Has Andrew Sullivan been “Brocked” a la David Brock?

He's gone from the Bush fold. He won't be back. He is a one issue commentator. By that I mean that despite his evident brilliance on a whole range of topics, only one issue really matters to him. And since W has now set himself in opposition to him on that issue, Sullivan will ratchet up his criticism and soon openly call for the president's defeat in November.

Look for Sullivan to endorse Edwards. He's hot for the guy.

At this rate, that should be about as comical as Michael Moore endorsing Clark (right before his candidacy collapsed).

He refuses to answer email

I beg to differ. I wrote a theological challenge to gay "marriage" and he personally answered me from a non-public email address (ie, not the one he posts on his site.)

The percentage of gays that are relatively normal (in other than their sexual orientation) is pretty low. I live in a 'gay' area of Atlanta and work with several openly gay people. They are without doubt the most neurotic people I have ever met.

I doesn't surprise me that Andrew Sullivan is going off the deep end when it comes to gay marriage. He has successfully appeared to be 'conservative' to many people over the past several years. But scratch the surface of most gay people and you will find a self-hating neurotic whose almost singular purpose in life (aside from worshipping their own sex organ) is in trying to make the world embrace their perversions.

If you've read his blog in the past few days, it's clear that he will no longer support Bush. For him, homosexual rights are more important than the War on Terror and Islamofascism. If he were to say something along the lines of "well, I really think Bush is wrong here, but since he is the only candidate who is serious about the war, I have to support him" I'd cut him some slack. But he's done the opposite. Read his blog.

Although, I do find hypocrisy shown by the contrast between his homosexual cruising ads and his writings in favor of a more conservative homosexual life sytle as distasteful in him as I always have in the Jim Baker's and others on the religious right.

By the way, the story about Sullivan's "bareback" sex ads was aired in mainstream media outlets over a year ago.

Bingo (sadly).

[Unam Sanctam]

That has been my experience as well -- at most one gets a two or three word flippant response to email, but usually nothing.

Anathema sit.

It couldn't be otherwise. Anathema fuit, anathema est, anathema semper esto.

[lentulusgracchus]

Thanks for the rational critique and for witholding ad hominem attacks. This response is helpful to conservatives.

You seem to be more upset about conservatives' ad hominem than you are by Sullivan's in homine.

[KayEyeDoubleDee]

Its amazing how often sex (or perversion) trumps sanity, even for someone who seems as otherwise reasonable as Sullivan.

Like anyone else who didn't like The Passion, Andrew Sullivan who supports President Bush, is getting "the treatment" being crucified, as it were, for his views. Can't you just feel the love, and tolerance. :)

[Miles Vorkosigan]

So which part of my post do you disagree with? Are you denying any of my claims about him? All are off his own website.

Incidentally, if you go to his website now, you'll see that he's now linking, apparently sympathetically, to some wacko left-wing lawyer who's worried that the FMA will eliminate abortions.

Are you suggesting that other homosexuals are targeting Sullivan because he didn't like The Passion of the Christ?

[NYCVirago]

So – it appears that Andrew has decided to fend off one accusation of hypocrisy by adopting a hypocritical position that supports the people who outed him. Got it?! It worked on David Brock, and its working with Andrew Sullivan.

Good post. And after Sullivan was "outed" for these ads, he opposed attacks on Clinton over the Lewinsky scandal, and accused Republicans of engaging in "sexual McCarthyism".

[Snuffington]

I think of Andrew Sullivan like I would an addict. He is addicted to his sexual desires, and trashes anything else of value in his life in pursuit of them. His sexual desires have caused him to abandon both his religion (Catholicism) and his politics (Republican). And what's more, there isn't much of an attempt to justify this in anything other than emotional terms.

He is more attached to his homosexual desires than to his faith or his country.

He HATES his country. That's why he's living in ours. I say invoke the anti-queer passage of the Immigration and Nationalization Act and throw his butt back to Merrie Old. "And STAY out!"

By the way, the story about Sullivan's "bareback" sex ads was aired in mainstream media outlets over a year ago.

Sullivan addressed it on his site at the time. He fingered a guy named Michelangelo Signorile as the guy outing him. Apparently we're supposed to know who Michelangelo whatsis is... I don't (nor do I care).

One thing that explains some of Sullivan's aggressiveness in various modes is that he is a big-time testosterone user. That explains also some of the results he gets weight lifting. He has also discussed the testosterone use on his site, I believe it is part of his AIDS therapy... dunno... not looking for any injections here (of either kind).

d.o.l.
