Gays funded Howard Dean’s Early Campaign

Newsmax has its panties in a wad (pun intended) over the LGBT community contributing to Dean's campaign. I wonder if they're intending on labelling him the "gay-lover" candidate?

1. I hope they do

That would be a label I'd proudly get behind.

Dean, the Gay Loving candidate.

2. maybe they can fight it out

with the "Dean secretly hates gays" contingent on the left. :D

HUH??

No one sent me that memo. Normally we get memos on what products to buy, where to shop, what schools to "convert" kids at and so on. I must have missed this one.

3. This Explains Where Limbaugh Got His "Facts"

This smelled like a NewsMax story......

11. Limbaugh, Newsmax

and some DUers making the same insinuations.

13. Blastfax. I predicted as much last night. n/t

4. Geez, what will NewsHax think of next?

"Blacks funded Sharpton & Braun campaigns?"
"Jews give a Kosher kickstart to Lieberman campaign"
"Vegetarian Pacifists Bankrolled Kucinich"
"Sons of Millworkers Associtaion backs Edwards" ???

Just like a rightwing shitrag to appeal to base hatreds within their own ranks :eyes:

7. #3 and #4 by newsmax would be

"PETA freaks Bankrolled Kucinich"
and
"Corrupt bloated union bosses back edwards"

5. If Dean is the "Gay" canidate

then I am going to support him even more. (I'm not gay, but my brother is. Anyone good enough for my brother is good enough for me.)

6. This is not only a Newsmax story

was also in The Washington Post - might have been page 1, if not it definitely led a section of the paper. Written by a Post reporter, I believe, so it was probably a different story, but same content.

Don't recall the date, but it was very recent (w/in a week).

8. here is gay 365

but Washington Post was the first news outlet to break the story.

10. To Newsmax:

Here's a quarter... Surely, someone remembers that song.

12. All of the candidates

seem to support "gay issues," but Dean was the signer of the civil union law in Vermont. That's something that works for him for the gay community (the members of the gay community that actually care about all of this--some don't).
