Your interpretive skills being somewhat, shall we say, challenged, I'll leave it to Dennis to say whether gay bashing has occurred here. I don't think so, but admittedly, I'm not sensitized to the issue as some others here may be. If there's a charge of gay bashing, a post would be helpful. OTOH, Christian bashing is your hobby. Cut it out.

Unfortunately I don't have much time Michelle, my PM is overflowing, but very quickly...It looks to me like whenever people disagree with the agenda of gay causes the terms "hate" and "bashing" are always tossed out very quickly. It's simply rhetoric in my eyes, and meant to shut down and label anyone willing to openly disagree with the PC gay agenda. Even Dennis had to resort to calling future President Bush a promoter of hate against gays because he dared to disagree with the homosexual cause of same sex marriages. The liberal maintream media have pretty much drummed this PC concept into the electorate with their 5.7 second sound bites. I also thought it predictable that the same people who believe labelling something a "hate crime" is tantamount to ending or preventing the act of violence. Would go to such great lengths and rationalize any reason under the sun to not refer to the recent anti-christian shootings as being (even remotely) a hate crime. That clearly demonstrated to me the motivation behind the term "hate crime" is solely political and not based on a real desire to reduce violence toward all people. I love homosexual people as much as I do christians, Jews or blacks and if I felt calling something a "hate crime" would prevent or halt these senseless violent acts, I would say so across the board and not be so politically selective. It's really sad, but it appears liberals on this thread don't share that sentiment. Michael
