THE MADNESS OF THE BBC - AT 2:55 P.M. ET:  Reader Ken Braithwaite alerts us to the latest example of BBC madness.  This is multicultural sensitivity completely out of control.  From AP:

LONDON – Politicians are criticizing the BBC for inviting debate on whether homosexuals should face execution in Uganda.

The broadcaster launched an on-line debate over a proposed Ugandan law that would punish some homosexual acts by life imprisonment or death.

No matter how you feel about homosexuality, the idea that there can be a serious debate over whether a human being just be executed simply for being gay is sickening.  Now, presumably, the BBC is a left-wing operation.  But the left has a pecking order, and both multiculturalism and fawning over militant Islam rank way at the top.  Gays are under the bus, along with Christians, Jews, and democracy campaigners in Iran.

BBC's "Africa Have Your Say" Web site asked for people's views on whether Uganda has gone too far and whether there should be any laws against gays.

But several British politicians said Wednesday that the BBC should not treat the execution of gays as a legitimate topic for discussion.

Opposition lawmaker Lynne Featherstone has written to BBC executives seeking an apology and end to the Web discussion. "The BBC are only fanning the flames of hatred as many of the comments demonstrate," she says.

Spot on.  What frauds at the BBC.
