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."
Drier also is for sending your job to India since apparently he is taking large sums of money from American businesses who want to practice oursourcing on a massive scale. I once heard him say 4-5 times in a short speech that "Americans have a right to your job to India". I can't believe this guy wins elections.
Unfortunately, your analogy makes no sense, and is not an analogy at all. Sorry.
Yeh, I guess so.
I said he was 'pretty darn conservative', not a "great conservative", and I'm not a one issue voter. President Bush isn't exactly cracking down on the border either, but I still plan to vote for him.
Do you realize that I work at home?.....Well I work all of the time...so never,never interrupt me. OK? Not if there is a fire. Not if you hear the sound of a thud from my apartment and one week later there's a stench coming from my home so thick that you have to hold a hanky to your face because the smell is so thick that you think you're gonna faint. Even then, don't come knocking. Or if you're excited and want to celebrate because some fudgepacker that you've been dating got elected the first queer President of the United States,... and he's going to have you to Camp David, and you want someone to share the moment. Even then, don't knock. Not on this door. Not for Any reason....Do you get me sweetheart. O.K. then.

Nope... what's funny are the newbies that flood FR during election seasons and bash Republicans in the name of "conservatism".
How about I dumb this down for you. This entire thread is based on an allegation without a shred of evidence, made by the hard-left homosexual faction, and made against a conservative they are trying to damage.
In my opinion, any "conservative" that jumps to do their bidding and eagerly helps to damage the man is either thick as a brick and doesn't deserve to be on the right, or someone who ISN'T really on the right. And to further extrapolate this groundless thread into bashing even MORE of our politicians that the left despises is beyond silly.
I'm done wasting time on you. Whatever your reasons are for joining Free Republic, bother someone else with them.
Oh, I see, divorce is the moral equivalent of homosexuality?
How dare you GROW, woman!
So, "growth" means accepting homosexuality as morally benign or morally equal to heterosexuality?
I hear you, Havoc. Thankfully, it's only something we have to accept and not condone. We live in a morally confused world... self-imposed, however.
Divorce used to be viewed in the same light as other "bad" things;but,I guess you're to young to know that,or condone divorce.One could then say that YOU have "grown". :-)
The silly gay activists are also interested -- very interested in his voting record.
In fact, the silly gay activitists want to change his voting record.
And so, in order to change his voting record, the threaten to reveal information they know he would prefer to keep private.
Anyone know what that is called???
If you said blackmail, please go to the head of the class.
How does bringing him out in public this way constitue blackmail? If they did it in secret, sure--but this is out in the open. No chance to blackmail him now.
Sink! I found a list of marriage amendment supporters here:

So Hyde is for heterosexual marriage and is not a RINO. Yeah?
You're still brooding about a post made eight months ago? I don't think about this subject all that much, myself. ;)
later pingout.
Dang. Karl Rove is severely underpaid.
:o)
