CRUZ or LOSE!

Certain biases remain acceptable. There’s a full-fledged boycott against two gay New York City hoteliers who recently hosted an event in their home for Republican presidential candidate Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas). How would the media react if a Republican business owner hosted an event for a gay politician – and mainstream Republican-friendly organizations boycotted them as a result? There would rightfully be outrage.
The two gay hotel owners have been attacked and harmed financially – despite their long history as activists and philanthropists – for hosting a discussion with Cruz. (It wasn’t even a fundraiser.)
This is the liberal thought police at work.
Among those boycotting the hotels that Cruz’ gay hosts own is an organization named Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, who canceled fundraisers at their hotel, Out NYC.
And apparently while GOP candidate discussions are off-limits, further examination of Broadway Cares financials reveals that one of their handful of $100k-plus donors is “The Supreme Master Ching Hai.”
“The Supreme Master Ching Hai” is oft-described as the leader of one of the largest and most dangerous cults in the world. Websites owned by her followers describe her as God’s “immediate” and “direct” Contact. (Yes, you read that correctly.)
The supreme master attracted worldwide headlines some years ago as a major donor to Bill Clinton’s Whitewater legal defense. An LA Times feature reported on the sect’s strange interest in Clinton’s personal affairs, after the money donated had been returned.
The LA Times continued:
Supreme Master Ching Hai, leader of a Buddhist-inspired movement that made massive contributions to President Clinton’s legal defense fund, gives new meaning to the term special interest.
The group — Suma Ching Hai International Assn. — is already under investigation by authorities in its home country of Taiwan. …
The group’s Internet Web site says that Ching Hai has no permanent residence, but when in Hong Kong stays in a cave formed out of the ruins of a cattle shed. “It looks like a fairy’s cave,” the Web site reports.
Executive Director of Broadway Cares Tom Viola wrote an email recently to the men who hosted Cruz in which he said, “Due to the controversy around the recent New York Times article that reported on the reception for Senator Ted Cruz as he begins his campaign for the Republican nomination for President, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS must cancel the upcoming presentation of our fundraiser, SOLO STRIPS at OUT NYC Hotel’s 42West. Unfortunately, when any politician publicly holds in contempt so much that BC/EFA stands for and the very people who we are committed to embrace, we cannot be seen or misunderstood as standing with him/her. And unfortunately, silence, or in this case inaction, is not a neutral position.”
Broadway Cares has the right to vocally oppose an event with a Republican Presidential candidate, and boycott a gay business leader for speaking with him. So, too do Republicans have the right to say to Broadway Cares that they will boycott Broadway. Does this New York City-based organization realize that theatre goers don’t all come from the island of Manhattan?
Will Broadway Cares return the money of their largest donor – a cult leader, as then President Clinton’s legal fund did? Or is money from a cult leader acceptable – but hosting a discussion with Ted Cruz is not?
It is a slippery slope when charities such as Broadway Cares choose sides and decide what sort of discussion is permitted. As the executive director of Broadway Cares noted, “silence, or in this case inaction, is not a neutral position.”
Will they lift the boycott on the gay hotel owners who dared to dialogue with Ted Cruz, will they refund the cult owners money (as did the Clintons), or will they be silent?
I live on Staten Island an Love Phantom. I’ve seen it five times with different people who hadn’t seen it yet as a gift.
A the end of EVERY friggin show, you get a lecture about AIDS and then a hit up for donations.
I give the same amount every time.
There’s GD kids up a half mile away who didn’t do anything but g3t born with cancer and these @#$@#s want my money.
At least before mandatory blood tests, there were the innocent who got tainted blood, not anymore
They are NOT "gay", they are sodomites. Words have meaning! The homosexuals can't be allowed to alter -- destroy --- the language. This leftist nonsense must end and it starts by every Conservative using the correct term to characterize these twisted deviants.
Hopefully members of the ‘gay’ community will learn from this experience. An evil conservative treated them far better than their own fellows. And it’s evil conservatives speaking out against their treatment.
In liberal land, if you do not tow the line, you will be towed by the line.
There will be no dissent. Diversity is not our strength!
I know what you mean in this context with the word, "treatment" as in the manner in which someone behaves toward or deals with someone.
If I may, I'll address "treatment" in its other sense. Those who have made the choice to follow the deviant sodomite deathstyle are in desperate need of treatment. In particular, Christ-centered reparative therapy has been enormously successful in transforming sodomites into normal human beings. Its success is precisely why the White Mosque is against it. The facts are clear. Homosexuality is not a birth defect, it's a decision made in sin. The Cleansing Blood of Jesus can wipe away that sin but first the sodomite must repent of that abomination and then follow the Christian path of redemption.
I look at it this way. I’m not pro gay. I’m pro leave me alone about your sex habits. I think they are wrong overall and many re stone cold evil.
As long as hey shut up about their sex habbits and dont shove gay on me, I’ll teat them a anyone else. I won’t back ther support them. I ll match 1-1 the respect they show m. No more, no less.
If they CHOOSE to openly flaunt their crap, I go pitbull. Same if they CHOOSE to try destroying my country.
The entire entertainment industry has been turned into a conveyor belt for the “Gay is Normal” message.
It’s possible that it will work.
It’s also possible that it will result in a brand-new separate entertainment industry, based on the internet, with its much lower barriers to entry.
Another reason the Left is trying to get control over the internet.
Keyboard skip hell...Sorry if that mess is confusing but I don’t feel like retyping it.
Yes I to think we should use the right terminology, they are sodomites and it is a abomination. I will make every effort to start using the correct language. Thank you for the reminder.
LGBT Is the Real Moral Majority (Yeah, he went there)

I really appreciate the nice response and hope that more true Conservatives like you will shed the language of the left. Maybe this Christmas, we won’t hear all the muffled chuckles when “Deck the Halls” is sung!
It’s possible that it will work.
It is already working. A study done a year or so ago showed that a large plurality of Americans thought that "gays" make up 25% of the population.
If we ever get back into power, we need to go Vlad the Impaler on the entertainment industry.
I thought it was crystal-clear and well said. Ditto.
Ted Cruz Ping!
