Marine commandant talks about segregating barracks, again

Last time we wrote about increased talk from the Pentagon about the possibility of segregating gay troops - racist 1950s bigot style - the Pentagon (and the White House) acted as if we were nuts. You know those bloggers, lie lies lies. Even some other bloggers poo-poo'd our report, believing the denials of a Pentagon spokesman who has lied to our community before.

Well, if they're lies, then the military head of the entire US Marine Corps is now repeating those lies. More from AMERICAblog Gay:

[A]s the White House and the Pentagon spokesman told us, repeatedly and quite vociferously when we first reported on this concern, it's not only untrue, but they just can't figure out where we come up with this crazy stuff.

Uh huh. Perhaps we get it from the head of the Marine Corps. Here's ThinkProgress' latest:

On a different, but related subject, Conway suggested that if the “Don’t ask, don’t tell” law is repealed, the Marines may consider allowing Marines not to share quarters with homosexuals.

Conway said the Marines may make such housing arrangements “voluntary” to accommodate any “moral concerns.” He said many Marines are “very religious” and because of their moral concerns “don’t want to room” with homosexuals.

But Conway stressed that if the law is repealed, the Marines would take the lead in implementing it. “We cannot be seen as dragging our feet. We’ve got two wars to fight. We’ll implement it and move on,” said Conway.

See, he's not talking about segregating gay and straight troops, the way the bigots segregated white and blacks fifty years ago. He's simply talking about letting the majority segregate itself from the minority, and not permitting the minority to integrate itself if the majority objects, just like racists did to blacks fifty years ago. See the difference? Me neither.

I'll say it again. We have an inter-racial President. How is anyone in this administration keeping their job after advocating segregation, repeatedly? Is there no limit to the affront one can make against this President, and get away with it?
