Anti-gay group blasts Log Cabin leader

(Washington) The conservative Americans for Truth About Homosexuality is demanding the Republican Party reprimand Jamie Ensley, the president of the Georgia Log Cabin Republicans for calling the AFTAH a “radical Christian domestic terrorist group” and comparing it to Nazis.

Ensley made the remarks in a letter to Michael Steele, the new Chair of the Republican Party, urging him to ignore an AFTAH call to abandon his belief the GOP needs to be a “big tent” that includes gays.

After its trouncing at the polls in November, the party has been searching for a new beginning. Steele has said the GOP needs to have a broader base.

In a February 12 letter to Steele, AFTAH president Peter LaBarbera said the party needs to concentrate on its “grassroots pro-family conservative GOP base.”

1. sounds like

AFTAH is calling for a much smaller, more exclusive tent. Wonder if they'll take their toys and go home if the GOP doesn't comply? Either way, the Republicans become a narrower, less inclusive party.

2. Ensley is right.

If Michael Steele was smart, he would listen
to him.

3. Gay Republicans = Black KKK members eom

5. That's the way I've always seen it. nt

4. Who knew ANY Log Cabin Repub actually had a spine when it comes to LGBT issues?

Ensley is right and needs to say stuff like this often and loudly.

6. Hmm...

A Log Cabin Republican who actually stands up for gay people. That's a surprise...not enough to make me jump off the Democratic ship (I sure wouldn't ever jump in that direction if I ever did jump ship), but still...a surprise. This could get interesting. :popcorn:

8. Yep....

will definitely stay tuned.:popcorn:

9. bwa ha ha haha hahahahaha

is there such a thing as a gay republican? I think there are probably more unicorns.

Actually I'm guessing there aren't a lot of republicans who are gay that are getting any, and sex between republicans is an oxymoron anyway. What do they do behind closed doors, pull it out and ask for a tax break?

11. Naw - don't forget, they take a wide stance on these issues.

13. zOMG

"What do they do behind closed doors, pull it out and ask for a tax break?"

:rofl:

[Ioo]

10. Please go with the "grassroots pro-family conservative GOP base."

Because that is a great win for us... Run with it... go....

12. I don't have any sympathy for gay people who align themselves

with Republicans.

I agree with the comment about AFTAH, naturally, but Ensley is out of his mind if he thinks the GOP is a big tent.

They hates teh gays. Everyone knows that.

14. People in glass houses

Shouldn't throw stones.

"The Bible indicates that there are dark days ahead as the world as we know it comes to a close. But it also tells us not to try to predict when Jesus is coming back. Some Christians opt to abandon the “Culture Wars” because they presume that these are the end times (in the immediate future). But imagine how the Christians must have felt in Germany when Hitler was taking over and when the Nazis began their awful genocide against the Jews and other peoples! It was wrong then for Christians to become disengaged from politics and culture – and it had devastating consequences -- and it is wrong today."


That being said, LaBarbera is a lying hate-monger who has no business whining about anything. The very fact that he calls his "group" (which seems to be comprised of himself, the cameras he uses to take pictures of naked men, and his keyboard) Americans for Truth is such a perversion of facts he should hang his head in shame.

15. This is how far they have gotten begging to keep the rabid right out of their party politics.

That says is all. :eyes:

I mean really? That's what they're working on? Now that's progress. :sarcasm:
