The compromise isn’t great, but it’s a step in the right direction, and I feel more comfortable with it with Patrick Murphy leading the way. Before the interview, Rachel points out how stupid and disingenuous it is that extremist right-wingers keep framing DADT repeal as something fringe or liberal, considering the fact that 75% of Americans support it. The 25% who still support DADT are, perhaps not coincidentally, also the 25% of Americans who would most benefit from protective helmets.

You’re way behind. Check the gay blogs. Mullen now says the “compromise” means he can kill the attempt to end the ban. Barack Obama is a manipulative liar.

Yeah, that just came through on my Google Reader, but I’m not going all Firebagger about it yet.
