NO PROTEST
Fisking Kirchick,
Hell hath no fury like a homosexual seemingly scorned.
=====
Always start with a stereotype ... in this case, analogizing from women's temperament (or lack of it). Great.
the anti-gay forces of reaction in this country are gasping their last breath
=======
Let's go state-by-state with your prognosis and hear you put your "20 years" estimate to greater scrutiny, eh?
We will hasten the day of gay equality by engaging respectfully ...
=======
yeah...how far did Bayard Rustin get with his "engaging respectfully" tact, say?
...with them and winning over the persuadable ones (many of whom, I bet, are followers of Warren), rather than calling them names.
======
Did they even want to be 'engaged'? Some of them even subtly tear down the people who are/were doing that, using innuendo and stuff, right?
In that vein, gays would do well to store their gunpowder for the truly significant legislative battles ...
======
Gays have gunpowder saved somewhere? Where is that, Jamie?
How are the "true" battles really that much different? Doesn't it all boil down to a matter of political say-so?
perhaps he'd feel a political debt to us when these truly significant issues come up for debate
======
Is this like the bargaining stage of grief or something?
This is the problem with the entire Washington-based set of Kirchick-like politicos. They think there is some amount of backdoor handwashing, lobbying and favor-trading that will bring about legislative action on civil rights.
While it may happen, that is no way to build or think about building an agenda for change, right? (At least, not any longer ...).
Attacking the President-Elect who campaigned as the most pro-gay candidate in American history...
====
Uh, two words: Dennis Kucinich. Sheesh. If you are going to attack the Left allatime, kneejerk-like for a pressline, then at least keep up with lefty politics...

Contrariwise for the sake of it
