Russian Family Values
The man being struck is Marco Capatto, a member of the European Parliment. He and Volker Beck, a member of the German Parliment, were beaten this year (Herr Beck was also beaten last year), by "militants of the extreme right" (and the police), on the occasion of Gay Pride Day. Parlimentarians Capatto and Beck were attempting to transmit to Louri Loujkov, Mayor of Moscow, a letter signed by 40 members of the European Parliment, which apparently read "beat the bearer".
I wish Senators Clinton and Obama had something intelligent to say about the so-called Defense of Marriage Act. Something that didn't sound like a values Republican speaking Russian.
