First Print Story on the Outing of Congressman David Dreier on the Internet
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- San Gabriel Valley Congressman David Dreier is the latest GOP member to be outed as a homosexual Republican by Mike Rogers, former development director for the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, and his blogactive.com Web site. Doug Ireland, longtime radical political journalist, media critic and self-described purveyor of "investigative opinion," defends the outing and assesses Dreier's political future in this first discussion of the outing in the print media. Already Ireland's story has caused a stir. Several radio stations have called Ireland for comment and many are debating whether Ireland should have kept the story on the Internet. "I have not the slightest doubt that the outing campaign initiated by Mike Rogers' blogactive.com and supported by Raw Story's reporting is accurate in exposing Dreier," Ireland insists. "Moreover, in the course of reporting this story, I talked to a gay member of Congress who has observed Dreier in gay behavior and is 100% sure, as this member told me, that Dreier is gay. And, clearly, Dreier's demagogic political homophobia justifies reporting the outing campaign targeting him."
You could be one of the most juvenile posters I've ever seen on this forum; even the GenXers make sense.
Reading along on the thread with interest. Here's a question to those who are interested: The major Methodist Church downtown in our city just graciously hosted the head of the U.S. Communist party for a "discussion and lecture." What say all?
Yes, you originally posted a straw argument.
Also, those who are easily impressed with Dreino's voting record are not what I would call good judges of conservatism.
If true then he blows... on exhale..
GROAN!
Don't get me started on "lukewarm" churches...I might blow a gasket!
You are correct, my friend :o)
I'm going on record right now that any posts regarding views I comment on or not that are not submitted in direct response to my views are verboten. /sarcasm
Goodnight.
Because, dimbulb, you posted that little diatribe to ME:
'Night.
You guys acted SO gay on this thread.
Yo tambien.
I'm thinking that the term "lukewarm" might be a little lukewarm for this particular incident.

Have to quizzed the Methodist Church leadership about this? Is there a money trail? Need more info...A lot of moronically lunatic and otherwise insane Christians believe it is a Communist faith...usually the same ones that say Jesus was gay or bi-sexual...filthy heretical commentaries.
Methodists love everybody. They are decidedly not Christian.

"So you'll be cool with it when dad goes to marry his adult son and they share the mom? Wow, that's a society I look forward to living in. Who needs to slouch towards Gomorrah when you can just run headlong?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No, I wouldn't be cool with it anymore than I would a straight dad marrying his adult daughter and sharing her with her brother. The decline in values and our society heading down the slippery slope to Gomorrah is rooted more in the current climate of accepting as the norm: lying; cheating; stealing; pc thought control; parents turning their role, which was once a vocation, into an avocation; and the absence of tolerance for decent, contributing members of society who are different. And please don't come back with the tired argument that because I feel this way I must be willing to accept everyone from the terrorists on down. I said decent people. Those who are law abiding and who only wish to live their lives in peace.
