“the image of the gay-hating conservative is actually conjured by the Left as a boogeyman in the gay community”
Can we be objective for a moment and consider this: when we social conservatives so often speak out against the gay lifestyle, gay marriage, etc., isn’t it understandable why the left’s tactics and characterization of us works in the gay community? Words have power and gays are uber-sensitive to begin with. So it’s understandable why they’re so easily convinced by the left that conservatives “hate gays”. Not true, of course, but understandable.
Just sayin’.
Words have power and gays are uber-sensitive to begin with. You're not "just sayin'" You're "excusin'."
So what if gays are "uber-sensitive" as you say. Phelps political mission and intent is to caricturize what is legitimate conservative opposition to gays and wrap it into despicable phony "anti-war" displays at funerals of America's heroes.
Instead of excusing wimps, why don't you focus on the topic at hand which is the fact that Phelps' roots were never in anything having to do with God or Christiainty at all, but in the Democrat party with an intent to loudly mis-represent conservative opposition with headline-grabbing absurdities.
