Doesn't this sound familiar?

It's too much of a stretch to compare circa 1960 attitudes about blacks to circa 2004 attitudes about gays and lesbians, right? It is.

On Monday, the New York Times reported that during campaign 2004, Republicans targeted their campaign advertising where it impacted most - makes sense, right? Right. Republicans are smart about stuff like that. The report goes on to list the top shows among Republicans. Near the top of the list and especially popular with Republican women - is the NBC sitcom "Will & Grace."

It's far too overboard to say something like "they're good enough to entertain us, just don't ask for rights," or "they're funny to laugh at, just don't love each other PLEASE." Far too overboard, right?

Forget I said anything.
