In reply to the discussion: What is the reason the GLBT Community doesn't support Bradley Manning? [View all]Smarmie Doofus
(14,498 posts)... it's always been painfully obvious that his sexual orientation touches something in the reptilian brain ( of many) of his detractors.
Hence the over-the-top pre-trial punishment ( i.e. torture), harassment while on active duty, the spleen-venting tone of invective of the internet troops, etc.
Some of whom ( i.e. those in the last category) seem to be ... well, if not recruited, exactly... unlikely to be here for the "long-haul".
Curiously, a lot of folks here ( i.e. in this thread) seem to have sign-ed up at or around April 19th of this year. And they have one compelling interest: Bradley Manning.
I'll leave that part it "to Dr. Freud along with the rest of it." ( 5 extra points if you can id that quote)
Not quite sure if there's any significance to that date. Hitler's birthday, maybe?
