Did Joel McHale actually "out" Lindsay Graham at the WH Correspondents Dinner last night?

one man's opinion...

[ken5050]

Haven't seen any other comments on this, so I thought I'd ask others here what they thought. During his gig last night, Joel McHale appeared to "out" South Carolina Senator Lindsay Graham.....(link below)

[American Constitutionalist]

And back in the day whole society would not tolerate that kind of thing.

[Resettozero]

Why not? Americans generally find the “we all know you’re gay so stop pretending” line of humor pretty funny. And actually we tend to like it more when people DON’T think the target is gay, it’s more absurdist then.

I see your rationale and can imagine why you are defending Graham.

[Covenantor]

hmmm...tough question, Stanley Kowalski or Blanche DuBois...Lindsey seems more like...more like...am I allowed to say an anorexic Truman Capote?

[discostu]

I’m not defending anybody, just pointing out that the vast majority of the time a cigar really is just a cigar. Joel made a lot of gay jokes in his set, and people laughed at all of them, getting suspicious that one was an “outing” is kind of silly. I don’t know and don’t care if Graham is gay, it’s his voting record I oppose and that gets neither better or worse with who he beds. It’s a joke, just a joke, reading more into it is just sad obsessive behavior.

Maybe j-z will give him an honorary 5% medallion to wear. Pretty much goes along with what jerry wright was preaching to the obies all those years and the BLT guide book. I can’t believe how divided and hatefilled this country has become over the last 6 years. And it’s only getting worse there mr. uniter. Right on the path for a war between the will do’s and the won’t do’s. aka makers and takers. And it’s mostly from the “progs”.

Got every bit of that, except the part about bacon-lettuce-tomato guide book.

No sale. But thanks for the accusation; it simplifies matters a lot.

[rabidralph]

Maybe Graham just says, “Oh, my!” a lot.

[vekzen]

The problem I have with this is that it’s OK to go after Lindsey’s sexuality at a public forum like the WH Correspondents Dinner. What would happen at the same dinner if somebody joked about thunder-thighs and her taste in women?

[discostu]

I also made no accusations. You see a lot of things that aren’t there.

[ruesrose]

Oh my! In my almost 80 years I am learning new words. I will not use them however. Peculiar is good enough for me.

Were Katt Williams and Andrew "Dice" Clay too busy to host? And how could his constituents not know? I knew the first time I heard him talk, just like Charles Nelson Reilly, Liberace or Paul Lynde.

Disingenuous response and very sad obsessive behavior. What else am I seeing that isn't "there"?

Did anyone watch the Kentucky Derby???

That Johnny person ... I guess anything goes now.

LOL! Black Liberation Theology. Talk about racist. WOW! If you get a chance to look into it you’ll see the evil that the lyin’king supposedly never heard in all those years sitting before the rev. wright.

[MHGinTN]

The racists running this regime are dancing to a tune they do not comprehend in it scope of evil, IMHO. I believe the globalist oligarchs are setting America up for a collapse which will wipe out the vast majority of the dependents now living on the government dole, by use of starvation, disease, and mayhem. Such a collapse will drain the resistance strength of those who oppose such evil.

I am convinced that the MRAPs and billions of bullets are not staged for keeping peace, they are the tools destined (by the demonically inspired oligarchs) to be utilized when the starvation, disease and mayhem have reduced the population to 'more manageable numbers'.

But this reality is impossible to get to consciousness for the racist leadership and out of the question for the mass of government dependents because they now have been so enslaved and sequestered into cities that they cannot afford to awaken to their true enslavement and destruction destiny.

[discostu]

That’s not an accusation of anything, just pointing out that your BEHAVIOR is overly focused on pointless things is a less than joyful way.

[rktman]

Ruh Roo! You used the word “enslaved” thereby proving that you too must be racist. LOL! :>}

[OldPossum]

It is an article of faith among Freepers to say that Lindsay Graham is a homosexual, based upon his personal behavior (he certainly doesn’t come across as a manly person) and the fact that he has never had a girlfriend relationship that we know of and remains unmarried in his 50s.

Yet, there is a good possibility that he is not a queer. People who are his age leave a trail of evidence (i.e., those with whom he has had “affairs” and people who know of his sexual proclivities), especially someone who has been in the public eye all these years. Yet, no one can point to any evidence.

Also, don’t you ever wonder why a political opponent has not come up with something to use in a campaign against him? It would be dynamite in a state such as South Carolina.

Folks, all you’re dealing with here is pure, unadulterated speculation.

[Joe Boucher]

Would you bet your farm Lindsey has never been with another male?
I wouldn’t bet a single spit.
