In fact the vast majority of Republicans, Catholics or evangelicals deny the existence of gays. Neither do they support persecution or execution of gays. No idea why “Republicans” are in this list in any case: it’s like saying “If horses, Irish and other Celts want to jump high, they have some work to do at home first.

Pesonally I find it fascinating that the “left” are

a) defensive of Mr Ahmadi Nejad and at the same time
b) imply that he is “right”.

Daily Kos authors were ever so upset that Mr Nejad wasn’t made feel welcome enough in the States…

In fact he is a typical left-wing populist who is using socialist economic model combined with racial, religious and homophobic populist hate as his political tools. No different from the Soviets.

It’s exactly the same. The fact that homosexuals are actually executed in Iran amounts to nothing. Show me a leftwinger and I’ll show you an idiot.

Y’know…it just occurred to me that every fundamentalist I know would agree with you. The irony is that they would all think you were talkin’ about the other guy…
