But note CNN's coverage here. If a Republican were to smear a Democrat like this, the story would be about the Republican's outrageous tactics and how the Republican must be a desperate loser.
But a sociopath kook calling himself a Republican spews this kind of slime at a Republican front-runner, and the story is about how the front-runner is "facing questions about his sexual orientation."
They dutifully provide a minimal mention that Martin is "controversial," but that hardly mitigates the smear here.
Andy Martin is a waste of perfectly good air, and CNN is close behind.
I’m sure they give just as much time to that Larry who said Obama is gay. /s
I notice this guy has said things about Obama as well, but they don’t tell you what they were.
“Andy Martin, already controversial for previous remarks about Barack Obama,”
But those they won’t repeat.
Martin-Trigona has previously run as a democrat in Illinois, too, and no mention is made of that in the article. Of the fact that he was never admitted to the Illinois bar because of what the ABA called “moderately severe character defect manifested by well-documented ideation with a paranoid flavor and a grandiose character.”
Kirk’s spokesman says flatly that the allegation is untrue and it gets buried. Typical CNN.
where is all the money coming from for this smear???
another dnc operative hooked up with CNN , what a shock.
Sure will be interesting to find out if Andy becomes the Senator from Illinois if he THEN will have legal standing in D.C. to bring the birth certificate issue to court.
*Another Mark Kirk ping*
Allow me to tell you. You need not to be angry about this. Kirk is DIABLO (Democrat In All But Label Only) sludge.
We need this guy to lose the GOP primary or else the general election will be between 2 democrats. I don't know if he's fruity or not and I don't care but if the allegation that he is hurts him, super. Remember now he's a democrat in the GOP and that's not an exaggeration. I'm gonna go ahead and treat him like one. He's a liberal, not a moderate.
Now Andy Martin is very strange and less than a good conservative himself, I don't think he could even win an election. But there are 3 credible conservatives in the race. John Arrington, Patrick Hughes, and Don Lowery. There has not been much polling so far but I'm sure more polls will be conducted. If one is clearly in a superior position to win I will vote for that candidate and urge Illinois conservatives to do the same.
