Apparent anti-gay comment from liberal author mysteriously vanishes

Mind you, I have no proof, but I imagine that the Fox Newsers, like Kristol and co., profess and promote religious faith must more than they practice it. They caricature liberal elites for "looking down" on religion while they themselves only pretend to look up to it, like Noel Coward imagining himself a nun.

Now check the quote here.

Looks like an incomplete quotation this week? The punctuation appears changed and some text is missing. Why was (what appears to be) an "anti-gay" comment stripped from the quote?

"Proabortion" Specter? I think not.

In their world, you’re either with them or against them, and since Specter isn’t the same type of hard-liner, and even — gasp — supports abortion rights, he is therefore a pariah, to be hated rather than supported.
