HRC, the once-gay-oriented group that now exists as a lobbying arm of the Democratic Party with a mission that appears to be mostly apologizing for Democrats and making money off a retail store business, will be inviting Democratic VP nominee Joe Biden to address them at an HRC dinner.
Doubtlessly, it will be a love-fest, judging from the reactions of Democrat partisans in the gay media.
Unfortunately, the key questions that need to be asked will be ignored. Those include:
- Why did you help lobby for, author and vote for the anti-gay Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA)? Why would LGBT individuals have interest in voting for a ticket that includes one of the principle architects of this hateful, bigoted law?
- Why did you vote for the anti-gay military policy statute, popularly known as “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell?” Why would LGBT Americans want to vote for someone who has supported this hateful, bigoted law?
- Why have you persistently refused to cosponsor companion legislation in the Senate to repeal DADT? Why should LGBT voters believe you have our best interests at heart when you have such a poor record?
- Why have you refused to co-sponsor the Uniting American Families Act, which would end anti-gay discrimination in federal immigration law?
- Considering that Sarah Palin has fewer anti-gay votes on key issues, including marriage, adoption, immigration and military service, why do you have the gall to insist that you’re a “better” candidate than even the anti-gay GOP choice?
Of course, the Hardly Relevant Campaign wouldn’t allow these questions to be asked.
But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be asking them, repeatedly.
Meanwhile, HRC kisses Biden’s ass:
“If the support Senator Biden has proven on our issues is any indication of the type of vice president he will be,” HRC President Joe Solmonese said in a statement just after Biden was added to the Democratic ticket, “then our community can be assured that Senator Obama has chosen a thoughtful and staunch advocate for equality as his closest adviser.”
Anybody who actually believes that shit is deluded and retarded. And I know that Solomonese is smart.
So in reality, they’re trying to whitewash Biden’s anti-gay record — rendering HRC worse than useless.
