Here is an email address to the American Embassy in Uganda.
Perhaps urging our man abroad to not sit by while this law gets enacted would be in order.

He sounds like the NRA. "We support guns for hunting, for target-shooting, for self-protection. How anyone could ever think that our support for guns would lead to people to use guns against other people is shocking! Shocking, I say!"
Very nice of Rachel to not let him get away with non-denial denials toward the end.

Damn. Rachel Maddow deserves a fucking medal for dealing with that kind of hatred so calmly. All the hateful things he said about gay people were said like they weren't in the room or something. I would freak out if I had to deal with that kind of shit.

Wow.
It's absolutely loathesome how this self-promoting bastard can face Maddow and lie about his non-scientific bullshit and take absolutely no responsibility for his conneries.

The world is a better place because of Rachel Maddow. I'm surprised that she got the idiot to retract his own words so easily. The ending spar was magnificent! Cohen: "[Homosexuality] is not on my radar screen." Me: *guffaw*

Shows how oblivious I am, I didn't realize that Rachel Maddow was gay. What can I say, she looks hot to me.
The guy she was talking to is a total slime, lying in his book, lying about how "cured" he is, promoting the killing of gay people to drive up demand for the crap he is selling.
He is a merchant of death. The Ugandan "kill the gays" law is a violation of the universal declaration of human rights. It is and should be defined as a crime against humanity. The rest of the world could and should prevent Uganda from implementing this, and could and should topple the Ugandan government if they do implement it.
This is just the first step for The Family. This is exactly what they want to implement in the US, first they will come for the gays, then the atheists, then the Muslims, then the Jews, then the Catholics until only they are left.

Wow. I didn't know Daniel Stern and Bob Saget had a crazy gay baby.

Heyy daedalus2u, no one cares if you think maddow is hot (or any other dudes for that matter). What she says is the topic of the post.

@ Salmo
Nah, I am pretty sure he is related to Heath Ledger's Joker.
