> Sorry, don't think supporting an antigay candidate and a specific antigay law are the same thing

A specific anti-gay law that stripped existing rights from people, at that. Yeah, it's very different.

Eh.. supporting an anti Jew law is way different than supporting Hitler too, I mean, just because someone doesn't like Jews and they want an extermination law doesn't mean they want Hitler to do it. I can't believe people can't see this blatant logic.

You had to Godwin this, didn't you!

But I wouldn't hurry to pile on Hitler before I know if he apologized. What if he had apologized? That really changes things.

Candidates have the power to push for changes in legislation... if this candidate had changed legislation in support of any of his views on gay rights, how would it be any different than what donating to Prop 8 achieved?
