Easy way to get the RW "patriots" to turn against the TSA groping and scanners.
Just advise them that statistically, there is a 10% chance that the same-sex TSA agent looking at naked bodies or running hands over "the junk" is actually gay! That should scare the shit out of the RW idiots.

Personally, I fully support the GLBT community and this isn't in any way intended as a slur. But I doubt the matter has crossed the minds of those who live and breathe FOX Noise. As for myself, I put it in the same category with DADT - they're professionals and their sexual preferences are irrelevant to the job. You'll have very professional and totally unprofessional people and their sexual orientation doesn't matter. I'm concerned with what TSA is doing to children - THAT'S disturbing!

1. Most of them seem to be against the TSA anyway, though they see complaining about it as an attack
on Obama.

Anything that can bring down any part of the American empire is good from where I sit. Let's use the baggers just like the GOP does - they are stupid enough to fall for anything.

3. I'm sure those homophobes are way ahead of you on that point
they merely hesitate on how to roll it out as a steamroller without giving libs something WE want.

7. As pointed out up-thread
The conservatives aren't very keen on the idea either.

This is one of those issues where both sides of the spectrum meet in the middle.

11. Frankly, a lot of them would let ANYONE feel up a kid if you scare them with the word "terrists".
You have to say it in the shrub's misarticularified terms and fake Texahegian accent.

12. Wouldn't that just lead them to demand that TSA root out and fire any gay employees?

13. Frankly, I'd rather have an openly and overt gay man frisk me than a Nazi sort.
I'd trust him more. But yes, I guess there is that danger of persecution within the ranks. Perhaps this was a bad idea.

14. Right wingers are fine with it as long as it is applied to brown people
They just think it should not be them. Everyone call tell they aren't terrorists, see? They are ordinary Amurkans. It's them Arabs that need groping. It is self evident to them.
