Howie's at it again!

Howard Dean, head screecher for the DNC, quotes the Bible, sort of, and in the same breath, advocates for same sex marriage. Ok, so this article by Jim Kouri is more about the so called discrimination in the tax code against same sex couples. Here's a clue Howie, the U.S. tax code discriminates against EVERYONE.
Chairman of the Democrat National Committee Howard Dean is supporting Charles Merrill and his same-sex partner Kevin Boyle in their civil disobedience against paying Federal Income Tax because they cannot have the same tax benefits as heterosexual married couples.
He really likes having his name in the papers, doesn't matter what the subject might be.
"We gays will gladly pay our taxes once the government stops discriminating against us and passes laws that allows us to marry the person[sic] we love. We deserve the same Federal and State benefits as other married citizens."
Guess what guys, you aren't married. You may have a partnership, but that's not marriage. When y'all manage to create life together and one of you gets pregnant, you let me know.
Then in true Howard Dean style of demonizing political opponents with unbridled hyperbole, he said, "We live in a time when this community and your families are the targets of meanspirited attacks by Republicans who put their own and their party's interests ahead of the national interest, when the President of the United States just this morning used his weekly radio address to endorse a Constitutional amendment that would introduce legalized discrimination in our Constitution. The Democrats will oppose that."
Yep, I'm a meany alright. Just because I don't believe in same sex marriage! So, here is Howie bringing up the Bible:
"While it is true that the Bible (largely the Old Testament) condemns homosexuality in a few places, it equally condemns eating shellfish. Jesus never mentions homosexuality. The bottom line is this: America is grappling with the discarding of old stereotypes about a group of people who have been part of our country since America has been a country. This is a painful process."
Ah yes, let's equate eating shellfish with homosexuality.
