Ethics

Mike Adams and His Usual Bigotry

By Ed Brayton

Of all the voices on the right, Mike Adams is one of the most grating to me. He's virulently anti-gay and he's a professor of criminology at the University of North Carolina as well as a columnist for various right wing outlets. His latest column is absolutely appalling in its casual equation of homosexuality with child molestation and the obvious leaps of logic required to justify that equation -- all prompted by a deep-seated hatred for gay people that is palpably obvious.

The story he is discussing is even more appalling if the charges are true. A former Duke University professor is charged with soliciting men to rape his adopted five year old son. If true, that's about as heinous a crime as one can imagine and the man deserves to suffer enormously for it.
