Barney Frank: "White People From America" Are "Stirring Up" Anti-Gay Laws In Uganda

[Playinghardball]

The former Massachusetts Congressman said in a radio interview Monday that anti-gay Americans have been “repudiated” in this country. Frank said they are now taking their anti-gay messages to countries like Uganda, which recently passed a law making homosexuality a crime punishable by life in prison in some instances.

1. Yes, Barney, and it's been going on a while now

Scott Lively began getting involved in Uganda in 2002, if I remember correctly. And that's just one. What they can't do here they want to do there.

2. Why are countries like Uganda so susceptible to American nutcases?

I mean, if some extremist politician came to the US from Zimbabwe and told us what laws to start passing, I don't think he'd get very far.

3. How much money does Zimbabwe send to the United States as govenrment and military aid?

Knowing what I know of Zimbabwe, I can't imagine that any such aid crosses the decimal point.

4. Yes they are.

5. Yes but...

… they are choosing Africa because there is a market there that no longer exists here.
