Conservatives blame Shalikashvili's stroke for his support of Don't Ask, Don't Tell repeal
Agape Press, the news service of the American Family Association, has reported on the response of the conservative military watchdog group, the Center for Military Readiness, to a New York Times op-ed in which retired Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General John Shalikashvili called for the repeal of the law which led to the military's Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy. The policy forces lesbians and gays to remain in the closet should they wish to join or remain in the armed forces.

Conceding that the General's stance would assist efforts to repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell, Agape reported that Donnelly said Shalikashvili is "struggling" to keep his health. "She says it is 'really sad' to see someone like the General being used by the homosexual propaganda machine as 'the latest tool of a public relations campaign,'" reported Agape.

Steve Ralls, a spokesman for the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network told PageOneQ that, "Even for Ms. Donnelly, her newest line of attack is an all-time low. To even insinuate that a four-star General is unable to reach his own conclusions about this issue is outrageous."

Contacted by PageOneQ, Donnelly said she "wished the General well in his continuing recovery." When questioned further as to whether she had knowledge that the General had not recovered, Donnelly replied, "Yes, I do not think he -- wait, that is all I am going to say, I wish him well in his recovery."

1. Love those christians and their total concern for stroking something
Scum of the earth garbage human beings. The focus on the family agenda is to kill all homosexuals. Their brains are fucking eaten up by hate and syphillis. They are the number one domestic enemy of the constitution. Jesus Christ will whip your hatefull asses with rose bushs before he banishes you to hell for eternity, but while you are still on earth keep giving your fucking money to your handlers dobson etc. They don't give a fuck about you.
