345. what a freakin cop out
we have here at DU a teacher who feels his position is vunerable because he is gay. you think he's unique? i know a guy who taught a sweated the fear that he'd be outted. that's two. you think they are unique?

bullshit...there are thousands of people who percieve there occupations at risk of attack because of their orientation.

a public outing of a repub by a dem will backsplatter and anyone who doubts that is living in a dream world.

for every action there is a reaction. it's easy for someone who doesn't live under that particular threat to be casual about the
reaction but it's pretty callous for them to ignore the risks they expose others to.

and to what end....i keep asking....what glorious new dawn of enlightenment will be born out of outting a republican congreesman.

will it get bush out of the whitehouse? return the house and senate to our hands? rid the world of phelps and his minions?

no

the only thing it will do is legitimize outing anyone who anyone else perc0eives as an enemy or a threat.

what a wonderful world it will be...again....because that's the way it used to be and i have no clue what motivates people who delude themselves into thinking some sort of kick ass attitude won't bring all that crap back on us.
