In the news this weekend is an announcement by the leftist Southern Poverty Law Center (“SPLC”) that it will next year designate as a “hate group” the conservative right-winger organization Family Research Council (“FRC”) due to that organization’s “anti-gay views” (link to full story at bottom).Fine and dandy. The only thing in the world I could care less about than leftist organizations like the SPLC would be right-winger outfits like the FRC. However, what I want to know is whether the SPLC is also going to designate our illustrious president Obama and his administration as a “hate group,” since Obama’s very clearly on record as being opposed to gay marriage?
Or, are we going to see yet again the absolute hypocrisy of the far left in only criticizing the “anti-gay” and anti-gay marriage viewpoints of people who happen to be non-democrats? I won't hold my breath on this one, SPLC -- you hypocrites.

Postscript: I can still recall the worst example of the hypocrisy of the American left on this issue. That was when they totally came out of the wordwork last year to beat up on the California beauty pageant winner who was against gay marriage, while saying nary a word about their beloved leftist president who happens to hold the same viewpoint.
ReplyDeleteThe worst part of it is that they don't even have the good sense to be embarrassed about their hypocrisy! I'm sure they can come up with some 'good' argument as to why it's okay for B.O. to be against gay marriage, but not for the beauty queen to be. Why can't people just be sensible? I would really like to know =)
ReplyDeleteThat's how the ideologue (whether on the right or left) views the world: Find some reason to criticize anyone who's not like them on every single issue, and never apply the same standards to their own ilk. It's a shameless, mindless, cowardly way of being. Yet it's the domain of about 55-60 of the country, i.e. the ideologue partisans on the right and left.
