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."
So far I've seen the extreme rigth wing, the Keyes people, the Religious Right, the NRA, to name just a few, say THEY and they alone were the reason Reagan, Bush 41 and Bush 43 were elected.
You all need to make up your minds which ones of you did it.
And if 4 million of you sat home in 2000 for spite, I wouldn't be telling people that "you" put Bush in office.
Yes, I remember you well. I think I'd be happier NOT knowing who does do your thinking for you.
Are you outing me?
Weasel words.
One or the other one them is right.
Since you hold forth as speaking the word of God as written in the Bible, which ones of those two are THE real true accurate believers?
BTTT
I think I am, but I can't be sure until somebody comes along and pontificates over us.
It's those darn Nick Berg threads! LOL
Ones like those are PARTICULARLY bad, don't you think? I mean, you REALLY have to THINK really hard to connect the dots.
Sometimes I need to print them off and use a yellow Highlighter on them just so I can finally get the whole picture!
YOU asked the question...YOU answer it, and please back it up with some Scripture...(sound of crickets chirping...)
In the not too distant future it may be that the Republican Party is the only one left that acknowledges God.
Who's running you out of the party? Do you think if everyone in it doesn't belong to your particular Christian sect that you are not welcome in the GOP?
Just out of curiosity, where do we Christians have to go if we want to be involved in the political power struggles in this country? What other party is there for us to vote with that has a shred of hope of effecting improvement in the culture via the political route?
(I knew you wouldn't answer.)
So would the 'rats.
>>>Ones like those are PARTICULARLY bad, don't you think?
Very BAD for the sleep pattern too. What? I missed something on Aziz? Can't go to sleep now! ROFL.
Alas, another mystery left unsolved. :-)
The President and Laura Bush are Methodists.
I shopped around in my youth, but found it simplest in the end to stay with the sect I was raised in.
Burkett misled you. I'm not Methodist, sorry.
Night all. It's hubby's turn on the net.
Please, enlighten me (as if you could)...
You're the one posting the word of God, not me.
I figured if you had an inside track, you'd know the answer.
Well, right now you are letting the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force doing your thinking for you.
Good move.
You called yourself a Christian in post 238...don't you KNOW the WORD?
That was you.
I do!
Oh, that's right, I'm a Christian, so I don't count...
Next thing I know you will be trying to feed me to the lions...
