Fortunately pretty far off the scale

Here's a rising star in the firmament of right-wing flamers: one Michael Marcavage. George Bush is too far to the left. He believes the government's responsibility to to fulfill Old Testament law and execute homosexuals. He is oddly obsessed, in fact, with homosexuals. And a 25-year-old virgin. The article includes an entertaining interview with Marcavage's former college roommate, who says, "If you don't agree with what he says, he condemns you."

In a way, the election of Bush protects the rest of us from shits like this. You can bet that if Kerry won (or if Gore had been, you know, re-elected), the far-right would be even more invigorated, as they were with Clinton in office. Now that the Republicans run everything, the brightest flamers like this Marcavage guy are in the gutter. Still, we'll see more of him in the next thirty years.
