Typical


Add gay bashing to lying, pederasty, stupidity, foolishness...and the usual sins when describing your modern GOP:

Ben Stein, American Spectator:

On the one hand, we have a poor misguided Republican man who had a romantic thing for young boys. He sent them suggestive e-mail. I agree, that’s not great. … I hope it won’t come as a surprise to anyone that a big part of male homosexual behavior is interest in young boys. [Link]

Linda Harvey, WorldNetDaily:

Open or suspected homosexuals should never be elected. The problem with homosexuals is that they frequently don’t have common sense and don’t acknowledge appropriate boundaries. Weird sex, public displays of “affection” and nudity, and sex with youth are built into the “gay” sub-culture.

Jonah Goldberg, National Review:

The funny thing is that you would think the left — particularly the gay left — would be a bit more interested in not having 16 and 17 year old teenagers classified as young children for legal/sexual/political purposes. If that were the case, then a whole lot of dirty old men would need to be prosecuted for felonies when they pick up street hustlers. [Link]

Wall Street Journal, editorial:

But in today’s politically correct culture, it’s easy to understand how senior Republicans might well have decided they had no grounds to doubt Mr. Foley merely because he was gay and a little too friendly in emails. Some of those liberals now shouting the loudest for Mr. Hastert’s head are the same voices who tell us that the larger society must be tolerant of private lifestyle choices, and certainly must never leap to conclusions about gay men and young boys.

Tammy Bruce, political analyst:

All I want, frankly, is a gay person in office who is not a sexual compulsive. I mean, is that too much to ask for? [Fox News]

Cliff Kincaid, Accuracy In Meda:

In fact, the entire scandal might have been avoided if Foley’s homosexuality had been exposed and confronted, rather than protected, over the last several years. [Link]

The link to Oyster has the reaction of Gret Stet midget Tony Perkins:

"[House Leaders were] fearful of being seen as 'gay-bashing'..."

Looks like they managed to overcome their "fear" in a hurry, and commence an all-out assault of ugly, savage insults directed towards the gay and lesbian community.

But that's not all too surprising: the only tool (no pun intended) in the Groping Old Pervert party is, well, fear. And the leadership, including Ken Mehlman, assumes it works like a heat seeking missile (again, no pun intended) when directed towards the base (pun intended this time). So, why not give it a shot, especially when the media will suck it up, hook, line, sinker, rod and reel?

And there's always Plan B--it's an election year "conspiracy"--to sell to the mouth breathers.
