Funny stuff. Max Blumenthal visits a College Republican convention, and after hearing the expected GOP pro-war talking points ("what people don't understand is if it's not faught in iraq and we don't win over there, it's gonna happen here."), Blumenthal asks:
The results are hilarious.
Blumenthal doesn't just cover the war in his visit with the Chickenhawk College Republicans. When he interviews some Republicans about their feelings about gays, at first there's some old fashioned GOP anti-gay garbage. But it gets really interesting when a member of the College Republicans lets us know that he's been dealing with some suppressed feelings:
Not quite convincing... but funny to watch.
Anyway, here's a link to the video: Link
"If you support the war, why aren't you serving in the military?"

Republican Guy: "Everybody at one time in their life has had the inclination towards the other -- uh -- towards the same sex. . . . But just because you have the inclination does not mean you're gay because if you have the inclination because you're curious and stuff like that. . . . But if you accept it, and then suppress your feelings and you pray about it to god, and know that you're not -- are are so much stronger than some other people."
Max Blumenthal: "Have you accepted it?"
Republican Guy: "Yes, I have accepted it, I have prayed about it to God, and I know for a fact that I am not gay."
Not quite convincing... but funny to watch.
