Racicot's lame excuse that he'll "meet with anybody" needed to be shown as the empty statement that it was.

Racicot's mistake was believing that Gary Bauer is capable of reasonable discernment.

I'm certainly no fan of Bauer's, but do you honestly agree with Horowitz's assertion that use the term "homosexual agenda" is a baseless example of "intolerance"?

That accusation seems quite stifling to the free expression of opinions that Horowitz claims to champion.

How is Gary Bauer supposed to "discern" this? Racicot would not meet with just anyone and he knows it. He chose to meet with the HRC despite the fact that they are a hard-core pro-homosexual group that seeks to destroy the prevailing definition of the family.

The "I'll meet with anyone" is just a smokescreen, and Mr. Bauer correctly recognized it. The real issue is that Republican leaders are deeply uncomfortable defending the traditional family, because they have few if any principles in this area. This insecurity and a desperate desire to appear acceptable to the p.c. culture leads them to seek some level of acceptance from homosexuals.
