Central Gossip Agency [Johnnie Walker's father is homosexual]
SF Examiner ^ | 12/19/01 | PJ Corkery

NOT THAT IT MATTERS a whit to us here in the cool, gray city of love what Frank Lindh, daddy of the Taliban warrior from Marin, does, did or dreams of doing with other consenting adults, but shouldn't he come clean with us about all the facts in the odd odyssey of his son?

Frank Lindh has been quoted time and again as saying it was his son John's reading of the "Autobiography of Malcolm X" when John was 16 in 1997 that turned his son's head and heart towards Islam. But something else then going on in the family's life may be have been just as pertinent.

When Frank Lindh left his family in 1997, it was to move in with a male companion. Yep. ... The man with whom Lindh lived has since been described as "a family friend," but other family friends say the men lived as a gay couple.

It would take a specialist in family issues to map the constellations of feelings and problems that would describe John Walker's path toward Islam in 1997, but sources close to the family say the father's turn of life from married man to modern gay man startled and flustered the 16-year-old.

Given the pummeling that the Walkers and marvy Marin County have taken from the national press over their wayward son, you can't blame the old man for wanting to suppress reporting on his sexuality. ...

He apparently played a "closeted" father in the 1972-1973 series "The Paul Lynde Show."

Did Paul Linde also have a son who joined the Taliban?

Yes, see the blond fellow above.

PJ, you're on to something. Here's the set up for the show:

"Ocean Grove, California, the residence of the Simms family: Paul [Lynde], a quiet, respectable attorney with the firm of McNish and Simms; his wife, Martha, and their two daughters, Barbara, age 21; and Sally, age 14."

Sounds just like Johnny's California family pre-breakup. Lawyer dad too!

it appears that the press may have known this for quite some time and failed to report it.

Actually, it WAS reported, subtly, but it was reported. The first article I read about Johnnie Walker mentioned Mr. Walker and his housemate ....."

"This may explain why the young Walker refused to use his father's name."

"Maybe he just didn't like Paul Lind."

Zing! You win the post of the day.

Unforunately, it's downhill all the way from there, to Judy Garland and beyond.

I vaguely remember reading some anti-gay comments among Jihad Jonnie's idiotic rap lyrics. Does anyone know where I can find the article that contained those lyrics?

the Taliban were militantly anti-homosexual. Maybe there is a connection. He certinly went in search of Certainty

Perhaps. But for sure, Johhny Jihad went in search of a lifestyle that allowed him to wear a skirt. He doesn't want to grow up to be like dad. Or even like his own true self.

Johnny Jihad could be psychoanalyzed into a puddle of pablum so nothing would ever be his fault, but the truth is, he's a traitor. Nobody cares that he's a traitor to his family; he didn't pick up an AK47 and shoot THEM in the head. He took his frustrations out on his country instead.
