14. Not wishing to beat a dead horse with a carrot and stick...
...but doesn't outing presume the person in question is hiding the fact?

Or is that not relevant to the discussion?

18. Limbaugh and Rove's sexual history is uncertain...
... but all the others on the list are pretty widely thought to be sexually active gay men.

6. I'll Out Some Folks When You Have Proof Of Something!
until then, it is little better than a homophobic witchhunt...

7. So attacking anti-gay politicians for their hypocrisy is homophobic?
Umm... okay.

9. No, But Doing So Without Proof That They Are Gay Is!
Edited on Wed Jun-15-05 02:33 PM by DistressedAmerican
Based on what do you ASSUME these folks are gay? Their opposition to homosexuals? What?

Name a person on your list and some solid evidence that they are gay.

There are plenty of legit grounds to attack these homophobis assholes. Innuendo and baseless speculation are not one of them.

12. I believe there are some stories
floating around about these folks being seen in certain establishments.

That and every gay man on the blogs declares that their gaydar goes off. :grin:

13. Rumors Little More...
Edited on Wed Jun-15-05 02:35 PM by DistressedAmerican
I'm not in anway saying they are not. Just that I have never seen any proof. If anyone has some, I'd love to see it.

Hell, At least bring Gannon in to ID some of them!

Something...

22. I believe that's what they mean by outing.
Finding and making public that proof. Just going to a media outlet and saying "Ken Mehlman is GAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY" isn't gonna turn any heads (except security, perhaps) anyway...

15. David Drier is barely in the closet
He is well known as a homosexual in and out of his party and doesn't even deny it although he won't come out either. He actually says it isn't anyone's business.

Ken Mehlman is beyond the rumor stage.

Limbaugh is really damned by association and also with the fact that Drudge is gay and that gets confused as "random conservative idiot" who is gay. Kind of like Mike Piazza getting rumors because no one could say that the actual gay guy was Robby Alomar. The press couldn't even say that they knew who the real met was because then there would have been a process of elimination. See hos stupid the whole thing becomes if there is a closet at all?


Someone in the White House was getting banged by Jeff Guckert and this is a particularly hostile White House. It is as germaine as the fact that Strom Thurmon had a black child.

Plus its kind of funny, in a really cynical way.

BTW, Lee Atwater was gay but he's dead so it probably wouldn't hae much of an impact today.

19. I changed Limbaugh to Drudge.
He is much more demonstrably gay - constantly prowls gay bars in South Beach, and loves to be coy about his sexuality.

17. Okay.
Ken Mehlman: Several of his law school chums claim he's gay, and he refuses to say whether he is or isn't.
http://www.blogactive.com/2004/11/take-action-is-he-or-isnt-he-what.html

David Dreier: Lived with his male chief of staff, widely thought to be gay
http://www.laweekly.com/ink/04/44/news-ireland.php

Scott McClellan: Was a regular at gay bars in Austin.

http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/02/021405whAide.htm



etc. etc. etc.


If these were nice normal people, I would be completely against outing them, but since they are gay-bashing hypocrites, they should be fair game, IMO.

You say that the lack of a smoking gun makes it more homophobic. How? It may be unwise, or unfounded rumormongering, but the only homophobia I see is coming from the hypocrites in question.

I think it's perfectly reasonable to ask someone with rabidly anti-gay positions whether or not they themselves are gay.

If someone was pushing for a huge rollback in the capital gains tax, would it not be fair to ask whether or not they stood to personally gain from the tax cut?

10. Ask Jeff Gannon which one was his favorite.
Jeff Gannon should write a tell all book, How good a lover was Rove? Is Limbaugh's tool really a loveable little fuzzball?

Come on Jeff, the right wing fundie base needs to hear the truth about their heros.

26. Phelps *MUST* be a repressed gay.
What on earth else could explain his bizarre lifetime of obsession with gays, when there are so many other kinds of sins that God is just as likely to hate people for?

25. DU needs it's own Private Investigator.
We could send him/her out on missions to get pics of these people and lots of evidence they could never deny. :bounce: They could also be used anytime we need some info that's being buried by the repukes. Any PI DUers here?
