KING: One Republican who is staying out of the crowded race for governor of California is former Congressman Michael Huffington. His ex-wife, Arianna, is running as an independent.

Michael Huffington joins us live now from Los Angeles. Sir, thank you for joining us on INSIDE POLITICS. Let me begin with this question. You are backing Arnold Schwarzenegger, not what some might call the established Republican candidate, Bill Simon or Peter Ueberroth getting in. What makes you think Schwarzenegger can win this race?

(disgrace....)


Bravo. The name calling is a mindless waste of time. How 'bout that for name calling.

[kezekiel]

WHy are you upset? Do you guys want to dominate the FR forum too? You folks are sure on a roll this summer!

I'm not upset, I'm ashamed and disappointed. We should have a higher tone when addressing this issue, not engage in boundless queer-baiting. Is that too much to ask? Does that make for "dominating" the forum? And who is "you folks"?

[kezekiel]

You can't be serious.

I wasn't aware that there were uniquely "homosexual" diseases.

[Tacis]

See, this is SOOOO unfair. I mean, shouldn't a bisexual be legally allowed to marry both a male and a female at the same time? When will this unfair oppression end? Why aren't the democrats doing something about the? I understand that Michael got so mad that he hit Arianna with his purse.

I think a valid health concern was expressed. No one was engaging in queer bashing. If fact I find that you are being over solicitous of the homosexual perspective without acknowledging concern for the actual dangers that men such as Huffington present to women.

It is rather hypocritical for folks to insist that this guy is "gay" rather than what he proclaims. Unless, of course, it's a threat to their position that homosexuals are "born that way" and cannot change. Both of which are lies, since we are born male or female and people make choices about sex all the time - who they'll have it with, when, how, how often, where, etc. Sex is a decision. Michael apparently decides on the basis of what is available and opportune.

Did they really hear him say,
That he was Bi,
or he was gay,
Or did he fag
got?

[em2vn]

Uniquely, certainly restricts the discussion. However, diseases that are predominately associated with homosexuals are anal syphilis and non-drug use HIV and AIDS.
Injuries that are dominated by homosexuals are damaged colons caused by fisting and the insertion of a universe of objects into the anus. Among such objects that are frequently removed from homosexual men are light bulbs, small rodents, dildos and about anything the mind can imagine.
Being factual isn't queer bashing. Denying discussion of such conduct is advancing the homosexual life style and its deadly results.

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

I can't believe you'd make a comment like that. The gay blitzkrieg is rolling right through us and you're criticizing us for queer bashing. Their is no discourse.....I'm sick of them

[madprof98]

He's a 'sperm donor', to both men and women. Deviant, lowlife, degenerate, subhuman garbage.

Sounds like an Episcopal bishop.

[Do Be]

Gay bashing? Gay Bashing?

How un PC of you.

Saying not so nice things about homosexuals. Don't you know you can't do that anymore? It's almost against the law. It is now considered more appropiate for homosexuals to have sex in public than it is for you to condemn such behavior.

If you have cable or directv there is at least one homosexual on at any given time. My dog had bad gas the other night. I couldn't get away from the smell of it. The homosexual thing is like that. The stench is pervading everything. No matter where you go there is a whiff of it in the air.

[Tribune7]

He didn't deny he's gay. He admitted it.

[headsonpikes]

I believe he is a narcissist.

IOW, bring it on, M or F, he'll find something for himself in it.

[ijcr]

I had a boss who was bi-sexual, the only way he could get sex was to buy it.

[Katya]

Lighten up, although I agree with you that the obsession with everything queer around here gets boring...I'd much rather they opine openly in regards to their queer phobias.
I pretty much take it as a guy thing...most women don't spend much time thinking about what lesbians are doing. Men just get phobic and start yelling anti-gay crap just to make sure everyone else realizes they're not gay.

[dennisw]

HUFFINGTON: Let me correct the record, for once. The article is wrong. I'm actually bisexual........

[vpintheak]

Careful with that phobic comment. That is a lie that is pervaded by the left. If I am correct, and I think I am, a phobia means a fear of something. I detest homosexuality with every fiber of my being. I am not afraid, I am disgusted. That is why most men are so vocal about it. They, like me are disguted by it. And you know us men love to holler about all sorts of things.

I'm in the health field. Would you like me to list them? You might get a little touchy so I won't. Homosexuality is mainly a health problem. Whatever mode of sexuality you prefer is OK with me as far as it only affects you but when I pay the freight for you and the victims I like to tell it like it is. True there are others that get the diseases however they often can be traced to the gay/bisexual community, but it small percentages compared to the gay population. Sodomy (both hetero and gay) is just an ideal form of transmission nothing more. What you do in your bedroom in privacy has major health implications. Sorry about that.
