Dutch fury at US general's gay theory over Srebrenica

I'm not SAYING every conservative is a bigoted homophobe, but don't you think it's interesting that they all hate gays?

We have two conservatives on this board who are gay. Those generalities are simply not safe to make.
 
The man is asked to testify. He testifies the truth as he knows it...and gets criticized. None as blind as those who refuse to see.

I don't think most of us are criticizing the general, but are criticizing his testimony, which is based on unsupported hearsay and is in opposition to the actual study done on the event.

I think this happens quite alot actually, I believe many who testify to the truth (ala Petreaus and military leadership coming back to Congress to report on the Iraqi surge) are criticized and personally attacked. I think you look at all the information you're receiving.....objectively...and then make your decision. The whining and criticism if you don't like some of the testimony you hear becomes political and thus petty. Let's all be big boys and girls, ignore cries of hatred and discrimination and look objectively at the ramifications of this action using any and all information. Agreed?

The problem with his testimony is the nature of it, not the side he is on.
 
Let's listen to him objectively rather than kneejerking into the usual political poppycock, agreed?

His testimony is unsupported, and is in direct conflict with the actual investigation into the events he testified in. This is not a kneejerk reaction.

Oh yeah, that's me...I just hate those gay people so much. Someone should let my boyfriend know.

That probably won't faze him. Just don't tell your boyfriend you're a conservative. :mrgreen:

And he has a mad crush on Palin to boot. According to some, a conservative gay is self hating or just stupid, but I have not seen that from Jallman or our other gay conservative(who does not post enough these days). I get a lot of crap from those on the left at times since I support the concept of gay conservatives, but I think that it is important that we realize that gays are people first, with gay just being an aspect of that person, and does not define who they are.
