Here's the Gannon aritlce that makes that reference:

By Jeff Gannon

October 12, 2004

Inasmuch as Bill Clinton is considered by some members of the African-American community to be "the first black president" because of their perception of his positions with regard to minority issues, Democratic Sen. John Kerry might someday be known as "the first gay president" were he to win the White House in November.

The Massachusetts liberal has enjoyed a 100% rating from the homosexual advocacy group, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), since 1995 in recognition of his support for the pro-gay agenda.

Despite his stated opposition to gay marriage, Kerry and his running mate, Sen. John Edwards (D-NC), who also boasts a 100% rating from the HRC, can expect to receive a high percentage of the gay vote, estimated to be around 4 million. Kerry voted against the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) in 1996 and both candidates oppose the constitutional amendment to protect marriage sought by President Bush.

The Kerry-Edwards web site features a recitation of support for an extensive pro-homosexual platform. The Democrats have pledged to expand homosexual rights in domestic partnerships and add sexual orientation and gender identity to the federal employment non-discrimination regulations.

In an interview with a leading national gay magazine, "The Advocate," Kerry touted his support for homosexuals, pointing to what he calls "a 35-year lifetime record of fighting for equality."

Kerry contrasted his positions with those of the man he wants to replace, saying, "The difference between me and George Bush will be the difference to gay and lesbian couples and individuals across this country -- whether rights are afforded them or whether or not they are discriminated against."

Kerry said that he might change his position on gay marriage.

"I can't tell you in 20 years or whenever, if someone made a persuasive argument, the world changes," Kerry said.

Kerry differs with Bush on an issue that hasn't been mentioned in the 2004 campaign: gays in the military. The Massachusetts senator's web site points out that in 1992, he opposed the Clinton administration's "Don't Ask Don't Tell Policy." He was one of the few senators to testify before the Senate Armed Services Committee and call on the president to rescind the ban on gay and lesbian service members.

The 2004 Democratic National Platform, declares that "all patriotic Americans should be allowed to serve our country" in a paragraph addressing civil rights.

Lifting the ban on homosexuals serving openly in the military is one of the issues where Kerry can't be accused of flip-flopping. While his campaign soft-pedals his position, the senator has never reversed himself.

During his 1992 testimony, Kerry said, "Let me be very clear about my own views. I think it is fundamentally wrong to continue to deny gay and lesbian Americans the right to participate in the armed forces of the United States."

In a January 27, 1993, floor speech, Kerry said that codifying the ban would "be forever unfaithful, literally semper infidelis, to what this country is all about." Kerry suggested that permitting gays to serve openly would help the United States to "win respect as a nation."

It means that to voluntarily cooperate in suicide is contrary to moral law. (It's one reason I show up on threads like this. I'm against assisted suicide of all sorts.)

Thanks. We all have our opinions about what is better for the living (if you could call this poor individual as 'living' in the true sense' of the definition).

Loved ones have to decide in their own hearts what is best for their endeared relatives and/or spouses. In this case it looks as if there was foul play on the husband's part according to the interview with Terry's parents.

On the Coulter issue - I can't understand your ill feeling towards Ann. I haven't apparently read enough on this thread or know enough about the issue at hand on this thread, so I'd better stay out of the arguement until the smoke clears before I go off half-cocked.

You thought I was a fool.

I said if you didn't know the game the liberals played then you were a fool

And from looking at your previous posts .. you do know

"Oh for Pete's sake ... you're talking about a bimbo who figured Canada BOTH sent troops to Viet Nam AND took in our draft dodgers. Get real. She's found a niche she can handle with her "how to talk like a liberal" schtick and it suits her well ... as this apologia for Gannon's hypocrisy proves well. Beats proving she's a "constitutional scholar" by commenting on anything of real substance where the current dismantling of our constitutional republic is concerned. I guess it's her innate sympathy for utter hypocrisy that causes her to still tout herself as a "constitutional scholar" and legal maven."

This is why libtards like you hate Ann. Because she exposes you for the uneducated, unthinking and usually unprepared intellectual dwarfs that you really are.

Now get on back to the DumbassUnderground where you belong troll and stop stiking up this place with your BS!

(By the way, if writing for a news organization with no viewers is grounds for being denied a press pass, why do MSNBC reporters have them?)

*snicker!*

Thanks joesbuck for answering the questions that I posed to dogbyte12.

Dogbyte12, you were certainly right and my thought that maybe the Dean quote get transposed to Kerry was incorrect.

MORE PICS PLEASE!

Well, ok. Since you feel the need so strongly:

As a member of your ping list, all I can say is "give 'em hell."

There's a lot of people on FR who are front-running bandwagoneers who can bear no criticizm of the GOP or President Bush. I voted for Bush, and I support many of his international efforts to quash terrorsm. However, In my opinion, he's done little to advance the great moral issues of our time: outlawing abortion and defeating the "gay" agenda. Indeed, he's promoted homo-supporters and pro-death individuals and helped defeat pro-life Republicans.

Bush has 3 years to find his place in history. I pray every day that he takes up the cause of the Culture of Life and runs with it. Sadly, I think we may have to wait for another president.

Sounds like someone let a troll out.

You have no freaking clue at all what you are talking about.

Askel and I disagree about virtually everything, but she is no troll. She has worked her butt off on FR exposing the Clinton/tainted blood scandal and various other crap.

[Bella_Bru]

It's the 'Bloodhound' List. FReepers that were following the HIV infected blood that was collected from prisoners in Arkansas (under Clinton's watch) and sent to Canadian blood banks.

[Always Right]

It is easy to see why liberals hate little ole Annie, she is very good at cutting them to pieces.

[BillF]

Coulter puts it all well in perspective.

BTTT

[EveningStar]

I agree with much of what you say about Gannongate. However, your claim that George Herbert Walker Bush is a homosexual is utterly bizarre.

[anonymous_user]

Notice on WND it says:

"...that dyspeptic, old Helen Thomas to sit within yards of the president."

But on AnnCoulter.org it says:

"...that old Arab Helen Thomas to sit within yards of the president."

This week I've been making 300 construction workers and crew in toolbelts happy.
Tough job, but somebody's gotta do it ... =)

Good gravy, Mz Mollie; and you wonder why psychos stalk you?

Take it down a notch and/or grow up.

Well, I am sure all of us see right through them. We are getting to them or they would not be doing this. Keep the faith. We are winning and it is killing them.
