NYT ^ | 25 Oct 2006 | DAVID D. KIRKPATRICK

Calling the Gay Mailers Bluff ^

One blog site that has been tracking the SSP site, warns that if HRC doesn’t come clean about its role in this Republican gay outing campaign, it will be exposed on Friday: Open letter to Joe Solmonese: It is your responsibility to rid the HRC of the SSP gang. It is important for you to do so; doing nothing is connivance.When I started this pursuit (or stumbled in), I knew nothing of the HRC or its mission. I am now thoroughly aware of how many people rely on the HRC to forward the rights of the LGBT community. Underhanded tactics of a few not only tarnish the organization but also its mission. If you do not act, I will. Friday is your deadline or I name names.gtl Update: So who’s calling? The MSM (main stream media), that’s who.

Keep in mind that the "Stop Sex Predators" blog began last JULY. The WHOLE purpose of that blog wasn't to stop Sex Predators but ONLY to expose Mark Foley and damage Republicans.

What does this have to do with Hillary Rodham Clinton?

From the article at the source:
The rights campaign’s spokesman, David Smith, said the employee, whose name he declined to disclose, was a junior staff member hired last month to help mobilize the organization’s members in Michigan. “The minute we learned about it we took decisive action,” Mr. Smith said.

Why isn't the so-called "Human Rights Campaign" naming this clown? Why are they protecting this person? Why doesn't the Al-Qaeda times press for the name of this person?

There would be shreiking and wall to wall 24/7 coverage if a conservative activist had done the same thing.

I am so glad my kids are not in gubment schools and are exposed mostly to the new media outlets ratehr than the drive by media outlets.

"More likely that even some gays have a problem with an older man soliciting a minor."

You know, I'd like to think you're right. But as much as I don't care to legislate against homosexual deviance, I am starting to think their silence on this whole Foley thing is about approval of Foley's actions. Seems to me the first thing that any gay group would have to do to achieve mainstream acceptance would be to disavow a guy like Foley, who was basically sexually harassing kids...I'm not sure if ANY of them have.

If it wasn't for NAMBLA I might even believe you.

The night before (9:30 p.m.) the prefabbed scandal broke the Senate with Hillry voting YEA passed the House version of the Border Security bill.

Somebody in liberalville does not want it to be known about how important Border Security is to the American public.

Notice how very very little has been covered in the media hot lights about this bill, 80 YEAS and 19 NAYS and one lone non-voter old Teddy Kennedy himself.
