Homon Raus!
James Dobson: "Gays will destroy the world."
I'm sorry about having to say this. I know it violates all laws of proper debate, but it has become obvious: Dobson and his ilk are Nazis. There. Fuck Godwin's Law.
I'm sorry, but I don't see how you can put yourself in the right when you continually tar a subgroup of society with a broad brush. It was disgusting when the Nazis spread propaganda saying that Jewish men would molest children; what makes it less disgusting when Pat Robertson says it? D.W. Griffith's Birth of a Nation stirred outrage when it portrayed black men as sexually wild, and yet the Concerned Women for America swear up and down that all gay men are promiscuous.
They are not using facts; they are not using data; they are not using history. They are using fear.
We can't let them win. We must bring logic back into the public sphere. Shout down their dirty lies with logic, and break their arguments with the truth.
