Homos and Jewry and wingnuts, oh my!


Shorter wingnuts: "Any criticism or condemnation of any kind of Israel is blatant and obvious anti-Semitism. There is absolutely no distinction that can be drawn between disliking Israel for, say, its political positions or foreign policy or treatment of Palestinians, and being a disgusting, anti-Semitic Jew-hater. There is no difference between those two things, and any attempt to claim that there is is intellectual dishonesty."

Shorter wingnuts: "Any criticism or condemnation of homosexuality is in no way equivalent to being a rancid, anti-gay homophobe. It's critically important to distinguish between disapproving of gay rights or gay marriage or treating gays like human beings, and being a disgusting, homophobic bigot, because those two things are, like, totally different, and any attempt to claim that they're the same is intellectual dishonesty."
