Vampire hunter is about to kill a vampire before it is pointed out that the person who the vampire wants to eat is a neo-nazi among other things. Upon seeing that the hunter views that the vampire is doing nothing wrong and leaves him be to eat the neo-nazi.

I'm glad people can come together for a flood, but this ain't gonna last when one side is loving klan members and nazis.

Yeah you know what? Bullfuckingshit that the Klan is out there saving as many minorities as they can. Yeah, I'm sure Democrats and Republicans are coming together blah blah, but the issue is NOT "Democrats vs Republicans" anymore, it's "NAZI's vs everyone else". This is such a whitewashing of the real issues that are out there and downplaying the danger when the real bad guys are currently spreading "Why come Obama didn't help with Katrina???" and spreading racist "black looters shooting at white hero" memes. "Democrats vs republicans" left port years ago, this is NOT "business as usual". gently caress this "let's come together and hug" bullshit because you're no longer telling me to hug a political opponent but someone who literally wants me to and mine to be driven from the Earth.

Nah, it's a bit more subtle (but no less bullshit). The study they site tries to claim that the biological connection between child and parent is more important than anything else. As a lot of children in gay households are (according to the study, no idea about the actual numbers) staying with a gay parent after their heterosexual marriage ended with divorce. Then, when the child asks where babies come from and learn that it takes a man and a woman, their tiny child minds will be OVERWHELMED and they'll decide that something has to be horribly horribly wrong since one of their biological parents is out there somewhere and not here raising them.

I meant the poster, though. It's pretty explicitly suggesting gays beat kids, with only the faintest pretense of metaphor.

Hell, I think we're even beyond this point in American conservatism nowadays. Republicans and Fundamentalists have realized that as long as something sounds like it's scientific, people will snatch it up and instantly believe it as long as it agrees with their pre-existing worldview. Before the Obergefell decision, you saw a few anti-gay "scientific" papers being published that were so lacking in standards and integrity that they were almost instantly (although metaphorically) torn apart. But to the people putting them out, it didn't matter - it was never about actually being correct, it was about shaping public perception.


It's why organizations like the American College of Pediatricians exist. It's not an actual scientific organization, it's a lobbying group made up of conservative Christians. They exist solely because "Well, the American College of Pediatricians says that introducing children to LGBT concepts is harmful and should be avoided" is a lot easier to say on Fox News than it is to say "BUT THEY'RE FAGS!"

Science, to them, is a tool to be used to get people to agree with them, nothing more.

The woman concerned about schools letting boys wear dresses did actually make that complaint against her son's school, it was part of the scare campaign thrown against the Safe Schools program much like all those Bill Leak cartoons with teachers in gimp suits.

You'd think that, but TIF is typically used in many places as a tool to attract businesses and spur growth in 'blighted' areas. But that funding also keeps tax dollars out of the hands of school districts and other entities until the time that the TIF matures, so when that growth does happen, those dollars are still going to the TIF and not to a school district that might suddenly need it if say, a bunch of people move in?

The extremist hate group thing seems a little trumped up to me.

The Southern Poverty Law Center says there are between 5,000 and 8,000 Klan members. The SLPC is the media’s go-to choice for hate stats. They even publish this helpful hate map.

But their definition of hate seems broad. They label some Christian groups that don’t share their views on LGBT issues, like the Family Research Council, as hate groups. Then again, I suppose the Klan also considers itself a Christian group not big on the LGBT agenda.

Anyway, I found the FBI figure of 2,200 Klan members quoted in Newsweek archives. So I went with it.
