A side issue of the Phil Robertson kerkuffle
Although I didn't follow this that close, I did see an interview between Megyn Kelly and a representative from GLAAD. The man from GLADD slipped in an interesting comment that sounded an awful lot like a talking point. As he was presenting his arguments, he said (and I must paraphrase)
"....any comments that suggest that gays are sinful can lead to a dangerous situation for gays, in particular the young...."
Clever. Blame Duck man for gay teen bullying and suicides. My guess is that this will be a new meme for the MSNBC minions.

So this gives Christians the green light to beat up gay kids because their sin? Ironic and moronic at the same time.

Let's tell all wrong doers their error... except for the homos. Pat them on the head and lie to them their behavior is Jesus approved.
What murderer ever became addicted to drugs or committed suicide because he heard killing was a sin? And would anyone feel responsible?

Since sin is transgression of the Law, the humanistic solution to sin is to do away with the Law.

Seriously, how did you get that from my comment?
My post suggested that GLADD would try to blame Robertson, or Christians in general, if any gay teen is abused for being gay. I never suggested that Robertson's comments would result in bullying, only that Christians could be made the de facto culprits if it did.
Just another attempt to establish a class of victims that for the most part, doesn't exist.

My comment was in response to the GLAAD spokespersons comment. Evidently they think that pointing out that the gay lifestyle is sinful will lead to kids getting beat up.

It's more than blaming Robertson for bullying... It's laying the groundwork to silence religious liberty..

This is as good a place as any to give kudos to A&E for totally ignoring Jesse Jackson's demand to meet him along with his usual extortion tactics. Jackson is finally seen as being useless.
