Nasty Naughty Senator
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.
