They will turn it around and call us Gay Bashers...Watchem!

[spanone]

Someone just tried this very thing in a current thread. These are insidious people we are dealing with.

[davidinalameda]

1. which thread

and I haven't called anyone a gaybasher, yet

[Beetwasher]

2. Yup

Look for lots of people coming in here and screaming "GAY BASHER" like it's our fault Gannon is a gay hooker and as if there's no hypocrisy in that fact.

[davidinalameda]

17. is he a "gay hooker"

and even if he is, why dwell on that fact--why not focus on the fact that he lied about his name, credential, etc

and let me ask you something--what's wrong with being a gay hooker

[Beetwasher]

18. Nothing's Wrong With It

I have no problems with it. However, it's perfectly legitimate to call them on the hypocrisy.

He's a gay hooker (and he is, look at Americablog) who published anti-gay screed. This WH is vehemently anti-gay and yet they used a known gay hooker to do their dirty work.

THEY made an issue out of being gay. THEY make the distinction. They OWN the hypocrisy.

It's legitimate to point it out.

3. Wait...

I'm all confused. First we are pushing the gay agenda... and now we are gay bashers? WTF? I never get these memos so I just don't know what to do...

[SammyBlue]

11. Just like Kerry is a flip flopper and Bush just changes his mind

Or Rove does.

control the language of the debate, you control the debate. It's a simple equation that those assholes on the right have basically adopted and it works.

Torture -- Abuse
Pre-Natal Clinic -- Abortion Clinic
Progressive -- unAmerican liberalism
Standing on Democratic Beliefs -- obstructionist
Asking for an Investigation in Republican wrong doing -- practicing hate politics.

It's all the same shit with these people.

We need to do to them what they do to us.

4. 'The pot calling the kettle black' would be the proper return quip. nt

[Oreo]

5. Not gay bashers.... prostitute-bashers

it doesn't matter if he's gay. He is a fake journalist prostitute who gained access to the President of the United States after being credentiled by someone in the WH. Oh... and he may have been involved in the Plame case.

What more do we need here??

[ICantBelieve]

6. We need to bend over backwards

to not be gay bashers. We are better than that. We need to demonstrate it clearly so as not to give the right wing any more fodder.

We should go with "unvetted" not "gay hooker".

[progressoid]

7. It's already happening - I heard some bozo call into RW hate radio

and say that gays in the military are Clinton's fault.

[Spazito]

8. LOL that means we are scaring the shit out of them...

and that's good news, imo. I say everyone should just keep digging, there is more out there, lots more.

[BOSSHOG]

9. Wouldn't you think that good christians

would reach out to the president and try to heal him from this vile stain on his administration? And isn't it a chuckle to call us gay bashers? It must really suck being a dumbass fucking conservative who hasn't been able to look in the mirror for four years and has to always blame someone else for their faults. Will they call us budget bashers next? This Veteran says bring it on.

[Nite Owl]

10. Just like they called us racists

for not backing Condi and Gonzoles. It's the hypocrisy not the color or sexual preference. They are the ones who say that they are against affirmative action and gay marriage.

[Joanne98]

12. SO! I'm tired of closeted Rethugs! Let's clean the closet.

[CornField]

13. Cool - we can say they have NO RESPECT FOR THE LAW (Jeff's a criminal)

[Bouncy Ball]

14. THEY ARE THE GAY BASHERS.

Remind them of it over and over and over.

And then get back to the REAL points of this story thus far:

Jim Guckert, a man with NO journalistic credentials, a man running and participating in male prostitution sex rings, became a republican operative (a party with ANTI-GAY hatred and the legislation to back that assertion up), got a DAILY press pass to have access to the WHITE HOUSE briefing room for TWO YEARS and has, according to him, MET with the president TWICE.

Then there's the whole did he or did he not have access to the Valerie Plame documents, which makes it even worse.

Then there's the whole "who was paying him?" angle.

Then there's the whole question of WHY were his questions so horribly worded as to be so obviously biased? THAT is what got him any outside attention in the first place!!!!

Keep harping on the really important stuff. Ignore the deflection. They can try it, but it won't work.

[Democrat Dragon]

15. Personally, I think the only reason why rethugs bother gays is because

many are liberal. I also think there are a lot more Rethugs in the log cabin than we think. Perhaps they think that homosexuality is something reserved for the elite?

[Swamp Rat]

16. You are right...

but so fucking what?!?

All it means is that it is WORKING! :D

Republican military men are, in reality, gay prostitutes and it goes ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE!!! :evilgrin:

As for knuckle-dragging freepers, they are a walking textbook definition of irony... and if any of you creeps are reading this: GO GET A LOBOTOMY!
