Tim Graham headlined his Dec. 26 NewsBusters post “WaPo Still Railing Against ‘Doubly Sacrilegious’ Removal of Ants-on-Christ Video,” and it begins: “It was two days before Christmas, and some Washingtonians were still complaining that images mocking Jesus had been removed from the National Portrait Gallery.”
Graham, if you’ll recall, has demonstrated an inability to stop obsessing over George Allen’s notorious “macaca incident.” He and the MRC were still complaining about it four years after the fact.
If the Post is “railing against” the removal of a single video — a mere 11 seconds of which was the “ants-on-Christ” stuff — from a Smithsonian exhibition on gay portraiture, Graham could choose to ignore it. But he does not; he takes the bait every time. So, of course, he uses the opportunity to once again rant about how much he hates gays:
“Openness” does not mean debate. It means that the capital must be open for the Gay Agenda to sprawl across the museum and for no one to dare to question it, even as it assaults ancient religions.
Well, one “ancient religion.” We suspect that Graham would not be so concerned if the exhibit had a video of ants crawling over, say, Osiris. Of course, Graham makes no mention of the artist’s intent of the video clip as a metaphor for suffering, not to insult Christianity.
And yes, Graham capitalized “Gay Agenda.” Why? Who knows? It’s certainly not a formal name, though gay-bashers like Graham appear to think otherwise.
