Perhaps he changed his ways and now sees homosexuality for the utter perversion of humanity that it is. He seems to go through frequent raptures...he has railed against drug abusers too...particularly white ones. Al

You use Ann Coulter as a reference? Her revisionist history is now legendary, as are the wholesale book purchases by organizations to pump up sales. It carries the same weight as the other mean-spirited slander by Coulter et al, except she goes further and offers to suggest killing liberals, or killing others to scare liberals (her imaginary version of liberals, that is), and to invade any countries we wish, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity. She wishes, in this case, to invade Muslim countries, but, like the Bush/Neocon axis, doesn't limit herself to Iraq or Yemen. "We need proof", is nonsense according the Limbaugh/Coulter/Rove school of broadcasting, only the emotional power of the slander is important, such as the Clinton-haters talking of murder and Hillary being a lesbian or whatever they can think up. That's what makes this particular story "poetic justice"... They've sown the wind, and will reap the whirlwind. As far as rape stories being "eerily similar", no doubt. The talking points from the Rove machine to the GOP faithful make sure that all anti-Dem stories are eerily similar, regardless of whether there was any truth involved, take any recent story about going into Iraq, "Mission Accomplished", or anything else that turns out to be false. There is certainly a big problem, but that is showing itself in daily facts. Stories like Limbaugh's are likely the polemic tip of the more serious iceburg, and attempts like this one only encourage more serious journalists and filmmakers to tell their stories news.independent.co.uk The worm is turning
