Who CARES about the stupid-ass Kerry/Edwards photos?
If Americans are stupid enough to vote against someone because of a photo, then they deserve another four years of George W. Bush. Yeesh.

1. And anyone who knows any gay men or is gay and thinks the photos were gay
needs their frickin' eyes checked.

3. They Touched Each Other! EEeeeewww!

HuhHuh Huh Huh Huh.

I'd suspect the Beavis and Butthead contingent may be swayed, but those guys are, like, 12.

6. The only people this is going to have the
desired effect on is the homophobe base. Normal people see this for what it is---a cheap shot.

2. What are you talking about?
Who is voting for someone because of a photo? Have you been drinking?

4. You need to read the threads about the Kerry/Edwards photos
And the suggestion that they're "gay."

17. Why do you care if they are gay or look gay?
Nobody said they were going to vote against them because of that. It seems to me that that's a very bigoted attitude.

21. What a hoot
Nobody said they were going to vote against them because of that.

The Freep have suggested that some will or should.

It seems to me that that's a very bigoted attitude.

As a gay man myself, I agree with you. I just think it's funny/sad/stupid/not worthy of spending any time getting "outraged" about.

19. Someone needs to send this to Drudge:


And, for the record, I'm not a homophobe, the only reason I think this story is interesting is because, faced with the obvious power of a Kerry-Edwards Ticket, all the doofus brain trusts of the right, a la Drudge, could think to bitch about was how much they "touched each other"... (And -gasp!- hugged... so, wanna take bets on how long before we start hearing their physical displays referred to as "French" or "European Style"?)

However, I must say that this picture of Abdullah and Bush holding hands like a couple of 5 year olds being led across the street by a kindergarden teacher, I do find unmitigatedly weird.
