"It wasn't FreeRepublic.com that rallied around Sullivan; those conservative "enclaves" are too busy tossing kindling on the pyres to burn the sodomites. Their latest cause is blasting the Bush administration for apologizing on behalf of the Navy crewmen who painted "hijack this, fags" on missiles headed toward Afghanistan."One paragraph, so many lies and distortions. This liberal mouse has no familiarity whatsoever with Free Republic if he thinks we are monolithic in our thoughts and opinions on any subject. What a maroon....
The important thing to remember is that Sullivan must be brought down by the left for two reasons:
1. He is a turncoat gay.
2. He edits the New Republic, a bastion of liberalism.
Talbot, otoh, cannot abide Sullivan's success and notoriety (which contrasts nicely, btw, with the absolute steaming t*rd that Salon.com has become).
Be Seeing You,
