Yesterday was a big day for the intersection between politics and gayness! In this report, Rachel covers it all, from crazy John Sheehan just cold lying and saying that the Srebrenica genocide was caused by gays in the Dutch military (by the way, the Dutch are PISSED — see below the video), to Dan Choi and Jim Pietrangelo handcuffing themselves to the White House fence to protest DADT, to the GetEQUAL sit-in at Pelosi’s office over their seeming inability to get anything done on ENDA. It’s all here in this clip, in case you were sleeping yesterday.

Okay, so here’s what the Dutch had to say about known moron John Sheehan, via Joe.My.God:
“The remarks were outrageous, wrong and beneath contempt,” [Dutch Prime Minister Jan Peter] Balkenende told a news conference. The Dutch Defense Ministry called Sheehan’s claims “absolute nonsense” and added that gay Dutch soldiers routinely cooperate with the U.S. military in the NATO mission in Afghanistan. Foreign Minister Maxime Verhagen called the claim “the bizarre private opinion of someone without an official function”. Renee Jones-Bos, the Dutch ambassador to the United States, said in a statement, “I couldn’t disagree more” with Sheehan, adding there was no evidence of his claims in the extensive record of research on Srebrenica. Military unions were equally angry. Dutch news agency ANP quoted the head of the military union AFMP as saying Sheehan’s comments were “out of the realm of fiction”, while the head of the gay soldiers’ group SHK called his comments “the ridiculous convulsion of a loner”.
OOOH. “The bizarre private opinion of someone without an official function.” “The ridiculous convulsion of a loner.” I thought I could snark, but I have to go take lessons from the Dutch!

I wonder why radical anti-gay activists always have to resort to lying in order to promote the immoral anti-gay agenda? They almost always claim to be Christian, yet they are either committing adultery or lying? Real Christians don’t lie or commit adultery.
“Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord.” (Proverbs 12:22)
I swear if Jesus were to return to Earth and see what these people are doing in his name. I’m sure he would strike them dead in a heartbeat.
ha ha i liked what you said about learning how to snark from the Dutch. They certainly do know how to give shade!
Michael, the reason they resort to lying so often is twofold:
1. They have no credible, reasoned, HONEST arguments to put forth.
2. It works, because most of their support comes from people who are too trusting to question them, or too lazy to fact-check, or both.
