The Bigots’ Last Hurrah by Frank Rich. I'm trying again

[MISSDem]

cause, IMHO, everyone should read this.
WHAT would happen if you crossed that creepy 1960s horror classic “The Village of the Damned” with the Broadway staple “A Chorus Line”? You don’t need to use your imagination. It’s there waiting for you on YouTube under the title “Gathering Storm”: a 60-second ad presenting homosexuality as a national threat second only to terrorism.

1. The sentiments in that vid

are just plain ugly. I'm convinced that the right simply can't deal with reality.

2. excellent op-ed piece

"The Gathering Storm" does come across like some campy cult horror flick. The first time I saw it, I laughed. This ceratinly isn't going to move anyone into the anti-gay marriage column if they were sitting on the fence.

I don't think that kind of hyperbole works much anymore. It's so over the top that only the most homophobic people will believe it and we will never have their votes no matter what we do.
