Conservatives have a real problem with really bad reductio ad absurdum nonsense, especially when they are losing. Take this 24-karat gold pated turd of a loser here:
No more rainbow flags, America!” declares anti-LGBT activist Linda Harvey, who offers up an unhinged rant in BarbWire today about why Americans should take down the LGBT rainbow flag along with the Confederate battle flag.
Harvey, the head of the far-right group Mission America, writes that homosexuality is just as “evil” as slavery, adding that “‘LGBT’ lifestyles will ultimately be revealed to be a destructive blight on our nation.” Similarly, according to Harvey, the LGBT rainbow flag is just as offensive as the Confederate flag since the Pride flag’s “hateful colors” push “depravity” and “bigotry.”
“If only we had that kind of leadership now in Washington as we had in Abraham Lincoln, a Republican, who delivered the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863,” Harvey continues. “We need an Emancipation Proclamation now to free America from the tyranny of sodomy.”
Radio host Bryan Fischer also demanded that the LGBT Pride flag come down with the stars-and-bars.
This is literally the "Isn't the NAACP racist and shouldn't it be outlawed?" argument applied to the LGBTQ community, with a helpful dollop of not even being close to reasonable.
But this is how bad they are losing the argument on the Confederacy right now.

One would think the rather obvious difference between non-consensual slavery and consensual sexual relations between consenting adults would occur to these braying buffoons. But then, thought and the Tea Party always were strangers.
“We need an Emancipation Proclamation now to free America from the tyranny of sodomy.”
Sweet Dennis Hastert at a Slip 'n Slide, I'd love to see the wording of that document!
It's all about the butt-secks with these dolts.
