(35,956 posts)The recap so far is you try to defend a RW extremist Muslim-hating Canadian politican by mentioning he's gay. My reponse is so what? That's got nothing to do with him being a fucking bigoted RW piece of crap. You make some bizarre claim that LGBT rights are the sole litmus test and make an incredibly telling comment about how little respect you have for women's rights. I point out the bleeding obvious that the human rights of one group can't be placed above all others and give you examples. You say yr leaving (again) and huff a bit about *me* (wtf?) diverting the thread by talking about LGBT issues. Then you swiftly return when someone who clearly has difficulty comphrending the concept of human rights blunders in to agree with you...
But I know what you mean about seeing weird things on a left wing progressive site such as DU. Why, back at DU2, I remember the time someone insisted that saying that they hate Muslims isn't Islamophobic at all. Pretty disgusting that bigotry like that show it's face at DU...
