Flooding The Zone

With sodomy. No, really.

Aravosis, the serial trafficker in Republicans-are-gay rumors, cheerfully defends Democratic mudslinging. Kos says that every time the Right tries a “wedge issue”, the left needs to find a way to make it hurt the right. Especially the sodomy—they want to make it hurt. Aravosis gave the example of having a huge call-in campaign over the gay marriage issue, asking the senators’ staffs about their own histories of sodomy. And Atrios suggested also confirming which unmarried members of the White House Staff were themselves virgins, since the White House policy is promoting abstinence for teenagers. Sounds like a winner.

Lefties, make sure that whenever Rick Santorum brings up sodomy, you punish him by flooding the zone and talking about sodomy all the time. Nothing will create widespread sympathy for gay people who want to get married faster than a constant media drumbeat of sodomy, sodomy, sodomy.

Kos worries that Democrats aren’t confident about their positions like abortion—they’re afraid of being called baby-killing homo-lovers—so why would anyone respect them if they won’t stand up for their beliefs?

This mole of Allah's is strong. I'd would have burst out laughing and been detected.
