Chrissy Gephart on CNN to discuss the Mary Cheney issue. Both gay.

Coming up and I'll add here when I have something for those who can't watch.

1. Unfortunately, this all comes too late to help Kerry

She should have been on the talkshows yesterday.

5. I still don't think this is a negative.

Who knows? This could actually have distracted the Bush campaign from a successful counter-offensive. Over the coming days, this is not a plus for their side. I wouldn't fret about it.

6. Yeah, what's all the hub-bub

People are bringing it up to me, but most of them just blow it off. I think it's only really gonna make the already hardcore Bush voters more hard-core.

I suggest we all just let it go. If Rove wants to waste his time on it, fine. Let Kerry continue to kick ass on Iraq and the economy. DOW closed under 10,000 again today.

21. You would say that dolstein. I disagree totally.

[movonne]

2. Good I would like to hear about it....

[cheshire]

3. I hope it puts an end to this crap. Cheneys are using Mary more.

They aren't in a hurry to show it.

4. Yet another Mary Cheney thread?

I suppose this would make the 30th thread in 24 hours we need to put an end to whoring this RW propaganda.

[cheshire]

9. I brought this up because I think Chrissy will kill this. Sorry you need

to point out your opinion in such a way. It's not required reading.

[cheshire]

7. Well excuse me for listening to these asses. I am still waiting.

[ciaobox]

8. Franken, Stewart, Gephardt?

I don't know what publicist we just hired but he/she is kicking ass! If they can repeat today's coup of guests for the next two weeks, we are going to win in a walk.

[Cha]

10. Hey, At least they someone from our

side discussing it. I think in the long run it's going to be a very positive thing.. And we Are going to Win!

[cheshire]

11. OK it's on

[cheshire]

12. Kerry is honest. no secret. Kerrry complimenting Cheney's.

Gw bakes a big deal out of being gay.

[BayouWoman]

13. Shallow Moment

Chrissy Gephart is hot!

[Lefty48197]

14. She's letting Bush have it.

His policies directly attack Cheney's daughter.

[cheshire]

16. She didn't put it to rest but it's a big help.

[telex54]

17. The issue.......

The BEST comment I've heard about this issue was from Paul Begala today.

He stated that the hand-picked Republican senate candidate for Illinois, Alan Keyes, called Mary Cheney "Hanious" (and worse)

And yet... Nada, Zip, Zilch. It made no news outside of forums like this.

*** Everytime the Mary Cheney issue in the debates is brought up, the disgusting insults of Alan Keyes should be cited!

[spooky3]

19. He probably stole that point from DU's own Beaconess, who said it

here.

20. This letter will be published in my city's paper:

Vice President Cheney and his wife quickly attacked Sen. John Kerry's supportive comment about their daughter Mary during the last presidential debate, but they were silent when Illinois Republican senatorial candidate Alan Keyes denounced Ms. Cheney as a "selfish hedonist" for being gay.

John Kerry didn't violate anyone's privacy: Mary Cheney is an openly gay public figure. She is a major official in the Bush-Cheney campaign and has advocated for gay rights for years. Vice President Cheney has publicly mentioned her sexual orientation several times, and thanked John Edwards for his supportive comments about his daughter during their recent debate. John Kerry's comment was obviously not intended with malice, but rather with kindness. I think that this fact is clear to the gay community and its friends.

I felt bad for Ms. Cheney when she and her partner sat on the sidelines watching, as the rest of her family joined her father on the stage at the Republican National Convention. Why didn't they feel comfortable enough to be acknowledged along with the rest of their family?

Mary Cheney isn't ashamed or embarrassed about who she is. Why are her parents?
