Actually, I Agree

Normally, I am not quick to accuse folks of actual racism or actual homophobia since nowadays a harmless gay joke gets considered homophobic. But watching this Rick Perry ad - he is basically coming out against gays in the military - and slips it non-sensically into this idea that Christians are persecuted in this country. The guy is appealing to homophobia. I suppose this isn't new to politics - the Clintons went racial against Obama - but it is pretty revealing and I dare day, actually homophobic.
