Three GOP Presidential Candidates Sign Pledge To Investigate LGBT Community

[Lunabelle]

Get ready for another round of McCarthyism. Mitt Romney, Michele Bachmann, and Rick Santorum have all signed a pledge to form a commission to investigate the LGBT community if elected President.

This pledge was created by the National Organization For Marriage, and they have a history of extreme views against homosexuals and anyone who votes to extend marriage rights to them.

The pledge reads as follows:

I, , pledge to the American people that if elected President, I will:

<...> establish a presidential commission on religious liberty to investigate and document reports of Americans who have been harassed or threatened for exercising key civil rights to organize, to speak, to donate or to vote for marriage and to propose new protections, if needed.

In other words, the extreme right wing is going to persecute homosexuals on a whole new level if they have power after the 2012 Election. Homosexuals and supporters of marriage equality will be intimidated, interrogated, and stripped of their right to speak freely. The religious right wing has been allowed to push their un-American and unconstitutional agenda for far too long. Americans must push back. If we continue to do nothing, we could all be persecuted by this fanatical group.

3. I'm only surprised that more of those assholes didn't sign it.

[meegbear]

5. And GOProud will applaud the investigation ...

as they get dragged under the bus and call it "democracy in action".

[Zorra]

6. These folks really seriously need to get a life.

Wow. They are just so totally wacko..

7. So, when is our contract going to be ready to have the Tea Party investigated?

Seems only fair to me, and I have no doubt that an investigation into the Tea party will drudge up a HELL of a lot more shady dealings.

13. I heavily agree with this one - the tea party needs to be way more investigated.

9. There is no evidence anybody has been systematically harassed or threatened

for organizing, speaking, donating money for the purpose of, or voting to eradicate rights for LGBT people. Anti-gay bigots have gone into court trying to "prove" such claims and have been summarily dismissed.


Face it. You guys don't like that you can no longer oppress us with impunity. Stop pretending you're the victims rather than the victimizers. Denying our rights is not one of your "civil rights" and you're not a martyr because you can't force your backwards notions on us.

It is anti-gay when you strive to take away from gay people rights you have and enjoy. It is anti-gay when you spread hateful lies to do so. You're the one twisting things, and nobody here is buying it.

11. Probably a hit and run

Signed up here just to post her twaddle on a months-old post. She's just doing her part to defend the indefensible and rack up another notch in her Marriage Defender belt.

12. Have they not read the 1st amendment?

"Congress shall make NO law respecting an establishment of religion.."
