On the Tuesday edition of his radio show, The Glenn Beck Program, Beck decried the statements made the previous day by former U.S. senator Alan Simpson of Wyoming, himself a Republican.
"We have homophobes in our party. That's disgusting to me," Simpson told Chris Matthews on MSNBC's Hardball. Simpson cited the "don't ask, don't tell" policy as an example of Republican homophobia.
Beck and a sidekick pointed out, correctly, that DADT was enacted under Democratic president Bill Clinton, but they failed to mention that it was repealed by another Democrat, President Barack Obama, while Republicans fought to maintain it.
