Boehner hosts mtg. on Russian `best practices` for raping gays, force-feeding watermelon to blacks

Republican US House Speaker John Boehner’s office hosted a meeting today in the US House of Representatives to learn Russia’s and Uganda’s “best practices” for terrorizing their gay and, more generally, minority populations.

The meeting by the World Congress of Families was originally set to take place in the US Senate, until Republican Senator Mark Kirk of Illinois intervened last night and canceled the Senate-provided meeting space.

Speaker Boehner then, this morning, offered the anti-gay anti-gay groups meeting space in the US House under his auspices, so that Americans can hopefully someday import the Russian and Ugandan way of dealing with, as the group’s spokesman put it, “the policies of decline, death and disease promoted by the Sexual Radicals.”....

And while it’s great that Republican Senator Mark Kirk is really the hero of this story, Mark Kirk doesn’t run the Republican party. Hateful, intolerant, bigots like John Boehner, Mitch McConnell, and Ted Cruz run the Republican party. And there’s no indication of that changing anytime soon.

Boehner did indeed get meeting space for an anti-gay group, but the Russian and Ugandan material was added by the author.
