What's with the Huckster and All the Anti-Gay Bigots Comparing Indiana to Saudi Arabia Lately?

I don't get it. Huckabee et. al. on all the news circuits, peddling the same talking points.

Are they trying to say that just because Saudi Arabia treats LGBT folks like shit that Americans should shut up about it when they (social conservatives) do it here?? Because "at least we're not as bad as those evil Muslins??"

Sure seems like they are setting the bar pretty low, and seem so "concerned" with anti-gay treatment abroad all of a sudden...

Either that or it's just one big Freudian slip as to their ultimate end-goals here...

The patriarchal *be glad at for you get* defense. It's disgusting.

It's not just patriarchal, it is incredibly condescending.

why shouldn't those in America who aren't nearly as bad in terms of the laws compared to the country of Saudi Arabia should get a pass too.

I think he sees other states pulling legislation - and wants to 'flip' the script (orwellian) to claim it isn't the law and bigotry making businesses wary - its that Indiana caved to militant gays!

Orwellian, right?
