John Boehner Wins GOP Hypocrite of the Week for Insisting His Religious Right to Hate on Gays Be Protected at All Costs

John Boehner
Everyone once in a while, the corporate media asks just the right questions, the ones that make pointing out conservative hypocrisy a piece of cake. This week, our thanks go out to CBS news for doing just that. Their article published Tuesday
titled "Why GOP Leader Opposes Hate Crimes Protections for Gays," comes up with the answer that we'll summarize as "because he's a bigoted hypocrite." And the two-facedness is twofold.
House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) recently spoke out against the Hate Crimes Bill passed in the House earlier this year, so CBS decided to call up his office and ask why. Turns out Boehner thinks that -- since gay people clearly choose to be gay -- it's like they're choosing to be hated upon by creeps like him. So why should Congress pass a law to protect those self-loathing freaks, right?
But Boehner totally respects hate crimes legislation that protects people based on their religious choices, according to his office. Apparently, Boehner came out of the womb as a fundie Christian troglodyte, and he feels like his right to practice his discriminatory religion should be protected by federal law.
But the hypocrisy doesn't stop there! Check out what Boehner said in opposition to the hate crimes legislation, which he characterized as "unconstitutional and just plain wrong:"
All violent crimes should be prosecuted vigorously, no matter what the circumstance. The Democrats' "thought crimes" legislation, however, places a higher value on some lives than others. Republicans believe that all lives are created equal, and should be defended with equal vigilance.
Oh, we didn't realize Republicans believe "that all lives are created equal." So, like, everyone should be allowed equal rights and stuff? Like the right to marry the person you love, say?
Hmmm, seems that some people are more equal than others, at least in the eyes of John Boehner's god.
The idea that Republicans are champions of equality would be laughable, if their exclusionary practices weren't so damaging to our national fabric. Same goes for Boehner's bizarre idea that religion is an "immutable characteristic," while at the same time insisting that sexual orientation is a matter of choice. And that's why we're giving John Boehner a double helping of this week's GOP Hypocrite of the Week Award.
Remember our motto: So many Republican hypocrites, so little time.
Catch up with you soon.

The future is going to be a mess
If the repugnants ever regain power in Congress, and the boner gets to chair a committee, we are in deep doo-doo. They will roll back every equal right law and freedom we have, so that we all are forced into choosing a religion and there will be a anti-free-thinking police force.
What's that?
Really? It seems to me that foetuses occupy a higher rung on the ladder of Republican priorities than the fully-born. If you're still a bun in the oven, they'll do everything they can to defend you, but once you pop out, you're on your own.
They also apparently value the lives of the brain-dead more than those of fully functional people. I guess in the case of Terri Schiavo they found someone they could identify with.
I'm so sick of this "thought crime" argument
and I wish, every time it was trotted out, someone would remind these goons that the concept is about motivation, as in: no motivation, no crime in the first place to prosecute.
