The right wing loves nothing better than gay-bashing. It brings them right back to their roots. And, they've unleashed a fury of hate-filled anti-gay rhetoric against Kevin Jennings, who works in the Obama administration. Rush, Hannity, Malkin -- all of them have joined in. They want another scalp and they'll stop at nothing to get one from Jennings. But, this time, they're crossing a line even for themselves. From Media Matters:
The latest target in the Glenn Beck-driven conservative media witch hunt for Obama administration "czars" is Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools director Kevin Jennings. In their attacks on Jennings, numerous conservative media figures have resorted to thinly veiled xenophobic appeals to paint Jennings, who is gay, as a "radical" "gay activist" with an "agenda" of "promoting homosexuality in schools," and have misrepresented or distorted Jennings' previous comments about religion and tolerance.Media Matters documents what's being said. It's like they're having a contest to see who can use the word "homosexual" in the most offensive manner.
We're keeping an eye on this one.
