Bill "I'm being investigated by the SEC" Frist, a far right wing republican and early candidate for the presidential nomination, is going to one of the fave plays of Republicans in deep caca: Whip the base in a frenzy with bills targetting gays and flag-burning.
Frist knows that this bills will not pass, they haven't passed the first 20 trillion times righttards have tried to pass them. That isn't the point. The point is to get the Christian conservatives and the stuck-in-the-mud dinosaurs that are their bread and butter to vote against their best interests. Why? 'Cause divorced Republicans told 'em fags might destroy the "Sanctity of Marriage"! Because someone might exercise their 1st amendment rights and
set fire to cloth. Oh NOES!
Greenwald does a pretty good job of explaining this crap
