Accuracy in Media’s Cliff Kincaid keeps up the goofy crusade of equating homosexuality with treason with his Aug. 20 column attacking Bradley Manning, suspected of leaking classified war documents to WikiLeaks.
“In addition to being openly gay, he was a humanist and atheist,” Kincaid writes, adding, “The new information adds to the case, made by Accuracy in Media, that the much-criticized ‘Don’t ask, Don’t tell,’ homosexual exclusion policy was not being strictly enforced under the Obama Administration.” Kincaid goes on:
It is truly unbelievable. Who in the Army decided to make Manning, who was openly flouting the law on homosexuality, an intelligence analyst with access to classified information? There has been no follow-up from the liberal or conservative media on this sensitive point.
See? For Kincaid, gay = treason. Perhaps instead of examining Manning’s childhood for the “lack of a father figure in his life,” Kincaid should examine what makes him such a hateful, bitter man.
