Novak - Republicans knew about and concealed Larry Craig's behavior

According to Bloomberg, (see Think Progress for the TV clip.) Bob Novak has stated that the Senate Republicans have known that Larry Craig is gay and that he has long practiced his toilet-stall behavior.

It amazes me how blatantly those Republicans hide and support their closeted gay politicians and still run on an anti-gay platform to satisfy their social conservative base. The level of hypocrisy demonstrated by the leaders of the social conservative so-called 'values voters' is the flip side of the same coin.

It probably shouldn't surprise me, though. Those politicians and social conservative leaders are themselves particularly nasty pieces of work. Our society no longer reacts viscerally in fear of an uprising of Blacks, so they have had to find new enemies to pretend were existential threats to America so that they could hang onto power. What have they found? Gays, Muslims, and immigrants. Oh, and they have never stopped being afraid of poor and sick people.

If there really were an interventionist God performing miracles, every time they called themselves 'Christians' their tongues would burst into fire.
