You are all obsessed with a man dressing in drag to raise money to support the survivors of 911. You keep telling us how Red America won't tolerate a man in a dress at a gay function. Do you honestly believe they hate that much? I don't. If you're not making them out to be hate-filled homophobes, then what do you call it? Your single argument is that they can't/won't tolerate a man in a dress at a gay function. No reference to what the function is. Even the left won't touch that one.
Haaaate. Haaaate.
That's Clintonista speak.
It's not about hate, it's about a perception of a lack of gravitas, coupled with a rather extreme liberal social viewpoint on the part of Rudy. If Rudy was anti-abortion and not so gung-ho on gay rights issues, I really don't think people would care that much.
Instead, it will just drive that message home. And ya'll are deluded if you think it won't be a factor. The Dems WILL use this against him and beat him up with it if he wins the nomination.
