Didn’t this guy have a cartoon about him back in the day?

That's a different Dr. Katz. :)

defending homophobia and questioning the value of racial diversity efforts

Here's some of the offending stuff:

"The human body was not designed to share hypodermic needles, it was not designed to be promiscuous, and it was not designed to engage in homosexual acts," he wrote. "Engaging in such behavior is like riding a motorcycle on an icy road without a helmet. It may be possible to get away with it for a while, and a few misguided souls may get a thrill out of doing so, but sooner or later (probably sooner) the consequences will be catastrophic. Lethal diseases spread rapidly among people who do such things."

"The diversity movement is racist at its core," he writes. "When dealing with people we should be concerned with intellect, talent, character and accomplishment. People aren't dogs or cattle; race matters only to racists."

Not seeing the problem here, just a couple of reasonable points being made ...

Tolerate what we tell you to tolerate, not who we tolerate in practice....

Liberal thinking...

They would cut off their nose to spite a conservative plastic surgeon who was qualified.

Freedom of Speech in the US is on the way out.

Elena Kagan will spend the next 30 years chipping away at it.

More from Dr. Katz:

“I am a Homophobe, and Proud.” Katz spoke with us about the article in 2005: “I’m not a bigot. I come to a moral judgment. My moral judgment is that certain behavior is evil and immoral. Its immoral because it kills people,” said Katz.

It makes sense to me.

“...postings defending homophobia and questioning the value of racial diversity efforts....”

Gee, ain’t liberal tolerance great???

I hope when I grow up, I can be just as tolerant as they are....

Was that wrong? Was that mean? Harsh? Do I care?

“.. and a manly Republican (like Palin or Bachmann) ought to say so..”

Just noticed that!
Funny!

Oh, let’s NOT solve the oil spill problem if it’s someone who is non-PC who might help solve it!

Isn't this the argument the Diversity Police are using when the Army discharges gays and lesbians who also have vital skills, like Mideast languages? But then, consistency and turnabout-is-fair-play have never been the lib's strong suits.

Good grief. The man just delivered a direct and personal insult against 99.375% of official Washington. Of course retaliation would be fast, and swift, and total.

That is why ENDA and indentity politics legislation is so dangerous. It gives the left even more power to take our most personal liberties away.

That’s very true.
However, I don’t think its the Liberals who are calling for discharging gays and lesbians from the military.

Maybe 0b0z0 regarded Katz’s views as an insult to Larry Sinclair, and he told Chu about it.
