One's Out and Another's Down and Out

Tim Hardaway, an ex-NBA player, proclaimed this past week that he hates gay people and that he is a homophobic and the NBA acted quickly:

"You know, I hate gay people, so I let it be known. I don't like gay people and I don't like to be around gay people," he said. "I'm homophobic. I don't like it. It shouldn't be in the world or in the United States."


This was in response to a question about another ex-NBA player, John Amaechi, who came out. Of course the anti-gay forces threw Hardaway to wolves:

"Hardaway's comments are both unfortunate and inappropriate," said Matt Barber, CWA's Policy Director for Cultural Issues {which concerned woman is he exactly?}. "They provide political fodder for those who wish to paint all opposition to the homosexual lifestyle as being rooted in 'hate.' It's important to note that Hardaway's words represent the feelings of Hardaway. His words do not represent the feelings of the vast majority of people opposed to the homosexual agenda. {has he ever read the Massresistance postings?}

1. CWA should teach everyone a lesson about the right wing
If it has "Women" in the title, you can bet all the policy is decided upon by men. If it has "Freedom" in the title, you can bet it's dedicated to relieving us of all our civil rights. If it has "Heritage" in the title, you can bet it's hell bent on destroying everything this country has ever stood for. If it has "Children" in the title, you can bet the rent that it's a front for laundering money into RNC campaign coffers.

Most people are fooled by all of the above.

2. Don't forget "family."
I run full tilt away from any group that has family in its name. (Actually, at my age with a bum knee, I don't run much--I'm speaking metaphorically.)

4. wow
you hit that one out of the ballpark too!

I wish that could be put on a flyer and air-dropped into conservative neighborhoods; it's like the cliffs notes for republican strategy.
