Logic would tell you that the Log Cabin republicans would be treated like gods in the party. After all, they are victims of bigotry and being an actual victim in the party that plays the role of victim at every turn should elevate you to hero status. Obviously this is not true.
From the Carpetbagger Report:
The Texas Eagle Forum called Norquist's presence at the gay Republican group's fundraiser "traitorous," adding, "If he was a serious economic conservative, Grover Norquist would not have accepted the invitation or the honorarium for speaking at a fund-raiser for a group bent on the destruction of traditional families."
The American Family Association of Michigan more or less accused Norquist of political treason, saying that it would urge its supporters "to withhold their future support until Grover 'takes the pledge' to no longer give aid and comfort to homosexual activist groups intent on undermining traditional marriage and the family."
Look, Grover Norquist would speak at an Osama bin Laden pep rally as long as the check cleared. What did the fundies expect? Let me let any fundies that are reading this in on Washington's dirty little secret. You guys are considered to be backwoods snake-handling goat fuckers by the pro-business part of the republican party. As with the recent Supreme Court nominations, you get the table scraps the dog wouldn't eat.
