Tea Party Nation's Anti-Gay Campaign Continues, Group Likens Gays To Drug Addicts
http://www.rightwingwatch.org/conte...aign-continues-group-likens-gays-drug-addicts

On Friday we reported on the anti-gay diatribe by Tea Party Nation’s Alan Caruba, who asserted that “the queering of America” is “one more factor in the destruction of America.” The tea party group is now pushing another attack on gays and lesbians, this time from Rich Swier, an activist with TPN and the anti-Muslim group ACT! For America, who previously warned that the U.S. is facing white “extinction.” In a post sent to TPN members, Swier rails against a Florida group that introduced an anti-bullying initiative, arguing that being gay is just like being a drug addict and that the bullying of LGBT youth is a “sham,” because “this is not bullying. It is peer pressure and is healthy”:

Problem #1: Putting faith in what the tea party states.

Hopefully.

Remember when the Tea Party said it was all about fiscal responsibility and there was no way they were about conservative moral issues?

Me neither.

I just can't understand how so many people can support them. What a pointless hateful group.

Hateful groups can't have a point?

. Certainly they have a point - everyone of them. It sits at the top of what encompasses their primitive pea brains and serves largely to keep the pointy top of their little klanklown robes straight and rigid. Also reduces the effort as they form themselves into human centipedes.

It was only a matter of time before the reactionary, anti-intellectual subset of Americans broke off and formed its own wing.

Me, I look on the bright side. Now it'll be easier to round them all up and launch them into the sun.

You know, latching onto cultural identity kicking and screaming all the way, while not a great evil...is a "great stupid act" that even as a white guy I feel embarrassed. I'd rather wear a Dashiki every day of my life than be associated in skin to these bigoted nuts.

Cue the No True Scotsman fallacies.

No False Scotsman would ever beat his wife. Therefore, if he calls himself a Scotsman, and he beats his wife, he must be a True Scotsman.

You mean like that?

Its not that they are hateful...but...I'm gonna quote Bill Maher (to the best of my memory)

"I'm not against Palin or Bachman or the Tea Party because of what they stand for. I'm against them because I'm against stupidity."

Ever notice that natural disasters have been hitting all the red states?? Methinks god is not happy with them!

I can't believe any large group believes this.
I think this is Liberal propaganda rubbish.

It is much easier to find faults in Liberal Progressive Radio rants.
So when we find one guy on the Right who is off his rocker, the Left has to make a big deal of it as if the whole Neocon side is just like that one guy.

Ah but this logical view spoils your fun. Sorry about that.

Doesn't matter if it's the Tea Party or the ACLU, what he's saying is pure hate any way you slice it, and I am sure you agree with that. But he's a branded Tea Party member and I don't see any Tea Party members denouncing it but we'll see where it goes...

What is this "Liberal Progressive Radio' you speak of and dont you feel lonely being the only person in the country that is listening to it?

I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
