This is quoted from "Scott Bidstrup" <scott@bidstrup.com>Tuesday, October 20, 2009 1:55 PM [Same title as the topic heading]. If you write to him you can get the full text and get on his newsletter list.

"If you have read about "The Family," the secretive Fundamentalist Christian cult to which many important members of Congress, as well as Hillary Clinton, belong, you may have thought it to be a relatively harmless group of Christian wackos specializing in power-brokerage."

"The Family is the evangelical group that is behind the most bigoted and draconian anti-gay laws in the world, by far, and given some of the laws that exist in the Islamic world, that’s saying something. If these laws are allowed to go forward, they will quite literally lead to the genocide of gays and lesbians, and anyone who protects them, in Uganda. That nation’s president, Yoweri Museveni, himself a real piece of work, has been converted to The Family, and Doug Coe, the cult’s leader, is using him to put forward what can only be called an anti-gay pogrom."

[In the Ugandan legislature] "The “Anti-Homosexuality Bill 2009” is so severe that it is designed to shred the spirit and suffocate the soul of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Ugandans. If it passes, Uganda will become a predator state that actively hunts down GLBT people to destroy them."

"with this bill penalizing anyone who “attempts to commit the offence” with up to seven years in jail. Additionally, a person charged will be forced to undergo an invasive medical examination to determine their HIV status. If the detainees are found to be HIV+, they may be executed."

"This barbaric legislation stifles free speech by threatening anyone who is accused of “promoting” homosexuality with five to seven year prison sentences. Snitching on gay friends and family members is strongly encouraged because “failure to disclose the ‘offence’ within 24 hours of knowledge makes somebody liable to a fine or imprisonment of up to three years.”"

These are the right-wing people accusing the Democrats of being Nazis.
