Armstrong Williams-Self Loathing Gay?

[grumpy old fart]

In 1997, Williams was sued in a massive $200,000 50-charge sexual harassment suit for repeatedly kissing his once male trainer Stephen Gregory who he had promoted repeatedly into his talk-show staff. Gregory claimed Williams had also grabbed his buttocks and genitals and climbed into bed with him on business trips. After rebuffing him, Gregory alleged, the pundit retaliated by reducing his pay and subsequently firing him. <snip>

Williams failed to get the suit dismissed in 1998. His once-trainer presented an affidavit from a man who claimed Armstrong propositioned him in 1996 and also had testimony from an ex-intern who said he had brushed off Williams’ advances his first day on the job. <snip>

The columnist settled the case out of court in early 1999.

6. Best to drop that line....

11. Self -loathing seems to be a requirement to be on the Bush team

IT is rampant throughout the personnel inthe administration, and it not just about sexual preference..it is just some sort of psychological fact of their lives.
I think the philosophy attracts self-loathing people at all levels. Ann Coulter, O'Lielly, Savage, Malkin...alot of the mouthpieces are also very self-loathing for whatever reason.
It would seem that even at the street-person level, it may attract this kind of person, because it gives them scapegoats on which to focus their hate and anger, someone other than themselves.

13. Quite The List of Under-Hung, Needy Bottoms

Princess Tiny-Meat Matthew's fascination with *'s stuffed chimp crotch is proof enough for me.

Remember the episode of Hard(ly Any) Ball(s), where Testosterone Challenged Tiny-Meat, Miss Mary Muscle-Glutes, and Lady Liddy cooed and gushed over *'s padded trade?

It's all so overwhelmingly obvious!

Further proof, maybe someone can post the shot of Liddy relaxing in the red, white and blue thong?

5. Did Williams ever advocate anti-gay policies or legislation?

If not, these kind of stories are out of line. PLEASE don't get me wrong, if he's a hypocrit, I'm all for outing the SOB. If he's just a conservative who also happens to be a closet case, then this is NOT OK.

I hope people can see the difference.

7. Dude is lock step with the gay bashers.......

"Sadly, we have reached a point where political correctness has supplanted our faith. In this day and age, any preacher who explains to his congregation that homosexuality is a sin will have hell to pay from the gay Mafia and the liberal media."

9. That qualifies IMHO

Out his hypocritical ass! :)

16. Quote from the Orig.Post

*******QUOTE*******

At the time, the Williams had just teased an explosive quote from then-Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott who said that gays should be treated like those who have a problem with “alcohol … or sex addiction … or kleptomaniacs.”

Williams roundly supported this view.

8. this angle stinks

and is unnecessary. Who cares about this crap in light of the recent revelations?

[grumpy old fart]

10. Who cares?

I care about any "commentator" that hypocritically advocates hate. And such lies, hypocrisy, should be exposed. Besides, the "recent revelations" are being given a big pass in the MSM.

12. Just ask the Cheneys

Repug gays are supposed to feel inferior and stay in the closet!
and if they come out, its disrespectful to point out this fact, because if no-one notices, there's always time to shove you back into the closet.:eyes:

To imply a broad a generalization about the sexual orientation of a group or person is against DU rules.
