Blanche Lincoln has sent a letter to a constituent using vintage anti-gay talking points. She equated ENDA with "special rights." Weak. Very weak. From the Max Brantley at the Arkansas Times:
That doesn't sound good at all. It's pathetic actually.I'd missed this, but apparently Sen. Blanche Lincoln is indicating to constituents that she opposes legislation to bar discrimination in employment practices on account of sexual orientation and gender identity. In a letter to constituents, she indicates this would amount to a "special right." No, senator, the law would end a special and particularly invidious brand of discrimination. It's a sad addition to Lincoln's list of disappointing panders. Unlike her panders to the wealthy, which are merely about money, this one has a particularly hateful human toll.
