Why do extremist talking-point robot whackjobs keep getting airtime?

since when did focus on the family become the great arbiter of u.s. public opinion...?
Republicans did not respond to early warnings in the Foley scandal because "liberals treasure homosexuality," according to a conservative family activist.

"[M]ore and more, homosexuality is something that liberal politicians and the Hollywood set prizes," said Tom Minnery, Vice President of Public Policy for Focus on the Family.

"I suspect," Minnery continued, speaking to CNN's Kyra Phillips, "that may be why the Republican leadership did not act faster to clamp down on Mark Foley."

"treasure" homosexuality...? WTF...?!?! if liberals "treasure" anything, it's the great richness of the human condition and knowing that loving and wonderful people can be found everywhere, in every size, color, and orientation, but the day that gays, in particular, become "treasured" is a day i doubt i will live to see... it sounds about as mindlessly dumb as saying that focus on the family "treasures" heterosexuality... what...? oops... never mind...
