and because in the la-la land of the right, it is the democrats who are some Persecuting Elite. i forget about that particular aspect of rightwing paranoia in the fabrication of al gore as Persecuting Other. a bad bad man who is associated with the bad bad man bill clinton. bad bad bad.
if you want to play this game, i suppose we could also talk about people like koch industries and the other deep pockets whose money explains the continued presence of conservative-specific anti-climate change nonsense and whose infrastructure explains the circulation of this particularly pathetic bit of conservative meme triage.
how is it that we are not being treated to stories about how the koch brothers dispose of their massive incomes in their private lives. o wait: the koch brothers and their ilk have no political interest in exposing themselves to scrutiny. they just want to buy the capacity to direct it at others when it serves some political advantage. no problem with that. there can't be a problem with that. the koch brothers are conservatives.

rb, this is how I see it. This isn't anything more than the conservatives saying anti-gay things and finding them with men. It's not much different than that.
