What does his being "anti-gay" have to do with being the top doctor? He won't be making any laws...

One of those groups, the Human Rights Campaign, has attacked Holsinger for what it calls his "anti-gay beliefs" and for his association with a church that has an ex-"gay" ministry. Both stances, says HRC, would conflict with his responsibilities as surgeon general.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.onenewsnow.com/2007/07/holsingers_critics_have_a_prob.php">The IRD spokesman says it seems as if critics of Holsinger want to prohibit all traditional Christians from holding public office. </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/166B430A-E742-4091-AB4E-BBF94DB5903B/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
