419. As you said, 'muddleoftheroad'
As you said, "Campaign against them. Rally support against them, etc."

That's exactly what where doing here. We are campaigning against a HOMOPHOBIC HOMOSEXUAL. We are rallying support against a HOMOPHOBIC HOMOSEXUAL.

How? By telling the TRUTH about their hypocricy. Glad you support our approach (although you sometimes don't realize it, when you say that exposing hypocricy is somehow "Nazi-like").

You have to get over your knee-jerk reaction to protect this guy just because he's gay. He's not just gay - he's a HOMOPHOBIC HOMOSEXUAL. A plain ole homosexual might be deserving of your support and your concerns about privacy. A HOMOPHOBIC HOMOSEXUAL on the other hand, who is actively trying to DENY other homosexuals rights based solely on theiry "private lives", deserves to have the insonsistencies and hypocricies of HIS OWN private life scrutinized publicly.

You don't get a free pass just by being in an oppressed minority. If you're in an oppressed minority, and you're trying to BECOME an oppressor (of the the very minority to which you belong) then you're screwed up in the head and your hypocricy needs to be pointed out.

You're being overly "politically correct" 'muddleoftheroad'. Chill out! It's ok to be against a homosexual IF HE'S ALSO A HOMOPHOBE. We're not against his homosexuality. We're against his HOMOPHOBIA and his HYPOCRISY.

And please stop saying that the only thing we're allowed to do is VOTE against the guy. This is a free country and we're also allowed to TALK against him. If that's alright with you. It has generally been found that talking about candidates BEFORE the election is a useful approach. Please stop trying to say that the only thing we should do is VOTE against him. We can TALK against him too. It's a highly effective tool in a free society - TALKING about the candidates, disucssing their positions on issues. So please stop telling us we shouldn't TALK about this guy. HE'S the one who thinks homosexuality is a political issue that should be regulated. HE'S the one who cast the first stone. Hope you don't mind if we throw it back at him.
