Anyone else hear Paul Weyreich on NPR this pm?

Said homosexuals were "preoccupied with sex" and so the repub leaders should have taken away all Foley's power.
Interviewer said something like, "hold on.. homosexuals are preoccupied with sex?"
Weyreich: yes
NPR: where do you get that?
weyreich: not just me but psychologists and psychiatrists
npr: "your opinion"

Had to leave my pickup then to pen my stock--missed the rest of the segment

3. uh. yeah.

I did. Thought it was the freaking point of the story that this man is so ignorant/bigoted. But no. I'm so happy our lady interviewer mentioned it.

11. The interviewer (not sure which one it was)

made certain her skepticism was quite evident. She did well with a nutjob. As reprehensible as the interview was, it exposed a certain scary mindset.

5. What a nitwit.

That's the kind of "Don't confuse me with the facts. My mind (sic) is made up." crap we're up against on almost every issue.

6. Yes - I heard it and gagged. The reporter tried to make him

say that was his opinion but he lied further and said mental health experts support that view.

He was going on about what a nice guy Hastert is and why he should not resign. I hope they both get caught in a massive cover up.

7. It's funny. These guys hate psychiatrists and scientists...

but they're very quick to use them to prove a point (even if the point is a made up "fact"). Can you spell hypocrite?

9. LOL! Poor choice of title.

I saw that subject and wondered what the hell I had typed to cause you to call me an ignoramus (not that it isn't true, but it would still me mean). :)

13. I see your point. And you are correct.

Not meaning you at all, of course.

I suppose it should read: "Can THEY spell ignoramus?"

LOL indeed!

12. yeah, what a total POS

(I mean, I am not gay, and I'm fairly pre-occupied with sex.)

His bullshit about psychologists etc. was crap, and he should have been called on it, asked for examples.
