Cohen&#8217;s rancid slander against gay people (they&#8217;re a threat to children, etc.), masquerading as &#8220;research,&#8221; is being used by advocates of a proposed law in Uganda that would allow the state to execute homosexuals. The 17-minute interview is worth watching if you want to see how an extremely smart and well-prepared interrogator can absolutely destroy a guest who is brazenly spouting baseless claims and patent falsehoods (the video is also posted below).<\/p>\n<p>[From <a href=\"http:\/\/www.salon.com\/news\/opinion\/glenn_greenwald\/2009\/12\/09\/maddow\/index.html\" ><cite>Glenn Greenwald &#8211; Salon.com<\/cite><\/a>]\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rachel Maddow today is receiving well-deserved praise for a devastating interview she conducted last night with Richard Cohen, an &#8220;ex-homosexual&#8221; therapist who is head of the &#8220;International Healing Foundation,&#8221; which purportedly helps gay people become straight.
