We need to link up common cause with Jews and blacks
I've documented how they've gone after us and after blacks. Now it looks like the right wing are targeting Jews in a manner that's just as horrifying as their stuff on gays:

I'm not going to retype or repost excerpts from that stuff because it's Christmas here in the UK and I tire of the right wing's hatred. Be forewarned, it's a list of old stuff that Henry Ford said as well as the modern shit being spewed by O'Reilly, Donahue (William, not Phil), David Duke, and other Republican party leaders.

We need to figure out a way to link up and fight this Republican antisemitism, homophobia and racism, because as usual, the Democrats aren't doing diddly-squat about it.

1. Why not include other ethnic groups? The two you cite are well organized
and aggressively defend their rights but groups like Native Americans and Hispanics are ignored. :shrug:

2. Everyone should be welcome
I have just noted the two non-GLBT groups as examples of groups that are being openly targeted for hate campaigns by the right wing right at this moment.

3. If we do that,
then Alan Keyes will criticize us.

5. Blacks have a lot of Homophobia to deal with
many can't/won't see any similarities in our causes, and are insulted by it. I blame their baptist churches. I must say their political sense is fine tuned, however.
