If you read the thread, you will have you questions answered, especially as concerns the differences between the Loony Tunes cartoons (based on absurdity, therefore, funny) and how SpongeBob and other characters are being USED to PROMOTE accept of that which is unacceptable.

The promotion of this is not occuring at home on the t.v. set, per se.

If you read the thread, you would have understood that a video has been made, circulated to 61,000 schools, complete with curriculum for the teachers to use to promote homosexuality as normal/acceptable.

For parents who are upset about that which is contrary to their religious beliefs and values is not "moronic." To voice their objections is also not "moronic." Indeed, they would actually be morons to be upset and still allow such undermining of their teachings because they're afraid it would hurt someone's feelings.

Or afraid folks would think it's not "politically astute".

Some of us worship Something a lot more important than politics.

If you would read my original post, I was reacting to another posters' irrational claim that once she heard that Gays liked the cartoon, she prohibited it in her house. That sort of thinking is a perfect example of someone going off on a completely useless tangent.

I merely expanded it to include the Right as a whole...and it DOES do this, on a number of topics not limited to cartoons. Most times in fact, it is encouraged into its folly by some or other preacher like Dobson or Wildmon.

As for the video and curricula, I am fully aware of it. I also disapprove of sexuality being taught in any way beyond simple fact in schools. I'm not certain that this is indeed the case here.

What IS certain is that a segment of the Right and a prominent member of it are now associated with an attack on a cartoon character, and will thus be portrayed and remembered. They should have known better. I'm not surprised that they did not, however.
