The GOP's 'Pink Purge'
The LAT is in hyperventilating hysteria about a shadowy purge of gay Republicans ostensibly being planned by "powerful evangelical coservatives":
Some Christians, who are pivotal to the GOP's get-out-the-vote effort, are charging that gay Republican staffers in Congress may have thwarted their legislative agenda. There even are calls for what some have dubbed a "pink purge" of high-ranking gay Republicans on Capitol Hill and in the administration. The long-simmering tension in the GOP between gays and the religious right has erupted into open conflict at a sensitive time, just weeks before a midterm election that may cost Republicans control of Congress.
We'll take this as a reason to switch political allegiances when we see prominent Democrats coming out against the 1970 purge of lesbians conducted by the progressives who run NOW. What's that you say? That was over three decades ago and it's unfair to comapre the progressives of today with the GOP of today? Hey, if it's good enough for comparing rampaging Muslim mobs to the Catholic Crusades of a thousand years ago...
