WorldNetDaily: Your Center for Gay Republican Rumors   Joseph Farah, the CEO and editor-in-chief at WorldNetDaily, alerts us to the gay press's plot to defame members of the Bush administration by saying that they're gay.   Disclosures that an alleged homosexual escort working for a pro-Republican website was granted access to the White House press room has led to efforts in the nation's homosexual press to "out" top-ranking Bush administration officials and GOP leaders based on uncorroborated, undocumented and unnamed sources. In the last week, reports in New York's Gay City News and 365Gay.com and other homosexual-friendly publications and blogs have made specific allegations about individuals based exclusively on unnamed sources and rumors Joe seems very aware of what's going on at the all the homosexual-friendly publications and blogs -- not that there's anything wrong with that, of course! and playing off the sensational revelations about Jeff Gannon – by daylight a credentialed "reporter" covering the White House for two politically partisan websites, while allegedly moonlighting as a $200-an-hour male escort and purveyor of explicit websites like HotMilitaryStud.com and MilitaryEscorts.com. Those sites have since been removed from the Internet.  Since when?  The central target of the reports in the homosexual press is White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan, a figure who regularly called on Gannon at press conferences. Most of the reports recycle one last week by Raw Story, published by John Byrne, 24, who claims to have worked as a local reporter for the Boston Globe and as a Washington bureau reporter for the McClatchy newspapers, and seems to specialize in "outing" Republican politicians. In a report based on an unnamed source, Raw Story reported McClellan visited a homosexual bar March 19, 1995. Another anonymous source was quoted as saying McClellan regularly frequented Austin, Texas, "gay clubs." Remember, you heard all that from WorldNetDaily. Homosexual activist Wayne Besen, author of "Anything But Straight: Unmasking the Scandals and Lies Behind the Ex-Gay Myth," writing in Virginia's Falls Church News-Press, goes even further than Raw Story. Joe sure knows of a lot of obscure gay news sources . . . "The vulgar scandal (involving Gannon) has revived Washington whispers that the supposedly anti-gay Republican Party is really nothing less than a gay affirmative action program," he writes. "Glance at whose (sic) running the GOP and it looks like a Harvey Fierstein cocktail party. A few months ago, activist Mike Rogers of RawStoryQ.com revealed that GOP National Field Director Dan Gurley is gay and sought unsafe sex online. Rogers also revealed that Ken Mehlman, chair of the Republican National Committee, is gay." Wow, I hadn't heard any of these very interesting allegations.  Thanks for pointing them out, Joe. Besen concluded his column: "The Bush administration is the gayest in memory, although they are all quivering in the closet, or is that gyrating on the Internet?" According to Raw Story's Byrne, Gurley acknowledged in a phone interview last September that he is "gay." In response to a later story by Byrne last November, that Gurley "solicited unprotected sex and multiple sex partners in an online profile at Gay.com," Gurley reportedly conceded that he had a profile in his America Online screenname – that same screenname as appeared in the Gay.com profile. Attempts by WorldNetDaily to reach McClellan, Mehlman and Gurley for comment have so far proven unsuccessful. Yes, I can just imagine.  "Mr. McClellan, it's that Farah guy from WorldNetDaily -- you know, the online Christian wingnut news source that carries stories about Nephilim and demonic UFOs, and features columns by that home-schooled teen and Jerry Falwell.  Anyway, he wants to get your comments on the rumors that Ken Mehlman is gay, Dan Gurley is gay, and that you hang out in gay clubs with gays.  Do you want to take his call?" Meanwhile, last night, CBS News attempted to connect Karl Rove to Guckert. In an online report by Dotty Lynch, senior political editor for CBS News, about Rove, she speculated about a link. Joe, I'm sure Karl appreciates your effort to alert your readers to the fact that a little-read online report tried to link him with a gay prostitute, and that you lumped him in with a GOP official who reportedly solicted unprotected sex and multiple partners.    Gannon is now considering suing the bloggers, "liberal interest groups" and others for the "political assassination" that drove him from his reporting job, he tells Newsweek in its current edition. Yeah, Gannon says a lot of stuff.  Like he wrote on his USMCPT page, he's "aggresive, verbal, and dominant."  Well, a "DOMINANT TOP." I'm sure that it all means that those bloggers and liberal groups are going to get taught a lesson they'll never forget, for Jeff doesn't leave marks .... only impressions. If you'd like to sound off on this issue, please take part in the WorldNetDaily poll. Yes, please do take part.  Here are the big winners so far: What do you think about allegations of homosexuality in Bush administration? Why is it that homosexuality only matters in one political party? 22.62% (102) It's a dirty smear by political opponents 20.40% (92) I thought we weren't supposed to care what people do in their bedrooms 17.74% (80) Republicans have opened themselves to this with careless appointments 11.09% (50) And if you retain only one thing from this article, it should be that WorldNetDaily says that McClellan, Mehlman, Gurley, and Rove are gay, gay, gay, and that they used the services of a $200 an hour male prostitute.  Not that the Republican Party says there's anything wrong with that! UPDATE: It's a couple of hours later, and the answer I selected in the poll, "There are homosexuals everywhere – who cares?" is now number four.  The top three remain the same.  "The Bush administration is rife with perversion" is now number six.  4:32:48 AM     comment [] trackback []   Creating A Theme   Reader Brian alerts us to this Thomas Sowell poster and asks, " Would you ever buy such a thing?" Well, since it's $15.99, I think an economist like Sowell would advise against blowing one's hard-earned money on it -- but, as the copy says, it's "perfect for dressing up any wall, or instantly creating a theme for a room." (A Thomas Sowell-themed room!)  And I kind of like the subliminal messages it sends: "Thomas Sowell IS Che!" "Workers of the world unite: you have nothing to lose but your kidneys," and "Sowell X: By Any Wingutty Means Necessary."  So, maybe I would buy it -- but only because I've always wanted a Thomas Sowell-themed room. Anyway, in honor of our new poster hero, let's take a quick look at his latest column, "Tainted Media." The recent resignation of CNN's news director, Eason Jordan, after his outrageous remarks about our military at an international forum were reported on the Internet, is only the latest in a series of media scandals, of which Dan Rather's forged documents were just one. So, Rather's documents were just one scandal, and Jordan's remarks were just another one, giving you a series of just two, right, Thomas? And where is Thomas leading with this? Why, to Free Republic-paranoid-conspiracy theory-fantasy-land! One document whose authenticity is not likely to be questioned by the mainstream media is the honorable discharge on Senator John Kerry's web site. Yet who in the major media has investigated why that honorable discharge is dated during the Carter administration, when Kerry's military service ended years earlier? Hopefully none of them, because by looking at the discharge document (pdf), anybody who can read imediately learns that it relates to Kerry's discharge from the inactive reserves.  And as anybody who has been in the military (which  Thomas "the Crank Engine" Sowell claims he has) would know, after one completes one's active service, one may be obligated to a term of active reserve duty.  Plus, one is also obligated to a certain number of years of inactive reserve duty (meaning that one doesn't have any duties, but can be returned to active duty if called up).  John Kerry enlisted in the Navy in 1966 and was separated from active duty in 1970.  He was transferred to the Naval Reserve Manpower Center in 1970, and in 1972 his status was changed to that of "Standby Reserve Inactive."  He was officially terminated from the Naval Reserves in 1978.  It doesn't seem all that complicated or mysterious to me. This is the same media that spent months investigating George W. Bush's military record and, even after key allegations were revealed to be based on forgeries, Let's stop right there, Thomas, because actually, the alleged forgeries were revealed to be based on key allegations.  Remember that Killian's secretary said that while she didn't type the documents, the information in them was correct, and she recalled typing documents that contained the same data and sentiments. ... continued publicizing rumors and innuendoes. They didn't stop even after the President signed Form 180, opening all his military records to the public. Well, all of his records that still exist. But who in the major media has asked why John Kerry would need to be issued an honorable discharge during the Carter administration, years after leaving the navy, unless his original discharge was less than honorable? Only crackpots and wingnuts.  And they asked this months ago (you are WAY late in joining this bandwagon, Thomas). One of the few people in the media who has shown any interest at all in Kerry's military records has been Tim Russert of "Meet the Press." Like we said ... This is not about the past or ultimately even about Kerry or Bush. It is about the future of this country. A gullible public learning only what is filtered to them by a biased media is not a hopeful sign for the future of a democracy.  No, it's not.  And a gullible pundit learning only what is filtered to him from the Swift Boat Vets via FreeRepublic is not a hopeful sign for intelligent life at Townhall. Some of the public have begun to wake up but more need to do so. Many in the media also need to wake up to what they are doing, or failing to do, when their politics taints their work. Of course, while writing this column Thomas had his fingers in his ears and was singing "La, la, la, I can't hear anything about Jeff Ganonn." 12:06:05 AM     comment [] trackback []
