[Excerpts from a report on her pro "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" testimony]
Donnelly treated the panel to an extraordinary exhibition of rage. She warned of "transgenders in the military." She warned that lesbians would take pictures of people in the shower. She spoke ominously of gays spreading "HIV positivity" through the ranks.
"We're talking about real consequences for real people," Donnelly proclaimed. Her written statement added warnings about "inappropriate passive/aggressive actions common in the homosexual community," the prospects of "forcible sodomy" and "exotic forms of sexual expression," and the case of "a group of black lesbians who decided to gang-assault" a fellow soldier.
[...]
But it was Donnelly, founder and president of the Center for Military Readiness, who amused lawmakers the most. Snyder asked Darrah about Donnelly's reference to "passive-aggressive actions common in the homosexual community," saying, "I'm almost tempted to ask you to demonstrate."
Darrah was stumped. "Like a woman who is stared at, her breasts are stared at," Donnelly explained. She further explained the "absolutely devastating" effect of homosexuals "introducing erotic factors" and made a comparison to Sen. Larry Craig's adventure at the Minneapolis airport. She said admitting gays to the military would be "forced cohabitation" and a policy of "relax and enjoy it."

How awful...(assuming that she doesn't, you know. share...)
gays spreading "HIV positivity"
Sigh. These morons will perpetually live 20 years behind the curve, won't they? HIV =/= gay exclusive disease.
prospects of "forcible sodomy"
Making the slope a little too slippery, there...

WUT?
"Like a woman who is stared at, her breasts are stared at."
This is an explanation? I'm still trying to figure out what it actually means, and how it's relevant.
If I were an enemy soldier, I'd be scared shitless to see a platoon of horny, gay soldiers headed right at me.
I say, give 'em some Viagra and a gun, then turn 'em loose. :)
I was watching the congressional board CSPAN, and was so proud when a guy from my state (Democratic, of course) stood up and was just like, this is ridiculous, this shouldn't even be a question, we're wasting tax dollars on even having this stupid board, and you're all trying to use your hate to keep brave young men and women out of the military.
If somebody wants to VOLUNTEER for the army, I mean seriously, who care who they sleep with?
EDIT: I will leave the above error, simply because it amusingly reminds me of how LoneWolf writes ALL OF THE TIME.
"Like a woman who is stared at, her breasts are stared at"
Wow...thats passive aggressive lesbian behavior? Then I must be a lesbian...heh heh
Wait, so if I get this right.. women having their breasts stared at is a passive-aggressive action by lesbians?
So uh, what about all those straight guys?
She warned that lesbians would take pictures of people in the shower.
Why?
She spoke ominously of gays spreading "HIV positivity" through the ranks.
That's just as likely as HIV positive men giving it to women in the military.
Hey Dipshit Donnelly, hate to burst your bubble of hate, Poptart, but there are gays in the military RIGHT THIS MINUTE (!) and none of this shit your spewing goes on.
How 'bout this? You kick out all the gays from the military, then YOU do ALL their jobs.
If someone's willing to be a soldier, let them do it! Or stop advertising the military as a way to get ahead and get money for college.
The following is a demonstration of how a proper judge should react to this scenario.
Judge: ...Jesus Christ. How the fuck are you a functioning adult? How do you survive in society without breaking everything? Get out of that fucking chair! I'm afraid the sheer weight of your ignorance will shatter it. The fact that you're inside a government building being asked questions makes me suicidal. Just, just get out! Please, I can't withstand it any further! Your being able to run an ORGANIZATION of ANY kind means that this is a universe without justice, run by Lovecraftian horrors. You are a cosmic drain on society, and indeed the fabric of reality itself. Please, madame, for the good of society please live in a shack out in the woods and never speak to anyone ever again.
"Like a woman who is stared at, her breasts are stared at," Donnelly explained. She further explained the "absolutely devastating" effect of homosexuals "introducing erotic factors..."
I guess we'd better start ejecting women from the military. Men have a habit of staring at women's breasts, and having women serving next to men definitely introduces "erotic factors". Besides, we expect anyone who joins the military to be more robust than the average person. The way this report is structured makes military women out to be little girls in their prettiest party dresses.
"exotic forms of sexual expression"
I've asked the BF about this, and he says sure, but give him a day or two to get everything set up. Now he's making a shopping list.
Thanks, Elaine! We'll send you the pictures!
She spoke ominously of gays spreading "HIV positivity...
Africa has a high rate of HIV/AIDS, but you're not so hatefull to them.
a group of black lesbians who decided to gang-assault" a fellow soldier.
Yes, lets blame an entire group of people for what a few people did. I once read about a preacher who killed his wife, do all preachers kill their wives?

They forgot to mention the part where this woman was laughed out of the room.
I don't really see any faulty reasoning of a magical or otherwise supernatural origin.
So how is this fundie? Just because this lady is afraid of someone staring at breasts? Hell, most of the women I know get mad at me for staring at their breasts!
I get it, while I was wasting my life on education, stupid people were taking over.
Fuck you retards, why are you more successful than me, I work hard am smart and my rewards are debt, long hours and starvation ?
This woman is an example of people who simply don't deserve their position, like Paris Hilton and Ann Coulter.
Lesbians taking pictures of women in the showers? What the hell are you talking about? Wouldn't anyone get disciplined for doing that?
I think it's about time that the military had shared bathrooms like on Battlestar Galactica anyway. No time for privacy when you have humanity to protect.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
