My wife was flipping through TV channels last night, and we ran into
some tax-subsidized homosexual propaganda on PBS, a gay variety
show called "In The Life."

At one point in the show, they showed an ad clearly intended to
raise consciousness about gay-bashing.  It was very well done,
and for the most part, I found myself very pleased with it.
It captured the terror of being attacked, and not being able to
defend yourself.  (It's a shame that PBS would never deign to show 
a similar ad against generalized violent crime -- but then again, 
straight lives aren't worth much to the leftist establishment of this
country).

But there was one part of the ad that was very worrisome, because
of past history.  At one point, as the point man for the gay-bashing
gang chases after the victim, the image cuts rapidly back and forth
between the gay-basher and a furious barking Doberman pinscher.
The close of the ad says, "Hate.  It's not human."

What's troubling about this is that by reducing the gay-basher
to the level of an animal, the homosexual fascist lobby creates
the implicit assumption that anything done to such a person,
just like a dangerous dog, is therefore justified: execution 
without trial, using him in laboratory experiments, or torture.

I have no sympathy for violent assaulters, whether their motivations 
are hatred of homosexuals, or lust for someone else's wallet.
If, in defending oneself from felonious attack, such a person
gets badly hurt or dies, tough.  They had the choice to not
do what they did.  But this suggestion that they are "subhuman"
or "nonhuman" reminds me greatly of how concentration camp
guards used the German word for "animal feeding" when berating
their captives: "Kein arbeiten, kein frissen."

And of course, the homosexual fascist lobby insists that anyone
who expresses disapproval of homosexuality is a "gay-basher"
in the same sense that a violent criminal is.  Some homosexuals
have gone so far as to suggest that a posting attacking homosexuality 
is worse than raping children.  This also worries me, because the
logical extension of this "non-human" assertion about gay-bashers,
and the indiscriminate use of this term to address anyone that
disapproves of homosexuality, makes me rather worried about the
future.  The analogy would be to a Jew in 1932 Germany, who
hears constant Nazi propaganda about "Jewish bankers," "Uenter-
menschen Juden," and realizes that he is likely to be included in 
the list of undesirables to be "solved."

And of course, the ad is wrong: hate is very human.  Just read
soc.motss for a while, and you'll realize how much hatred there
is out there, by homosexuals, for anyone that isn't prepared to
cluck sympathetic remarks about homosexuality.
