It's like a weird re-make of the Senator Robert C Byrd Klansmen

Because it is highly unlikely Craig would win as the author of the rumor would claim "satire" or some other journalist B.S. and hide behind the 1st Amendment.
"Well, if it has "no basis in fact", then they should push forward with a slander suit. Of course, we're sure the Senator doesn't want a full investigation, so we suspect that he'll just sweep it under the carpet. Like his sexuality, perhaps?"
The authors of this screed are not stupid, just evil. They are smart enough to know that they wrote that line just for the ignorant that do not know that it is very difficult for public figures to win slander suits, on a he-said he-said story. So, the full purpose of that line was to convince the ignorant that the lack of a lawsuit by the Senator lends truth to the charges. It doesn't.
How is Senator Craig anti-gay? Did he support the Defense of Marriage Act and/or the Marriage Amendment? Isn't it possible to be gay, and in favor of gay rights in general, and opposed same sex marriage? Have we reached a point where gays have to support a radical gay agenda, all blacks must support radical black efforts, i.e. slave reparations, or else they will be considered to be hypocrites and bigots themselves?
I really hope someone looks into his threats. If this is the DNC's other shoe, they should stop off at Payless and find another.
Senator Craig ought to sue him for every penny he's got.
Why would the Senator want to give these pieces of filth any more publicity?!
As a former Capitol Hill staffer, let me tell you guys about my own experience getting to know Senator Larry Craig, who at the time was Congressman Craig and had yet to become Senator. I worked in the Longworth House Office Building and was eating lunch by myself very quickly in a crowded cafeteria one day when Congressman Craig introduced himself and asked to join me. He asked who I worked for, and after realizing that I was a fellow right wing Republican, he really opened up and started a long and detailed conversation about life, politics, philosophy, etc...
To be honest, I was a little creeped out at first, since he did give off that "homo vibe" a little bit, but after this and future meetings, I realized that he was merely a very friendly guy who was very interested in younger Republicans and the future of the party. I got to know him pretty well when I was there and I would be VERY shocked if it turned out he was gay.
But that said, his behavior and "over-friendly" nature around younger men could easily be mis-construed or manipulated. Believe me, there WAS a closeted Gay Republican Congressman that we all knew about back in the late 1980's and early 1990's, but it was NOT Larry Craig.

A homosexual Republican is not what we may want but it's not the end of the earth as long as they are representing their state. What Democrat homosexuals don't get is Republicans are not identified by their sexual behavior but our character and values that represent our voters. On their side, it's all about identity politics. On our side it's about representing our values. If one of those is off base we will judge the representative on his or her total character, not one issue.
If anyone wants proof, just consider the Joe Lieberman candidacy. I would never vote for Lieberman but I accept his state of CT is not my state of CO. But because of one issue the Democrats have thrown him overboard and continue to bash him and disparage him. That too is a disgrace. To be a Democrat one has to accept all their crazy ideas and positions or your dumped.
Yawn...
Pingout tomorrow.
