FDA bans gay men from donating blood, tissue & organs. So are we on the way to a new holocaust?

187. False equivalence saying the US is bad therefore don't cast stones.

It was playing off of this OP which was not as hyperbolic as the OP made it seem. Literally, quite literally, the holocaust was caused by deflection and diminishment and "it's not as bad as it seems" type of language. A shitload of SS were in on it then. The German people were aware of what was going on.

OP was more concerned that the anti-Russia gay oppression commentary is a "reaction to Snowden" when the reality is that if Snowden wasn't there we'd still be discussing it because the Olympics are there, too. So it's a big deal what they're doing and it merits discussion.

What wouldn't be happening is that Russia wouldn't be defended if Snowden didn't happen. Instead, we would rightly, as DUers, condemn this crap from the start and move on. The reason it's a big deal is that Snowden defenders think an attack on Russia, somehow, is an attack on Snowden. From my POV most of those denouncing Russia's anti-gay stuff are supporters of Snowden.
