Remember the Ed Schrock (R-Va) 2004 Scandal ?
Let me refresh:

By Michael D. Shear and Chris L. Jenkins
Washington Post Staff Writers
Tuesday, August 31, 2004; Page A02


Rep. Edward L. Schrock (R-Va.) abruptly dropped out of his race for a third term yesterday, citing unspecified "allegations" that he said called into question his ability to represent his Virginia Beach district.

In a statement, Schrock, 63, did not address the nature of the allegations, but he said they "will not allow my campaign to focus on the real issues facing our nation and region." His chief of staff, Tom Gordy, refused any further comment last night.

Schrock's announcement came after a gay activist claimed on a Web site on Aug. 19 that Schrock is secretly gay.

Michael Rogers said his claims about Schrock were motivated by anger over what he said was the hypocrisy of the congressman's opposition to gay rights while leading a gay life. He said the purpose of his Web site is to make public the names of lawmakers and other politicians who engage in such hypocrisy.

"Why should my community protect him?" Rogers asked. "He's the enemy."

Rogers said on his Web site that Schrock had been recorded several years ago using a telephone service on which men place ads to arrange liaisons with other men. Rogers posted an audio link of an unidentified man placing an ad. Rogers said the man is Schrock, who is married and has a child. Cont'd......at:

Whatever happened to Michael Rogers, Gay Activist ? I always thought there was something fishy about the timing of this since it opened the door for a more Bush friendly candidate, Thelma "lips firmly planted on Tom Delay's ass" Drake. We now know, thanks to Foley and gang, there are plenty more hypocrites Mr. Rogers could have skewered on his web site that exposes enemies of the Gay Community.

As far as I know, there have been no other "outings" by Michael Rogers :shrug:

1. Mike Rogers is still very active
Edited on Thu Oct-05-06 09:29 AM by Mabus
He runs http://pageoneq.com and http://www.blogactive.com/

He's very politically active as well. I met Mike at a conference earlier this year and he's a great guy.

edited subject line.

Some freepers tried to blame his site for starting the scandal, but his site outs gay righties, and has none of the page scandal info. Click on the links on the left of his site for more info about the self-loathing homosexuals.
