Lest you be confused

Sex sells. So the Pastor Tom case is going to be billed as another GOP gay sex scandal. Let’s be real about it, though. This is a hypocrisy scandal. This is a demogoguery scandal. This is an abuse of parishioners’ trust scandal. And the tragic thing about it is that the hypocrites Pastor Tom typifies will use it to further their hate and learn nothing. This is your country on the eve of an election with a war on:

• NYT–Minister Admits He Bought Drug but Denies Tryst

• WaPo–Pastor Accused in Sex Scandal

• Reuters–Evangelist admits buying meth but denies sex

The three states around NC will vote on same-sex marriage ammendments on Tuesday. Those measures, crafted by the political opportunists that run the GOP, are on the ballot solely to drive evangelical turnout. This state is next on their list. It’s time to draw the line.
