UPDATED VIDEO: Republican Lawmakers Ensure Silence = Death in Uganda

Michael Airhart December 04, 2009

Last night, Rachel Maddow aired an excellent 10-minute news segment about the Republican and evangelical leaders who, despite deep ties to Uganda, refuse to tell their close friends in the Ugandan leadership not to proceed with an antigay genocide and mass suppression of the families, doctors, and pastors of allegedly homosexual Ugandans.

The segment implicates Senators James Inhofe, R-Okla.; Sam Brownback, R-Kan.; Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla.; Sen. John Ensign, R-Nev., members of The Family, mega-evangelist Rick Warren, and others in silent complicity with genocide.

Wow. Just wow. We need to start making all these people responsible if this bill in Uganda goes through and GLBTQ people are imprisoned or judicially-murdered. This is being helped at very high levels in our government and we need to expose every nasty, dirty corner of those involved in this.

This just proves how empty the assurances are of Christians who say we don’t support violence against gays. That obligatory line means nothing, they’re happy to see it happen.
