Elaine Donnelly's New Low

Even for Elaine Donnelly, this is a new low.

The director of the Center for Military (Un)Readiness is weighing in on General Shalikashvili's statement in the New York Times. From Agape press:

"...Donnelly notes that Shalikashvili has in the last year or so suffered a debilitating stroke and is, in her words, 'struggling to retain his health.' She says it is 'really sad' to see someone like the general being used by the homosexual propaganda machine as 'the latest tool of a public relations campaign.'"

Shame on her. How can Ms. Donnelly claim to have any respect for our men and women in uniform - let alone be an advocate for their best interests - when she shows such blatant disregard for a four-star general? What is truly sad is Elaine's desperate, last ditch attempts to divert the public's attention from the fact that she doesn't have a single piece of evidence to support her barely concealed homophobia.

(At least, however, she may be starting to look reality in the face: "It's going to take a lot of playing defense on the part of the Republicans to make sure that legislation to repeal the law that Congress passed in 1993 doesn't happen," she said. Even Ms. Donnelly knows repeal is right around the corner.)
