GLAAD: Lethal enforcers of left’s tolerance mob

Duck Dynastys Phil Robertson is not alone. Hes the latest in a long, long lineup of politically incorrect targets of the lefts sensitivity mob. Founded in 1985, the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) gangstas wont stop until both the cultural and legal enforcement of their agenda are the norm.

The A&E network (Atheists & Elitists) suspended the reality TV patriarch and self-made businessman on Wednesday for the Biblical views he expressed in an interview with GQ. Robertson was asked by the liberal magazine what he viewed as sinful. Drawing on the condemnation of sexual immorality in Corinthians 6:9, he cited adulterers, the idolaters, the male prostitutes, the homosexual offenders, the greedy, the drunkards, the slanderers, the swindlers they wont inherit the kingdom of God.

Robertsons punishable transgressions? Responding honestly to a question posed to him (this was not an unsolicited anti-gay rant; it was a response) and abiding by his Christian faith. GLAADs P.C. Praetorian Guard sprung into repressive action. The same group that initially gave f-word-spouting, homophobic liberal Alec Baldwin a pass accused Robertson of uttering some of the vilest and most extreme statements against LGBT people ever. (They should listen to the Koran-inspired executioners rants of gay-hanging and gay-stoning Iranian mullahs sometime.) GLAAD also railed against Robertsons vile preference for female anatomy over male as if it were an international human rights violation.

A&E folded faster than a stadium seat, immediately disavowing Robertson and suspending him from his familys show indefinitely. Meanwhile, network execs continued to cash in on the lucrative Duck Dynasty empire with a marathon of program reruns on the very day they threw Robertson under the bus. The network is free to do that, of course. And I am free to tell you all about the radical thugs that A&E indulged.

GLAAD has worked tirelessly to marginalize and suppress the free speech of Christian leaders, Christian businesses and conservative talk-radio hosts dating back to their infamous Dr. Laura boycott 13 years ago. The groups mission is not about equality or defending against defamation. Its about silencing critics, making open debate radioactive, demonizing people of faith and making even the slightest perceived slight a hate crime.

Last year, GLAAD speech-squelchers issued a blacklist of 34 Christian commentators they wanted networks to ban from their air for extreme views (read: opposing gay marriage). Earlier this year, GLAAD attacked the National Geographic Channel for partnering with the traditional values-promoting Boy Scouts on a reality TV program.

GLAAD is free to start its own Gay Scouts, but instead chose to harangue NatGeo for refusing to run a disclaimer at the beginning of each show condemning the Boy Scouts leadership policies.

Its not enough to live and let live. You must repent and genuflect before the self-serving gods of selective progressivism. Thats why GLAAD forgave Hollywood director Brett Ratner for using the word fag. He was allowed back into the protected Hollywood club after submitting to GLAAD reeducation camp and appearing in GLAAD public service announcements. Bill Clinton, who authored both the Defense of Marriage Act and the Dont Ask, Dont Tell policies so reviled by the homosexual lobby, ended up receiving a GLAAD Advocate for Change award earlier this year for changing his mind when politically expedient.

For the civility police, the operational motto is always: Do as we say, not as we do, in the name of social justice. Amen.

In the 1960s, radical philosopher Herbert Marcuse popularized the repressive tolerance theory of modern progressives. Liberating tolerance would mean intolerance against movements from the right and toleration of movements from the left, Marcuse pontificated. Certain things cannot be said, certain ideas cannot be expressed, certain policies cannot be proposed.
