On the face of it, Elena Kagan, the United States Solicitor General, and Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina would not seem to have much in common.
Kagan is a Democrat and former dean of Harvard who is currently in the frame to be chosen by President Barack Obama as a Supreme Court Justice. Graham happens to be a lawyer too but he is a Republican, a faithful sidekick of Senator John McCain and a Colonel in the US Air Force Reserve.
Last week, however, both were "outed" as being gay - actions that prompted outrage on the Left in the case of Kagan and, well, hilarity on the Left in the case of Graham.
...
Prefacing his remarks with the statement that "I'm a tolerant person", William Gheen, head of Americans for Legal Immigration, demanded that the Senator "tell people about your alternative lifestyle and your homosexuality".
Graham's crime in Gheen's eyes is that he favours immigration reform - and is (bear with me here) "trying to sell out your own countrymen" for fear of his true sexuality being revealed.

Those video tapes Rahm has must be pretty nasty.
I suspect that Lindsay’s lifestyle might be far more heinous than merely being gay.
Unlike Rats, we are willing and able to eat our ‘own’ when they go out of their way to become poltical albatrosses.
Geez it was a “secret”? To who?
Here's the link:

He’s a necrophiliac?
No kidding. Is this really a secret? Just because someone doesn’t come right out and say it, doesn’t mean other people can’t figure it out.
Cool, thanks.
Why isn't it possible for a gay guy to be conservative? SC apparently believed that Graham was conservative along with probably being gay. His sexuality was something that they didn't want to be their business.
South Carolinians are FAR more upset with Sanford for treating his wife and children so badly than they are with Lindsey Graham probably being homosexual.
Neither can be rehabilitated politically. However, they are furious with Graham on policy issues. They are more furious with Sanford for his humiliation of SC and his family.
Place is so corrupt - even the Republicans are corrupt.
Should they choose to secede, I'd let'em go - even waive their portion of the national debt!
Oh, go choke yourself on some Spanish moss. 2004, indeed. That’s when all the moveons joined FR.
I heard he is the president of the Jeffrey Dahmer Fan Club.
Oh, really?
He is being blackmailed... or gaymailed if you will... it matters.
LLS
It's not like there are any secretes there.
That fact that he's being protected tells you he's serving the other sides agenda.
Ok, an insider joke.
But seriously, the graft and kickbacks when the legistlaure passed a certain bill?
They were so brazen, they even accepted IRS Form W-1099 - from their emplyers.
The previously pulled thread outting Lindsie is now substantially back on : http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2499912/posts from the telegraph.co.uk. also outting obammie’s scotus favorite chioce kagan.
do you know of any conservative homosexual GOP politician?
i can’t name one..
if so then how does being homosexual not have anything to do with it since it appears to me that nearly all homosexual men are liberal progressives and a few fiscal moderates
not picking a fight but it does seem like the homosexual reality
I don’t agree with William on this....I guess I’m ambivalent.
I often side with Gheen to be fair but I’m not sure that calling out Graham helps ..
btw...don’t wish to dig up molding bones but Bill Gheen is a bit of a sore spot on this forum sorta like a little Jewish woman once was 10 years ago.
I don’t want to get blasted with collateral shelling again but most folks here after 2005 or so missed all the fun.
Amnesty used to be a blood sport here
All members of the Government are taught the evil and ways of blackmail. It is the fault of the recipient to ever be in that situation.
