4. This sentence demeans every legitimate critic of Hagel's position on gays

The Republican former senator from Nebraska should and probably will be confirmed by the Senate, despite irresponsible claims that he is anti-Semitic, anti-Israel, anti-gay and a coddler of Iran.

Every charge save one in that sentence is false. Only the anti gay one is true. I presume the writer of the piece knows that. He chose to smear Hagel's legitimate critics by lumping them with the right wing crack pots.
