1. He's a NUT, and he should ask why Sen. Larry Craig won't ADMIT to being gay which he obviously is.

17. Wow, he looks just as nasty and ill-natured as he obviously is
You'd think a politician would be better at disguising his facial expressions.

Who votes for him?

3. Just the other year I saw a bunch of gays wasting our reputation, military, and money abroad!
Then they were pushing their religion into the ass of secular government and then they were sodomizing the constitution!!!

Oh wait...that was Republicans.

5. How long before it comes out that he's in the closet?
His excuse will be "They LURED me!!! See, they're dangerous!!! They can....LURE ya!!!!"

All I can think of when I hear that guy's last name is the little hapless kid on South Park with the dorky voice who always gets bullied into doing things he doesn't want to do!

What a tool!

8. What is he so scared of? I mean exactly and technically, what are gays going to DO to this country?
I know its a cliche, but people this obsessively fearful sound like closeted self-loathers.

14. Does anybody ever call these assholes on idiotic statements like this?
I would love for some reporter to call him on this bullshit, and explain just WHY he thinks gays are the "greatest threat to America". I can think of quite a few threats to America - climate change, economic problems, racial strife, substandard education, American Idol, etc - but gays? :sarcasm:

16. The old "Let us distract America from the real problems they face"
GOP: We do not want them thinking about the awful living conditions
our party has wrought. Stir up the emotions with Gays, Abortion
and GUNS.

18. It's 2009, And A Senator Can Still Say Things Like That And Keep His Job
Worse, it will get him re-elected.

God bless America, the Land of the Free.

Something to think about the next time gay people get told to "stop making a big deal" over a Rick Warren or a Donny McClurkin.

20. "Ever"!
Sad that someone this stupid is feeding at the government trough. Will there be a "gay threat" chart like that oh-so-effective one we had for terror?
