By this chucklehead's reasoning:
  1. If the U.S. soldiers hadn't been homophobes, none of the abuse would've happened.
  2. Converse: If all the Iraqi prisoners had been homos, they wouldn't have minded the treatment.

Ummmm....okay - I guess the gay agenda is running out of steam - grasping at any kind of straw to get some attention.

Yeah...for some reason I just couldn't find all those dots. It is amazing the lengths "liberals" will go to perpetuate stereotypes and the idea of victimology.

"that to be gay is to be subhuman."

Subhuman? No. Just a sexual perversion -- like pedophelia or bestiality.

Interesting article in that it raises front and center that most people find homosexual behavior offensive. Perhaps not new news but it kinds of brings those feelings out into the open and out of the closet (pardon the pun). Not good news for the homosexuals.

Guess that the humiliation wouldn't have anything to do with the Arab world's macho man sense of self, would it?

~ OR ~ "No one can doubt..." that the troops running the prisoners through their paces were homosexual themselves!

I havent even read most of this article, but the headline alone deserves a response:

In the fine print of the Abuse 'scandal' over-reporting was the notice that *most* of the pictures were taken on a single day, in a single cell-block and involved a small number of detainees.

They happened around Nov 8th last year.

The guards had decided to use this humiliation to punish some prisoners accused of RAPING A TEENAGED BOY ALSO IN THE PRISON! And also to punish some for starting a riot.

this was wrong, but making this men do this was perhaps the guards attempt to make a punishment that fit the crime.

Not homophobia but homosexuals getting their jollies. Pain, torture, mutilation are all part of homosexual practices.

no --- to be gay is to be happy. To be homosexual is to be perverted.

Does every action committed have to be somehow an affront to the homosexual community?? I am wondering how they are going to turn the beheading of Berg into an attack on homosexuals? Any guesses?

Yes. One could consider the SA (brownshirts).

As a gay man and a person of Arab descent, Mubarak Dahir felt a double sting from the pictures he saw on the television news.

In the Arab/Muslim culture, a man can be sentenced to years in prison and thousands of lashes merely for wearing women's clothes. And they call the West homophobes. Unbelievable.

They misbehaved that way because they "fear the queer"?

"Not homophobia but homosexuals getting their jollies. Pain, torture, mutilation are all part of homosexual practices."

I think Rush insinuated that the pictures were homoerotica and nothing out of the ordinary--typical of what you'd see in the bathhouses in San Fran.

My thought is that there were homosexuals inside the military that couldn't be weeded out with the "don't tell" policy, and they just acted on their fantasies, IMHO.

Who said that? To engage in homosexual acts is to be sinful, not subhuman, but it must make this homosexual (Aaron Belkin) feel better about his own perversion to accuse non-homosexuals of this belief.

Homosexual Agenda Ping - I guess you could call this humor...

Can you figure out how "homophobia" caused the stupidity at Abu Ghraib???

I'd say it wasn't enough homophobia.

Let me know if anyone wants on/off this pinglist.
