The real shame behind the entire Senator Craig issue is how acceptable it still is to gay bash.  The Moral Majority, the Christian Coalition and other conservative pundits are all over the talking heads shows calling Senator Craig’s actions, “a moral failing”.

Mind you they aren’t talking about having sex in public, nope.  They are talking about being gay.  As the newest graduating class of Liberty University takes to the streets looking for jobs specifically designed to strips gays and lesbians of the civil rights (oddly enough in the name of upholding the civil rights of Christians), let’s all take a moment to reflect upon the coverage of the Craig scandal.  

The left is attacking him for being 99.44% pure hypocrite – and they are correct.  Craig is fighting what he considers moral demons to play at a pretend straight marriage.  And that would be fine in and of itself; but, he took it too far, he actually attempted to screw other gay people over with laws designed to strip them of the very rights afforded to every citizen in the US Constitution.

Being a hypocrite is harding BREAKING NEWS these days and the more concerning issue is the way the right is attacking Craig.  They are pure and simply gay bashing.  Questioning his morality not because he was a naughty boy in a public place, but because he is gay. 

The question as to if the Conservative Right Wing of American politics has any scruples has long ago been answered in the negative.  This for them is, however, a new low.

Have you seen it yet?  Its worth a watch because the Hott(sic) for Hill video is both fun and funny; but, it is difficult to say which is more entertaining the video or the conservative talk show hosts having an aneurysm over thinking a 22 year old lesbian from California is in love with Hillary!

It should come as no surprise the CMO (Conservative Media Outlets) are making a big deal out of this story.  It fits right into their agenda – keep the public scared and outraged.  This, of course, fits into the outraged category and the fact that the video is just a parody, well never mind that – just focus on the moral decay aspect of the story, right?

For the record, the woman in the video isn’t a lesbian, she a thespian making a parody of a parody.  Not an easy thing to do, but Taryn Southern did it well and hats off to her.   She’s a Hollywood actress that is looking for publicity not a lesbian trolling for Hillary booty; notice in the video when she hopes Hillary is “Bi” that the screen text says, “Bilingual”?

The CMO knows that the video is a parody, but chooses make-believe outrage over the truth. That politics is full of hypocrites should come as no surprise.  After all, this week’s activities were astounding with Mrs. Vitter saying she’s never been more proud and the Senate voting down a bill that would have supported our troops by guaranteeing troop “down” time.

Desperate to turn attention away from Republican failed policy in Iraq, the appalling lack of support for our troops, the CMO pulled out the last arrow in their quiver placed a poison called a lie on that arrow shot it at Hollywood.   Admittedly Hollywood is an easy target for so many reasons; but, why is it that the CMO hates Hollywood and California until it comes to Ronald Regan and Fred Thompson?

To the CMO: lighten up!  It was just a fun video making fun of the Obama video. Would that more people in our society were as clever, fun and entertaining as Ms Southern.  More importantly, wouldn’t it be nice if we could all take ourselves just a little less seriously and laugh?
