WaPo Promotes Gay-Art Exhibitors Calling Conservatives ‘American Taliban,’ Implying Nazism
The Washington Post once again promoted the cultural leftists fighting the Smithsonian's removal of an ants-on-Christ video from a gay-left exhibit at the National Portrait Gallery. In a story headlined “Video outcry flares anew,” art critic Philip Kennicott covered a very one-sided panel discussion in New York with the exhibit's very political activists. The nod to conservatives came at the beginning, with William Donohue of the Catholic League telling Kennicott he wasn't going to this event — where the mudslinging was in full swing by curators Jonathan Katz and David Ward: Katz lamented that gays and lesbians were “once again being offered as raw meat” to political activists and the Catholic League, which he accused of being a hate group and anti-Semitic. “We have an American Taliban that we have not called as such ,” he said… Katz and Ward said they now worry about the lasting effect on the Portrait Gallery and on other institutions that might think twice about shows depicting gay subject matter, as well as on the dispiriting effect of criticism from the left at a time when the museum and cultural world should be mounting a concerted resistance to the right. read more
