiar with Rev. Wildmon, New York Times columnist Frank Rich, in a May, 2005 column, aptly captured the puerile, Nazi-like propaganda from the head of the American Family Association:

1. They are just doing what some on our side are already doing.

So who's worse for doing it?

2. Gays in congress control everything... except our policies toward gays

Was it Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert who said that?

4. She's a witch! "She turned me into a newt!....... It got better"

14.1.1. The Witch Scene
A group of village idiot types are attempting burn a woman that they claim to be witch. Sir Bedevere arrives on the scene, and asks them why. They first claim that she looks like a witch - and she points out that they dressed her up. The grudgingly admit this, and then make some more outrageous claims (one says that she turned him into a newt - though he later 'got better'). Sir Bedevere then talks them through the 'logic' for checking that she is a witch - and after some false turns and lots of dim stares, they come to the following basic conclusions.

Witches Burn. This one is fair enough - though the villagers suggest trying to actually burn her as way of testing this.
Wood Burns. Hence witches are made of wood. How do you check that she is made of wood? Try building a bridge out of her, one suggests - but Bedevere points out that you can also make bridges from stone.
Wood Floats. Bedevere gently leads them to this point, and asks them if they know anything else that floats.
Ducks Float. They actually have a lot of trouble thinking of something else that floats - and it is Arthur, who has just arrived on the scene, who says: 'A Duck!' (stunned amazement and dramatic music.)
Therefore... The logic goes: that if she weighs the same as a duck, she's a witch and they can burn her. So they put her on a set of scales with a duck, and of course she does weigh the same ('it's a fair cop').
