The Sound of the Crowd

Too much? You make the call

On the other hand, I’m not at all sure that John from AmericaBlog is overreacting when he says this is Nazi Germany in America:

“Republican Alabama lawmaker Gerald Allen says homosexuality is an unacceptable lifestyle. As CBS News Correspondent Mark Strassmann reports, under his bill, public school libraries could no longer buy new copies of plays or books by gay authors, or about gay characters.”

John (whose blog, you’ve probably realized by now, is the place to go if you’re interested in the Microsoft/Ralph Reed/etc thing) then throws in the following aside to Microsoft:

“…this is why we are so scared that your capitulation to the religious right could start an entire wave of businesses throwing us under the bus, a bus we’re already sitting on the back of. Can you understand our fear about what is happening to our country? Can you now understand why it is so important for you to take a stand for what you’ve always defended until now?”
