WorldNutDaily does more spinning than a dervish on Uganda's "kill the gays" bill

[ck4829]

Molotov Mitchell has issues with the mere existence of homosexuals -- after all, as ConWebWatch detailed, his straight-edge punk-inspired extremist Christian movement claims to embrace "sexual purity through ... the abolition of homosexuality."

Now, he has endorsed one method of achieving such abolition -- literally, through capital punishment. Mitchell's Dec. 23 WorldNetDaily video was dedicated to defending a proposed draconian anti-gay law in Uganda. that would, among other things, make homosexual acts punishable by life in prison at minimum or the death penalty for those caught engaging in it more than once. It even punishes knowledge of homosexual activity with a prison sentence.

But that's cool with ol' Molotov. He complained that pastor Rick Warren finally came out against the law "after a week of merciless taunting from some lesbian chick at MSNBC" (accompanied by an image of Rachel Maddow). Not only is killing gays endorsed by the Bible, Mitchell claimed, "our founding fathers also made homosexuality a capital offense. Mitchell even found further justification for the law, claiming that in the 1800s, the country "was oppressed by an evil homosexual king, King Mwanga."

Besides, Molotov lectured, "Uganda is a sovereign, democratic nation that's free to make its own laws." Despite his admission earlier in the video that the law would make homosexuality a capital offense, Molotov goes on to claim: "They don't want to kill the homosexuals; they just want them to stop practicing homosexual acts." That follows in the footsteps of anti-gay activists who attempt to separate homosexual behavior from homosexual orientation.

Mitchell then claimed: "If gay Ugandans don't like the law, they are more than free to leave." Actually, that wouldn't help: The law would also apply to Ugandans living outside the country, even in countries where homosexuality is legal. He followed this up by asserting, "don't think that our founding fathers wouldn't support this legislation all the way." The on-screen text when he says this? "When Character Was King..."

What may be even more shocking (or not) than Mitchell's embrace of such a draconian law is that he concluded his video by quoting Martin Luther King: "The moral arm of the universe is long, but it bends toward justice." He adds: "Ugandans, stay on the right side of history."

Molotov must be wetting himself at the prospect of achieving some honest-to-goodness "abolition of homosexuality," even if it is only in Uganda.

Alright, let's review, shall we?

The feminist movement dreamed of women being able to vote, to have jobs, and to be able to be independent.

The civil rights movement dreamed of blacks and whites sitting at the table together.

The Christian Right... Well, they dream of gay people being led into the gas chamber.

1. the tribe has spoken

I wonder what trade agreements we have with Uganda?

I wonder what, if any foreign aid we provide to Uganda?

I wonder why oh why oh why our Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, steadfastly refuses to weigh in formally on the issue.

:shrug:

Words are cheaper than action but apparently the Department of State is waiting for a fire sale or something.
