Andrea Lafferty: ENDA will lead to the molestation of disabled veterans


The gay community has been accused of destroying civilizations, corrupting morals, and yes even molesting infants, but Andrea Lafferty of the Traditional Values Coalition has officially reached the zenith of homophobia with her new accusation - pro-gay laws will allow the VA to molest disabled veterans.

Lafferty's new line of craziness took place during the Freedom Federation's "Awakening" conference and it continued the same inaccurate line of attack she and her organization (the Traditional Values Coalition) have continued against the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) that Congress will possibly be voting on in the coming weeks.

ENDA would protect the lgbt community against employment discrimination. However, Lafferty and TVC have been pushing the phony assertion that ENDA would protect behaviors such as pedophilia, prostitution, bestiality. This video, courtesy of Right Wing Watch has to be seen to be believed. (the audio is not that good so turn up the volume on your computer):

Transcript:

Lafferty: What are those "isms" and "philias"? You can be aroused by stumps of amputees. And we brought that up during the hate crimes thing because what if you have an employee working at the VA and someone has just come back from Iraq and they have this orientation. You can't fire them. What about the family that's upset that they've been aroused by their family member? It's disgusting. And it's tragic for the victim.

Um, men that want to rub their bodies up and down women. That's on the list, that might become a protected class.

Fecal matter. Their involvement with fecal matter. Or urine. Transvestism. The list goes on, I'm not naming all of them. Children. Animals. And so we really need to draw a line in the sand.
..........(more)

1. WOW - wouldn't you like to record and playback her fantasies?
That is one seriously disturbed lady.

After reading the transcript I didn't have the guts to click on the video.

4. She has some pretty warped sexual fantasies of her own, doesn't she?
She seems to spend a lot of time thinking about them.
