NY Assemblyman Dov Hikind: No Gays At Holocaust Memorial

New York Assemblyman Dov Hikind (D-Brooklyn), a notorious homophobe who routinely attempts to block LGBT rights legislation, is pissed off because homosexuals and other groups persecuted by the Nazis will be represented at a Holocaust memorial in Hikind's home borough.

What an asshole. And he's a democrat? As a queer Jew, he does not speak for me.

3. Because his voters will often vote Israel first

and anything else second.

A friend of a friend totally illustrates this issue. She is a total liberal progressive on EVERY issue to the max exept on the issue of Israel. On that single topic alone she is as right wing as Netanyahu. I have discussed this with her and brought up the inconsistency of it numerous times but she has more loyalty to tribe on this particular position.

6. Do you think that fits in with the whole extremist "God" stuff

We see all too often? Religion will be the death of us all.

I do.

Fear. It all comes back to fear.

7. I don't know if this is the case with her

but I do agree that fear is one of the motivating cudgels of religion throughout the ages.

4. By the twits in his district

Even if we had an uncorrupted government for five seconds, it wouldn't last because the populace is corrupt, too.
