Jeff Berkowitz, selling out the gay and lesbian community

President Bush's liaison to the Jewish Community, Jeff Berkowitz, is a gay man blogACTIVE has learned. In addition to speaking extensively with two of the four original tipsters, this information has been confirmed by five independent, separate, corroborating sources, including:

-A source inside of the White House;
-A lobbyist for a top conservative lobbying firm;
-An individual who had a sexual encounter with Mr. Berkowitz; and
-Two personal acquaintances of Jeff.

In addition to being the President's liaison to the Jewish Community, Jeff Berkowitz has had his hand in building the current anti-gay majority in Congress.


And, on top of the many sources above, this story has been confirmed by an individual who used to work with Mr. Berkowitz at, get this, Generation GOP. GenerationGOP is the organization created to recruit young people to the GOP platform (including the denial of civil marriage equality) and candidates.

1. He's a creepy looking fucker, too.

Grandpa Munster meets Liberace.

[DU9598]

3. Not to be mean

But he looks like a young Grandpa Munster. No offense to Grandpa Munster. This man is clearly a sicko. I suppose he would have been sucking up to Hitler had he lived seventy years ago.

[skypilot]

5. Did you read what I posted UNDER his picture in my post?

:)

The prick probably joined the dark side because he couldn't get a date.

[Oreo]

2. Let's ask him

[e-mail]


Does he always wear that suit and tie?

[MidwestTransplant]

4. I wonder if he knows "Bull Dog"

[Oreo]

6. Does this answer your question?

Jeff writes frequently on political and cultural issues. His work has appeared in CNSNews.com, NewsMax, GOPUSA's Eagle, Education News, and a number of local and regional newspapers. He is now a regular columnist for PolitixGroup.com.

8. Certainly answers how Jeff Gannon got access to the WH!

eom

[MidwestTransplant]

9. LOL

[ropi]

12. did ya see this?

from the website

Originally from Woodbridge, CT, Jeff is an Eagle Scout and Vigil member of the Order of the Arrow, the National Honor Society of the Boy Scouts of America . He is a member of Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity, an alumnus of American Legion Boys State program, and a recipient of the Connecticut Daughters of the American Revolution Good Citizen Award.

[Occulus]

17. He can be stripped of that Eagle Scout status

and, in my opinion, should be. At the very least, the Scouts should be notified, seeing as how they've revoked Eagle status of homosexuals in the past.

I think we should try to prompt that into happening. See hoe he likes being the object of the scorn he has helped foment.

18. My gawd! We've found Canteen Boy!

[txaslftist]

7. What the fuck? Jeff Christie, Jeff Gannon, Jeff Berkowiwitz...

What's with all these Jeffs?

[Ian David]

19. Do we have any pictures of Bush rubbing his head? n/t

[kweerwolf]

23. That's only with black guys ...

* probably rubs somewhere else with gay guys.

[Ian David]

24. No, I have pics of him rubbing the heads of bald white guys, too.

Bush is a Phrenofilliac-- he has a head-fetish.

I made that word up by myself. I've consulted sexuality experts, and this is the first they've heard of such a thing.

I submitted Bush's head-fetish for an Ignoble Prize in Human Sexuality, but it looks like they're going to decline in the interests of avoiding politics.





See here for a HUGE collection of Bush rubbing heads of various colors:

25. OMG! ... You're right! ... that's some strange 'kink' * has there! n/t

[swimmernsecretsea]

26. Excellent research into this kink of *'s

...but I have to admit a bit of squeamishness. And that's just strange, having just been to the Folsom Street Fair.

[Ian David]

29. I know someone who ran into their Rabbi at Folsom Street East

I didn't ask if he was wearing a leather Talis.

[ropi]

10. eewwww

shove him back inside... what an unfortunate looking fellow! all i can say is: that ain't my gay!

[eallen]

11. It amazes me that there are any Log Cabin Republicans left.

[TechBear_Seattle]

22. Some people know only dysfunction

The GOP has become extremely homophobic in the last two decades. The only possible reason why gay people would still belong is that they have something similar to "battered wife syndrome." As for why folks like Gannon, Berkowitz, Finklestein (can you say, 'gigantic hypocrite'?) work for the Republicans and help promote their own self-destruction.... At the risk of invoking Godwin's Law, I can't help but think of the Jews who volunteered to work in the Nazi death camps. Given the ethnicity of so many of the GOP closet-cases, the comparison is chilling.

[Old and In the Way]

13. Is this the most dysfunctional Party of all time or what?

You just know there have got to be a bunch of Satan worshippers in this Party to compliment their strong pro-Christian agenda.

[Ian David]

20. When was the last time a DEMOCRAT was outed??

I think The Logjam Republicans join the party for one or more of these reasons:

1) The feeling of power they get from the GOP's totalitarianism helps compensate them for the feelings of powerlessness they feel as gay people.

2) Being able to scapegoat someone else, often makes those who are scapegoats themselves feel better about themselves.

3) Belonging to a right-wing conservo-fascist organization makes them feel like they have more credibility and gives them a misguided sense of self-respect. "If the Republicans accept me, I must be a really special homosexual. Better than those other other homosexuals. It compensates for their self-loathing and self-hating.

4) They are-- or expect to become-- wealthy enough for the Republican Party to be acting in their best financial interest. Becoming a Republican is a Faustian bargain, and they're willing to sacrifice their self-respect and endanger their civil liberties and even their own lives in the hopes of financial gain. They are the equivalent of modern day Goldjuden.
http://www.deathcamps.org/reinhard/areconomics.html

5) They're retarded.

And as for The Log Closet Republicans, I think they join for many of the same reasons. In addition, I think they may have the following reasons:

6) "Passing for straight" helps them feel they have regained some of the self-esteem they lost from their self-loathing.

7) They want to be on the winning side on the GOP's impending Genocide against the "undesirables," and they think that being a closeted Republican will allow them to hide in plain sight and escape the coming Holocaust. They are the gay equivalents of modern day Judenrats.
http://www.humboldt.edu/~rescuers/book/Makuch/judrat.html

In any case, it takes a morbid and profound amount of self-loathing or self-destructive and obsessive emphasis on financial gain to be either a Logjam Republican or a Log Closet Republican.

Or, they could just be terminally stooooooopid.

[kweerwolf]

27. Excellent points, IanBB1

One other possibility I might add ...

Having hung around chat rooms (ok ... so I'm a chat ho) I've noticed that when discussion turns to politics there are some right-wing gays who will defend the GOP no matter what. I think there is a subset of these folks who feel like they been rejected by "the gay community" for whatever reason ... looks, money, the tiny size of their weinies, who knows ... and by voting Repugnantcan they are somehow striking back at those who have rejected them. There votes have nothing to do with accepting GOP policies, and everything to do with "punishing" other gays.

[Ian David]

30. Very good thought. I had a similar idea, but didn't know how to express it

You've done a very good job articulating the idea.

"I hate myself, and I hate all those other gay guys that rejected me. I'll show them! I'll pass a law that says gay partners can't visit each other in the hospital!

And if it weren't for you meddling kids, and that pesky dog, they would have gotten away with it, too!

[kweerwolf]

14. Dang, that's one helluva toothy grin!

Wonder if * has ever told him, "Boy, y'all have the whitest teeth I ever came across."

[davidinalameda]

15. another self-loathing 'mo

that picture is just too much!

[Democrats_win]

16. Be kind, he could have a great personality. Oh, then again....

Being in the gop, he isn't the sort you'd take home to meet mom and pops.

[Ian David]

21. Do you think we should re-insert his feeding tube?

I think from now on, along with "drank the Republican Kool-Aid," we should also use, "swallowed the Republican feeding tube," to describe gay people and black people-- those who support the GOP against their own best interests.

[bluedawg12]

28. eeew ....repug-ugo

Usually anti-gay homophobic hate baiters are outed for hypocrisy.

That honor usually goes to the Repugs.
