If pressed, they would probably be for placing pink triangles on all people caught engaging in "unnatural" conduct, or, at the least, having a public "sex offender" list, with "known homosexual" being their legal designation. Heil Hitler. Why is it that the religious right sees the military as their ground zero. We all know that there are many brands of religion that don't follow this path, but groups like FRC and Pat Robertson's still lend more than an air of credibility to Christopher Hitchens' constant diatribe about the natural alliance between religion and war. I think we ought to start calling people like Sprigg what they are: Ugandan "fellow-travelers" and fascists. Unbelievable.

Sprigg's comment a couple of years ago about the loss of able gay men from the military was 'they are expendable, we can replace them, other people will take their place'. I would love to know what for example, the employees of Cantor Fitzgerald, a company which lost 658 people on 9/11, might make of such evil nonsense. Well done Chris Matthews on exposing this - ask the same question of all of them. The very least that can be said of Mr LaBarbera and Mr Phelps is that their intentions are honest.
