23. It might be good to give them enough rope. I was shocked, and I knew.
Seriously, I knew all about godhatesfags and all that insane evil. And I was still shocked, amazed that she is so clueless that she let that out on the air.

The thing is, homophobia is unfortunately widespread and tolerated in our society. So the Phelpses get away with their homo-bashing. But this anti-semitic support for the holocaust, this goes beyond almost everyone's pale, this is so outrageous it could show people that the homo-bashing is wrong too.

But anti-semitism is not tolerated, and supporting the holocaust is not tolerated. By publicly combining her message of homophobia with naziism and genocide, she may be doing our job for us.

After all, most conservatives would reject the notion that homophobia is as bad as anti-semitism, that it is equivalent to the holocaust. Yet here is america's most outspoken homo-hater, combining her message of hating homos with hating jews and supporting the holocaust. This actually underlines our message, that hating homos is as bad as anti-semitism.
