White House gets CBS to remove blog post alleging possible high court nominee is gay
Yahoo news ^ | April 16, 2010 | Yahoo News

There's not yet an official nominee to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens — but the Obama White House's rapid-response machine is already working overtime to squelch speculation over the politics of the nominations process. Last week, it took just a few hours for the administration's communications team to tamp down a rumor that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was on the short list of prospective nominees. (See our coverage of the Hillary rumor, and other names floated at the margins of the nomination debate here.) And yesterday, the administration blasted CBS News for a blog post on its Web site claiming that one of the people who is reportedly on that list — U.S. Solicitor General Elena Kagan — is a lesbian, eventually getting the news organization to retract the claim and take down the post.

Enough is enough. Our government and the Constitution is not a joke or a toy for this manchild.

We must stop him now.

Time to give Drudge a heads up about this one. This brazen White House act will only add more fuel to the fire.

I heard that U.S. Solicitor General Elena Kagan is a lesbian?

Has anybody else heard that?

can’t call mooslem terrorists islamists or islamofacists...can’t point out an obama nominee is gay....

yet it’s open season on people like you and I- hardworking, taxpaying Americans who dissent against the facist regime in Washington...also commonly referred to as teabaggers by the neo-commies on the left...

Once upon a time, there was a magic bullet....and the guy who came up with the idea is still a Senator....The moral of the story is that there is a tooth fairy.

CBS useually clears all of its material with Obama in advance. This one must have slipped through.

This is like something out of the TV series “Jericho”. The government directly controls the news. It is scary... This is not the America I grew up in. Or maybe it was, and I am just now discovering what a free press is.

“And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth. ‘Who controls the past’ ran the Party slogan, ‘controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.’”

Is this part of the Obama administration behavior of declaring that night is really day, and then when they win they exclaim how wonderful the night really is?

Are they trying to hush up the sexuality of their nominee because they're gearing up to fight the various state Defense of Marriage acts and need a ringer on the bench?

"We didn't know she was gay when we nominated her. But now that she's on the bench..."
