Nice chat the other night with Mike Rogers, “the most hated man on Capitol Hill”! Yes, he’s the outer of closeted conservatives and managing director of Raw Story.

Hi Susie,
I wanted to bring up a false assertion that was made by Mike on Monday’s show. He asserted that Palestinians beheaded gays, but I challenge you or him to locate any news reports of this type of despicable behavior actually occurring. I did a google news search for “Palestine gay behead” and returned no results. Having followed this issue closely for several years, I can say that I have never heard of any instances of this happening either, which is not to say that Palestinian society’s treatment of the LGBT community doesn’t deserve criticism. I think that in keeping with our factually accurate progressive journalism, you should point out this correction on the next show.

Thanks for that. I’d never heard of it, either.
