Army recruiter to gay guy: "Go back to Africa and do your gay voodoo limbo tango..."
Putting the recruiter's bias aside, if that's possible, think about the stupidity involved here:

Maybe she's just trying to get tossed out of Bush's Army.

4. KO read this the other night
About as disgusting as it gets. I surely hope something is done about disciplining overt bigots in the military. Maybe a policy of...oh, I dunno...."If you are a despicable bigot - don't ask, don't tell"?

5. If she posted that using her official email and identifying herself as an army recruiter she is

7. In a non-Bush world, that would be true. Hope it's true anyway, too.
