Wingnut Heads Totally Exploding re Foley
Edited on Fri Oct-13-06 08:28 AM by smoogatz
This is hilarious. From "Accuracy in Media," the same rightwing conspiracy nuts who brought you the "Clinton killed Vince Foster" nonsense.

Republican Gays are Closeted Dems
By Cliff Kincaid | October 12, 2006
So if the gay Republicans are not really Republicans, what are they?

The complex nature of the "dirty trick" against the Republicans over the Mark Foley scandal is beginning to emerge. It doesn't involve a George Soros-funded group or emails that had been in the possession of the media or shopped around by Democratic operatives. Instead, the GOP has played a trick on itself. The party brought so-called gay Republicans into positions of power in Congress only to realize that the confidential information they held about a secret gay network was political dynamite that could backfire.

At this point in the scandal, the issue is not whether there was such a network, but how big it is. CBS Evening News correspondent Gloria Borger reported the emerging belief that "a group of high-level gay Republican staffers were protecting" Foley. A New York Times story by Mark Leibovich confirmed that gay Republicans have occupied "crucial staff positions" in Congress and "have played decisive roles in passing legislation, running campaigns and advancing careers."

If you are getting the idea that gay Republicans may be closeted Democrats, then you are beginning to understand how the Mark Foley scandal could have been a Democratic Party dirty trick.

<snip>

So if the gay Republicans are not really Republicans, what are they? One veteran observer of this network told AIM that the Foley scandal should make it crystal clear that the gay Republicans are in reality "liberal activists" who want to use the party to advance the same homosexual agenda embraced by the Democrats.

'Cause, you know, ALL gay people are really liberals. Even the conservative ones, like Ken Mehlman. Because, uh, conservatives are too MANLY to be gay.

Okay, that's it--stop LAUGHING, or we'll report you to DHS!!!

2. So, by definition, if they're gay they have to be liberal?
If only it were true! :rofl:

It looks to me like the "Help! There's a Liberal Under My Bed!" strategy once again.

3. That's some rationalization going on. I suppose a few years from
now, when the full extent of *'s damage is felt, they will be explaining that Gee Dub was really a democratic mole in the deepest cover with a mission to destroy the republican party once and for all...

4. I just can't keep up
"At this point in the scandal, the issue is not whether there was such a network, but how big it is. CBS Evening News correspondent Gloria Borger reported the emerging belief that 'a group of high-level gay Republican staffers were protecting' Foley"

Aren't two or more high level gay staffers now testifying that they warned Hastert? Or wait, are they all gay, some gay, dammit who the hell is gay?

Shouldn't gays on the federal payroll wear an armband so we'll know who they are?

Somebody send me the list, and keep it updated for God's sake.

Just in case: :sarcasm:

6. Not an armband . . . a pink triangle, pinned to their blazers . . .
AIM is massively creepy, but homophobia is a 'Lican stock in trade. In fact, homophobia is pretty consistently part of the platform for murderous despots throughout history.

I guess humans *never* learn the big lessons.
