Lesbian Platoons

Representative Gary Ackerman (D) of Bayside, New York:

Well, it seems that the military has gone around and fired a whole bunch of people who speak foreign languages — Farsi and Arabic, etc. — after they trained them in their foreign language schools for 63 weeks, and presumably they all pass all kinds of security things, and many of them told on themselves and were fired. For some reason, the military seems more afraid of gay people than they are against terrorists, because they’re very brave with the terrorists. I mean, if the terrorists ever got a hold of this information, they’d get a platoon of lesbians to chase us out of Baghdad.

Tip thanks to Thing Progress. The quote is priceless. Ackerman does have a point that we should not shun homosexuals, especially if they can speak farsi and Arabic.

However, depicting a scene of American troops being chased by lesbians is pejorative in the extreme.

There's a great quote in the comment section of digg.com under this story from c1966x:

Well... I'm sure the terrorists would love to get a bunch of gays together to fight us. The problem is that under Sharia the gays are already... DEAD.
