New Questions May Force Jim Rassman To Leave Kerry Camp

DC reporter friends | MB26

[Mr Ramsbotham]

People who are violently "homophobic," I think are likely to be latent homosexuals themselves; people who actually have homosexual predilections, but remain forever at war with their consciences over it. Not a pleasant personality type, to be sure.

[Taliesan]

None of this is relevant.

[Just mythoughts]

This does not begin to explain how he ended up on that stage in Iowa, and JFKerry is not exactly anti-gay.

[Big Guy and Rusty 99]

what the hell? Curiouser and curiouser . . .

"dems don't care about character...."

Oh, but FlipFlop cajoled folks recently to judge his character by what he did during Vietnam.

Questions of the truth about what he did during Vietnam aside, never mind of course what he did in the decades that followed.

"I would think that being anti-gay and being a male member of the American Orchid Society would be mutually exclusive."

There is allot out there on Rassman. I personally would not like to see our side demeaning "the band of brothers" personally, but clearly the man has some psychological issues in his life that have been appeased somewhat with the attention he's had in the Kerry campaign.

What gets me is the fact that the Kerry people will not let any of these guys go before the media without prior approval where as the SVFT are free to do what they please and say what they please.

The beef's with Kerry not Rassman.

Ditto me that.

How about an actual link to this?

[Half Vast Conspiracy]

Of course, there is a question there that no one dares ask.....

Though many of us have the answer.

Since gays comprise one of Kerry’s largest and most vocal support groups, the use of a noted homophobe in his campaign could cut Kerry’s support in a group he desperately needs if he has any chance of being elected.

You'd think so. But let's not get our hopes up. Did the serial rapist lose the support of NOW?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Who cares about Rassmann? He's not running for POTUS.

And homosexuals will still vote for Kerry regardless.

[nyconse]

Look, I don't want to attack this guy. Let's go after Kerry.

[finnman69]

Reminds me of the protester who repeatedly screamed I was a "faggot" as I left the convention last night. Tisk tisk, the party of diversity that embraces homosexuals is full of haters.

[AndyJackson]

My wife raised and collected orchids for a number of years. They are beautiful and fascinating plants. But, I assure you that the orchid cultivating crowd is not one to hang out with if you are homophobic.

[MikeA]

"Now granted, many of us are not fond of gays, but we are not wearing a badge and gun and using the power of the State to harass one group of people."

I don't hate the people, I hate the behavior as being an afront to God. But to dislike someone because they are in sin is also an afront to God. If being a sinner makes one worthy of hate, then God should hate us all.

[Kenny500c]

We need to know how much $$$ the Kerry camp has paid to Rassmann.

[BlackRazor]

If this is true and hits the mainstream news, look for everyone to focus on the fact that Rassman is a Republican (or so he claims).
