Maybe just maybe seeing your father leave the family to live with another man causes "confusion".

Central Gossip Agency [Johnnie Walker's father is homosexual]

You think that's bad?!!!

Jack Daniels' dad was a Damn Yankee!!!!

What? Same gender hanky-panky in Marin county? Whoaa...stop the presses.

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?

they didn't interfere when once he announced at 16 that he was going to drop out of Tamiscal High School - the elite ''alternative'' school where students determined their own course of study and only saw a teacher once a week.

For as long as he could remember, his oh-so-progressive parents had answered ''yes'' to his every whim, indulged his every fancy, permitted - even praised - his every passion. The only thing they insisted on was that nothing be insisted on. Nothing in his life was important enough for them to make an issue of: not his schooling, not his religion, not his appearance, not even whether he stayed in America or moved - while still a minor - to a benighted Third World oligarchy halfway around the world. Nothing. Except, of course, their right to call him by the name of their favorite Beatle.

Devout practitioners of the self-obsessed nonjudgmentalism for which the Bay Area is renowned, Lindh and Walker appear never to have rebuked their son or criticized his choices. In their world, there were no absolutes, no fixed truths, no mandatory behavior, no thou-shalt-nots. If they had one conviction, it was that all convictions are worthy - that nothing is intolerable except intolerance.

According to FOX News Johnny's Dad hired an expensive lawyer and the guy has been FAX bombing every news outlet in the country with whiny, sympathetic spin-jobs every day. This is obviously an attempt to win support in the local San Fran gay community.

That little piece of crap had better "fall" off that boat over there. I'm getting damn sick and tired of all these leadin stories being written to prep us for his eventual release with no charges or trial.

This is BS. Lose the turd, Navy. Or why the hell should we continue to cough up taxes and pretend the stupid government does anything right? If they can't do justice with this guy, then they just can't do justice at all.

Homosexuals today are as brazen as they were in Soddom & Gomorrah-wake up America before it is too late!Homosexuals and liberals are almost one in the same and most certainly approach their agendas the same way and we must not cower to them.I am affraid though that if you raise your voice to a Republican he will retreat.

With Atta and Osama, that makes at least 3 sexually abnormal types in this story. Then...there's Geraldo...

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

Forgot to mention Bill and Hillary Clinton, whose preoccupation with Monica matters led to a criminal neglect of national security. This IS a sex story!

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 is very expensive to live in the Bay Area. Perhaps he moved in with a family friend when he left his wife -- I don't find this as evidence of anything. Who are these anonymous "family friends". They don't sound very friendly to me.

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.

Now they are "sources close to the family" rather than friends. Still, with such an accusation, shouldn't the names/relationship to family be published?

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.

Or maybe he's not gay. Can I blame the purfeshinal jurnilist for furthing his career by spreading vicious gossip?

For those of you who have not been slimed in the press, your turn will come.

Just goes to show:

When you raise your child in a moral vacuum, the results will suck.

Maybe daddy Walker can give Johnny a few tips on how to become popular on the cellblock.

[Roy Tucker]

No wonder the kid uses his mother's maiden name. I would be pretty disgusted with my father for that.

The kicker of a story is that the man who was speaking for the father before the lawyer got into the scene was a gay man who owned bath houses (You remember them? They were shutdown when the AIDS started up with gay people.) in cali. His name was Bill Jones bathhouse king of cali.
