From a List to a GOP Civil War? [More Dirty Tricks]

"Copies of The List (see below)"

No list and none on link.

I had the same problem. The links are in the left-hand banner at the bottom of the page.

No List on David Cornhole's sight?

Impossible, the one and only civil war is in Iraq. I know, I watch CNN./sar

I followed a couple of links and found no list. I did find his quote that he would not post the list (below).

"I have a copy. I'm not going to publish it. For one, I don't know for a fact that the men on the list are gay."

This from another David Corn column:

There's a list going around. Those disseminating it call it "The List." It's a roster of top-level Republican congressional aides who are gay.

...I have a copy. I'm not going to publish it. For one, I don't know for a fact that the men on the list are gay. And generally I don't fancy outing people--though I have not objected when others have outed gay Republicans, who, after all, work for a party that tries to limit the rights of gays and lesbians and that welcomes the support of those who demonize same-sexers.

David Corn is a Socialist Worm and a pathalogical liar. His articles are suitable for nothing more than toilet paper.

It wouldn't surprise me if "the list" is nothing more than a threat. On the otherhand it wouldn't at all surprise me if names were actually sent out.

The modern day McCarthyism. This is the face of our enemy within our borders.

If stunts like this do not piss the base off, nothing will.

I would walk through a mine field covered in broken glass bare foot with a blind fold on to vote.

Any social conservative that stays home this election because we have gays in our party is a fool.

The direction Pelosi and Reid would take this country will hurt social conservatism much more than having some gays in the party!

Where Corn says "(see below)" he's referring to his older post on 'The List' that's below this one on the main page of his blog. He is not referring to 'The List' itself which he says he won't publish. The older post then sends readers to blogactive.

[ElkGroveDan]

The list is there on one of the blogs. Just follow the links. It's on a left-side sidebar.

I'm not going to publish it here, but I read it.

Sing it brother!!!!!

Gee, I seem to recall a "list" from several decades ago that Liberals despised...and still bring up till this day to silence their critics. It's interesting that they'd now employ a similar tactic.

The irony is apparently lost to the left. Amazing, ain't it.

[Antoninus]

The answer to this is easy. Just produce a list of Democrats who are secretly pro-life and send it around to every leftist group....

[DryFly]

A couple of rather well-known conservative radio and web figures on the list too.

I just moved and almost forgot to register. This whole Foley thing reminded me and I went out and registered just before the deadline. Thank you Democrats, I will be voting.

Well, this should be proof positive that a major part of the Democrats' campaign this year is dirty tricks to turn off the Republican base and make evangelical voters stay home. Revealing that George Allen is Jewish, now going after gay Republicans. It should be obvious they they are losing or they would not resort to such desperation tactics. They tried the same crap with the Bush DUI in 2000 and the fake TANG memos in 2004. Now, are we going to let them win this time or aren't we? I know I am going out this weekend for the first time in over a decade to walk precincts with my Republican Congressman. I am also going to write letters on his behalf to every newspaper in my area. What will you do?

Smells like Blackmail, doesn't it??
