Is Ken Mehlman Gay???

[liberaliraqvet26]

After watching him this morning I had my suspicions, then I found this article. With all the Dean bashing of the last few months it would be nice to out this hypocrite jackass in the MSM. Interesting reading...

1. Was I supposed to care?

[knowbody0]

4. like minds,

see next post.
welcome to DU Alien8ed

[Alien8ed]

19. Thanks, knowbody!

Wanna do "Goodnight Moon"?

"Goodnight room. Goodnight moon. Goodnight to the light and the red balloon..... Goodnight comb, and goodnight brush. Goodnight knowbody. Goodnight mush....."

Beats thinking about some idiot's personal life, doesn't it?

[knowbody0]

21. who they "do"

is as interesting to me as how many b.m.'s they have a week.
goodnight day. goodnight Alien8ed

[knowbody0]

2. why does anyone care?

[napi21]

5. Because of the PUb stance on Gay marriage and gays in general.

They preach against it all the time, so if some "star" in the Party is part of something they are so much against, doesn't it make sense to point that out?

Kinda like Santorum's right hand aide being openly gay. Check what Santorum has said in the past!

[zulchzulu]

16. In many ways, who does care?

Yep, Drudge is gay. So is Mehlman. So was J. Edgar Hoover... so was Joe McCarthy...

[Independent_Liberal]

I heard rumors that he was...

I'm not sure if they're true or not.

[liberaliraqvet26]

3. to show the righties who their leader is

[splat@14]

6. Idiots come in all stripes. It would be pretty funny to see him

"come out" for whatever reason to further demonstrate the hypocrisy of his party.

[msongs]

7. gay = jovial, light hearted, care free?? n/t

[Glorfindel]

10. No, as in self-loathing male homosexual hypocrite...

who is willing to participate in the bashing and relegating to second-class citizenship of his fellow gay Americans to advance an evil Repuke-Neocon-Theofascist agenda. I HOPE he's not, but if he is, he should be publicly exposed and subjected to the scorn and hatred he so richly deserves. And I'm not a vindictive person. Really.
:evilgrin:

[AuntieM1957]

20. damn, that's a relief

cause you might really not like him. If you were vindictive, that is.

LOL

:yoiks:

8. "Mehlman Gay???"

It should be pointed out to every RWer, so they can freak out about it.

Anti gay marriage, "family values" dumkoffs nedd to mull this over...

[Ms. K]

9. I wouldn't be surprised.

But then, I still get e-mails from the RNC that are merely talking points from Mehlman.

I've never, ever liked him. He's a sleazy jerkoff, and he reminds me of a weasel.

[jmcon007]

11. It has nothing to do with his sexuality......but his credibility.

He's made a living bashing gays....that's why it matters.

[prodigal_green]

12. probably

that he is also a republican is no more surprising than a woman, racial minority or non-christian being a republican. Self-hating can strike anybody.

15. "Some people" say he's gay

I'm sorry, I was having a Faux moment.

[Sparkly]

17. There are women republicans, there are black republicans, there are poor

republicans -- no doubt there are gay republicans, but it's equally baffling why any of them are republicans. :shrug:

[AuntieM1957]

18. What Does It matter?

As progressives, it's just not important to us.

It bothers the other side - not us.

Frankly, I don't care if Ken likes to do it with watermelons.

I do care that he's a lying cheating scumbag with offensive moral and political views.

[Warren DeMontague]

24. It matters because of the hypocrisy.

Rick Santorum wants people to respect the privacy of his gay communications director- while he simultaneously argues that there is no "right to privacy" when it comes to sex, sexual orientation, and reproductive rights- furthermore, he forcefully argues that the state should have the power to arrest people for engaging in consensual, adult gay sex.

So he can't have it both ways. Either his communications director is an American Citizen who should be left alone about his sexuality, or -as Santorum has argued- he's a criminal.

Same with Mehlman. He shills for a party that wants to put gays in prison, and that publicly credited their last election 'victory' to, among other things, running AGAINST gays and supporters of gay rights. So he can't have it both ways, either.

[caligirl]

22. Sometime last year he was caught at a gay web site posting.

MSm ignored it, it was all over the blogs. Hypocrit that he is.

[Warren DeMontague]

23. Absolutely NOT!

Where do you get these CRAZY ideas?

[Griffy]

26. YES HE is.. I get this from someone that knows...

the LBGT rawstory.. used to be rawstoryQ.. Mike Rodgers is after self-lothing gays working for the repugs... he is gay!

like Santorums aid... and others...

28. I was kidding.

I mean, look at that picture.

[LeftCoast]

25. Oh for fuck's sake

If you can't understand how offensive this post is, there's just no hope for you.

:nuke:

27. The Ends Don't Justify The Means

I'm glad I'm not the only person here who feels violating someone's right to privacy to score a political point. I was not thrilled when Kerry mentioned (the already "out") Cheney daughter to make a point when it was unnecessary.

[Warren DeMontague]

30. Is it too much to ask that, if someone like Cheney's daughter is already

out, people not act like he was insulting her by mentioning what everyone already knows?

That was the most absurd part of that whole Charade. Lynn Cheney griping about "How dare he call my daughter gay".

Yeah, well, she is. And some people in this country are working to make it so that's not a big deal, but your husband isn't one of them.


And it isn't 'unnecessary' to make any of these points... not as long as gay people are still routinely discriminated against in this country, they can't marry or enjoy the same rights as the rest of us; and part of what makes that discrimination easier is when people think of Gays and Lesbians as "those people" instead of members of their family, their friends, their co-workers.

I couldn't give a flyin' philadelphia fuck if someone is gay, or straight- but when they are an active part of an entity with a blatantly anti-gay agenda like the Bush administration or the Republican Party, fuck yes it becomes pertinent because it crosses the line into hypocrisy.

The minute someone says these are BAD people because they're gay, like Republicans and Religious Right types are wont to do, then I will agree that it's out of line- but I do COMPLETELY think it's legitimate to say that they're hypocrites.

[TankLV]

29. And I should care, why?

Now, he IS a LYING HYPOCRITICAL WEASLING SON OF A BITCH, but we all know that - he IS a REPUKE after all.

[Warren DeMontague]

31. It's the Hypocrisy, Stupid. n/t
