So shrieks the siren over at Drudge Report.

Before anyone freaks out, take a moment to read the original document Ms. Miers filled out. And recall that it was 1989 when "civil rights" didn't mean "gay marriage" -- it had a more traditional definition pertaining to things like having the right to live where one pleased, and vote. Who opposes those kind of civil rights for law-abiding citizens?

Whether one agrees with them or not, the responses aren't those of an agenda-driven raving liberal. Note that Ms. Miers opposed decriminalizing even private homosexual behavior between consenting adults -- and, in a question about whether the City of Dallas should outlaw employment discrimination against homosexuals, her answer was as follows:

"I believe employers should be able to pick the best qualified person for any position to be filled considering all relevant factors." Who disagrees with this?

Read the document for yourself.
