BRADLEY MANNING: POSTER BOY FOR 'DON'T ASK, DON'T TELL' 
by Ann Coulter
December 1, 2010

The two biggest stories this week are WikiLeaks' continued publication of classified government documents, which did untold damage to America's national security interests, and the Democrats' fanatical determination to repeal "don't ask, don't tell" and allow gays to serve openly in the military. 

The mole who allegedly gave WikiLeaks the mountains of secret documents is Pfc. Bradley Manning, Army intelligence analyst and angry gay. 

We've heard 1 billion times about the Army translator who just wanted to serve his country, but was cashiered because of whom he loved. 

I'll see your Army translator and raise you one Bradley Manning. 
According to Bradley's online chats, he was in "an awkward place" both "emotionally and psychologically." So in a snit, he betrayed his country by orchestrating the greatest leak of classified intelligence in U.S. history. 

Isn't that in the Army Code of Conduct? You must follow orders at all times. Exceptions will be made for servicemen in an awkward place. Now, who wants a hug? Waitress! Three more apple-tinis!" 

According to The New York Times, Bradley sought "moral support" from his "self-described drag queen" boyfriend. Alas, he still felt out of sorts. So why not sell out his country? 

In an online chat with a computer hacker, Bradley said he lifted the hundreds of thousands of classified documents by pretending to be listening to a CD labeled "Lady Gaga." Then he acted as if he were singing along with her hit song "Telephone" while frantically downloading classified documents. 

I'm not a military man, but I think singing along to Lady Gaga would constitute "telling" under "don't ask, don't tell." 

Do you have to actually wear a dress to be captured by the Army's "don't ask, don't tell" dragnet? 

What constitutes being "openly" gay now? Bringing a spice rack to basic training? Attending morning drills decked out as a Cher impersonator? Following Anderson Cooper on Twitter? 

Also, U.S. military, have you seen a picture of Bradley Manning? The photo I've seen is only from the waist up, but you get the feeling that he's wearing butt-less chaps underneath. He looks like a guy in a soldier costume at the Greenwich Village Halloween parade. 

With any luck, Bradley's court-martial will be gayer than a Liza Minelli wedding. It could be the first court-martial in U.S. history to feature ice sculptures and a "Wizard of Oz"-themed gazebo. "Are you going to Bradley's court-martial? I hear Patti LaBelle is going to sing!" 

Maybe there's a reason gays have traditionally been kept out of the intelligence services, apart from the fact that closeted gay men are easy to blackmail. Gays have always been suspicious of that rationale and perhaps they're right. 

The most damaging spies in British history were the Cambridge Five, also called "the "Magnificent Five": Kim Philby, Guy Burgess, Anthony Blunt, Donald Maclean and John Cairncross. They were highly placed members of British intelligence, all secretly working for the KGB. 

The only one who wasn't gay was Philby. Burgess and Blunt were flamboyantly gay. Indeed, the Russians set Burgess up with a boyfriend as soon as he defected to the Soviet Union. 

The Magnificent Five's American compatriot Michael Straight was -- ironically -- bisexual, as was Whittaker Chambers, at least during the period that he was a spy. And of course, there's David Brock. 

So many Soviet spies were gay that, according to intelligence reporter Phillip Knightley, the Comintern was referred to as "the Homintern." (I would have called it the "Gay G.B.") 

Bradley's friends told the Times they suspected "his desperation for acceptance -- or delusions of grandeur" may have prompted his document dump. 

Let's check our "Gay Profile at a Glance" and ... let's see ... desperate for acceptance ... delusions of grandeur ... yep, they're both on the gay subset list! 

Obviously, the vast majority of gays are loyal Americans -- and witty and stylish to boot! But a small percentage of gays are going to be narcissistic hothouse flowers like Bradley Manning.

Doesn't she have a great sense of humor?

[paudio]

LOL!

[Syncro]

This whole thing can be summed up in two words...Bradley Manning Obama Soros

Miss Manners is just the conduit.

[RichInOC]

Brad Manning is one spy I’d just as soon not see doing prison time. He might enjoy it too much.

[M. Espinola]

Poof & Puff.

She is dead on here. I know some gay folks and they are OK except when you really talk to them they invariably are unstable in both their life and ideals. It could be their lifestyle or something else. I don't care what they do at home but once you start forcing unstable people into important roles due to PC, we are doomed.

Our new Armey uniform.

If ‘don’t ask, don’t tell” does get repealed, the Bradley Mannings of this world will get a rude awakening if they try to play grab ass in the Marine baracks.

Stand tall:

From the Halls of Montezuma
To the shores of Tripoli
We fight our country’s battles
In the air, on land, and sea;
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean;
We are proud to claim the title
Of United States Marine.

Arlo Guthrie alludes to this in his 1967 anti-draft song, “Alice’s Restaurant.” He says something to the effect that if two guys together, at their draft physical, sing “You can get anything you want at Alice’s restaurant,” that “they’ll think you are both faggots and won’t take either of you.”

Yes. Getting a security clearance WAS once a serious matter. You WOULD actually be investigated by someone who knew what they were doing, and if you had issues, there was a reasonable chance they would be revealed.

Since the Clintons took over the White House in 1993, the security process went into the dumpster and never came out. It was as if the floodgates had opened. (See Gary Aldrich’s take on this in “Unlimited Access”)

There was a time being an open homosexual was not only a disqualifier for any kind of security clearance, you would have been ejected from the military without much preamble.

The fact of the matter is, allowing open homosexuality (or even unverified “look the other way” homosexuality as in DADT) not only does not fix the problem, it makes it worse. The reason is, that there are still people who don’t want it to be known that they engage in homosexual activity, even if one was able to do it openly.

That leaves people open for blackmail. That may well have happened in this case, postulated by people who don’t believe he did this alone. The sexual blackmail angle is thousands of years old, and works just as well today as it did back then.

[PhiloBedo]

They should both be executed, just like the Rosenbergs.

[POWERSBOOTHEFAN]

WTF?!

[RonDog]

They should both be executed, just like the Rosenbergs.

There's a word for what these guys have done:

[POWERSBOOTHEFAN]

Silly faggots,d**ks are are for chicks!

Queers gossip more than girls

Yep, little Annie is going to catch hell for this. I love her. What a wit and pretty to boot.

On the topic of these two being gay...did anybody hear Rush call the wiki guy “peter breath”? I was driving and not really paying attention...but I swear I think that is what I heard. Nearly drove off the road I was laughing so hard. Gotta love Rush....he is still the funniest guy ever.

Haven't heard that name since 5th grade!

[heye2monn]

Ooops, I missed the quotes. But you’re right, she is a brilliant writer.

[Enterprise]

I liked this one:

"But a small percentage of gays are going to be narcissistic hothouse flowers like Bradley Manning."

Eerily, it sounds like a description of Obama also.

[Chode]

the little fag is the poster child for why berets should be earned... NOT ISSUED too!!!

...can anyone post or direct me to a Cliff Notes version of her speech before the Homo group earlier this Fall?

From dailycaller.com:

...In a speech to about 150 GOProud supporters who gathered at the home of billionaire entrepreneur Peter Thiel in New York City, Coulter acknowledged that gays could play an important role in the conservative movement, but was clear about her continued opposition to gay marriage.

“I thought I’d try to talk you out of gay marriage,” Coulter said. “I will warn you that I have never failed to talk gays out of gay marriage.”

While the crowd seemed thrilled to hear the best-selling author roll off a string of classic Coulter one-liners that left many of them in stitches –“It’s hard to believe this now, but when Obama was running for president he presented himself as a moderate Democrat. To be fair, in Kenya he is a moderate.” — her speech against gay marriage failed to find many converts, if any.

At the crux of her argument, Coulter said that marriage was for procreation and insisted gays had no grounds to base support for gay marriage on civil rights.

“It’s not a civil right,” she said. “You’re not black.”

After her prepared remarks, Coulter opened the floor for questions, and got flooded.

When asked by 22-year-old college student Matt Hissey from Westchester, Pennsylvania to explain why she thought the Fourteenth Amendment, which ensures equal protection under the law, did not apply to gays who want to get married, Coulter replied, “It’s for the blacks, it’s for the blacks.”

Alexander McCobin, who heads up the libertarian group Students for Liberty, asked if the government should just get out of marriage altogether. Coulter replied that the institution was too important to be left to society without the government’s support, arguing that marriage “has got to be defended.”
