Given what the Republican Party has become, I find it difficult to grasp how anyone who isn't clinically mentally disturbed or who has had a lobotomy. I find it even more difficult to understand how anyone gay can be a Republican when denigrating LGBT Americans and maintaining our third class citizen status is a matter of party platform. Thus, members of GOProud strike me as somewhat akin to kapos who worked for the Nazi regime. I just don't get it. Neither does MSNBC anchor Thomas Roberts who took Jimmy DeSalvia, the head of GOProud, deservedly to task. Here are highlights from Huffington Post followed by a video clip:
*
Openly gay MSNBC anchor Thomas Roberts had some very harsh words for Michele Bachmann and the GOP on Friday.
*
Roberts was speaking to Jimmy DeSalvia, the head of GOProud, a gay Republican organization, about Bachmann. DeSalvia said it was important to "replace" a "failed president," and that his organization had reached out to all the GOP presidential candidates. (Bachmann is known for her ferocious opposition to gay rights, and video footage has shown that a clinic she co-owns practices so-called "conversion therapy" on gay people.)
"You will replace [Obama] with a person who would extinguish you," Roberts said to DeSalvia. He adding that Bachmann is someone who "doesn't believe that you have a right in this country to get married, that believes you don't even have a right in this country to be gay because she co-owns a clinic that will convert you.

I'm clinically mentally disturbed (bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and OCD) but I ain't crazy. The uber right wing ilk would gladly stick my fat, mentally ill ass in a gas shower and then into an oven, and I'm full well aware of it. These are some very evil people.
