Wow, that guy is a scumbag (Not Lindsey Graham), seriously. What reason does that asshole have to demand this? What, honesty? Bullshit. He’s in front of a bunch of anti-immigration bigots who already hold bad views on gays, I wonder if he’s trying to dehumanize Graham even more to these idiots.

And those bigots updated the tags removing the explicitly offensive terms. But I had actually seen the video prior to this report, and the tags did include “queer” and “fag”. Again, stay very classy right-wing bigots.

This is so despicable and irrelevant.

Yeah, like the liberal bigots who refer to him as Ms. Lindsey??

I like Graham… he’s not always as forceful or well defined as I (personally) think he should be, but I like that he’s got a strong independent streak.

Of course, this attack on him is dumb and offensive. I’m sure the left and the media will eat this up (as they like to do), even though the value or actual influence this group has is fairly debatable. How long until someone on the left paints “ALL” Republicans/Conservatives this way? Should happen in about 3… 2… 1…

If you want to see real liberal hate towards Graham’s sexuality, whatever it is, as if it’s anyone’s business, just go to HP. It is full of gay bashers.

This is appalling. This makes me ashamed to call myself a conservative. Unlike the faux “racism” that the Tea Partiers are being accused of daily, this is true bigotry. It is unacceptable, and it needs to end. Luckily, there are a few brave, eloquent Republicans who are standing up for gay rights, especially the great Ted Olson.

On ALIPAC’s Twitter page, it says his name is William Gheen. Might wanna fix that possible typo :)

Why did I know upon reading the headline that this scandal was being presented to us by Glynnis?
That asshat may be a conservative, but he is not one of us.
I don’t suppose that there are any Democrats that some of you liberals wish would go away to never be heard from again?

This is despicable. I don’t care who the speaker is, what his party or ideology is or what is purpose was. This is a very sad commentary on the state of political discourse in America.

I have yet to see a nexus between being gay and a desire to allow illegal immigration.

If you’ll recall, the first steps in discrediting Crist were conservative fringists claiming he was gay. I suppose we have a pattern here, but I’m not sure what the end game is.

That’s bunk, TRRK.

The people who FIRST discredited Crist were those leftists who used that claim as a way of discrediting his support for “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy and for his being a Republican in general.

TRRK~

To be fair, and I’m sure you wanna be fair, I lived in SC when Graham last ran for Senate and the Dem he ran against tried to use this against him.

I live in Florida now and when Crist ran for Governor, a Lib activist tried using the gay claim against him at the last moment of the campaign.

Both sides do it. Win at any cost. Hideous.

So much for basing gay rights upon a constitutional right to privacy…

For years, “liberal activists” were after Crist for what they effectively described as his being an anti-gay homosexual.

Graham does have an independent-esque streak.. I don’t mind him too much. Who cares if he is gay or not.

@ChuckfromTacoma

Which asshat is not one of ya’ll?

I believe from the context, Chuck was saying Mr. Gheen is the aforementioned “asshat.”

I agree with you completely, Christine, and as I said it matters not who said it.

Calm down, Cecelia, dearest. I agree that was said, but you also know very well that some conservative political operatives have been touting outing Crist for a very good while, indeed. Remember all of the “jokes” about his getting married solely so he could run for the Senate?

What I don’t understand is why Mary Cheney receives special treatment. Yes, I know some liberals raise her orientation as part of “aren’t rightists a bunch of hypocrites” meme and a number of conservatives have objected to her inseminations, but the groups have been special and muted. Why? Less high profile? A woman? Admiration for her mean old man and her blabbering sister? There is an interesting question here.

I am afraid we’re no more over the sexual orientation issues than we are the racial ones.

Graham is every bit as irritating as one of those tags in the neck of a shirt, but he didn’t deserve this from anyone, nor did Crist.

As I recall, Cecelia, the insufferable Katherine Harris was thought to be a source from which many of these planted rumors came. During the Republican primary ….

the insufferable Katherine Harris”

She is a RINO and is one of yours , TRRK.

Glynnis, not being familiar with ALIPAC I googled it. The first 6 or 7 pages of results went right back to ALIPAC.

So, I tried an AP search. Results were zero.

At Fox there were 3 links spread out over 3 years.

Obviously this outfit is not anywhere near front and center of anything so why did you consider anything they said or did important enough to even mention?

Leftist loonies love this stuff. It warms the cockles of their little black hearts to try and connect a screw-loose nutball with legitimate, conservative people. Nice try but no cigar for you.

This is another “tp-esque” post. Grasping at straws, so to speak.

With so many, many problems facing us today–terrorists, economy, runaway spending by our fiscally irresponsible government, porous borders, take your pick, how much good does it do to waste time and effort in some smear campaign when the energy required to do so could be so well utilized in solving real problems?

I’m not saying the Republicans don’t do stuff like that–they do–but wrong is wrong and this kind of crap is wrong.

I hope this info it isn’t existence utilised as leverage over Senator Graham, so today I think Senator Graham, you need to come forward and verify people about your alternative style and your homosexuality..
digital camera memory cards

IF indeed he has an “alternative” lifestyle.

Who cares if he’s gay or not. Agree or disagree with his positions, don’t try to debase them by attempting to humiliate him. (I ain’t a big fan of his, but I could care less who he sleeps with.)

Typical far right hit job….they of course will try to repudiate it since its so over the top but if this were made about Obama, you know it would be their latest rallying call.
Far right Conservatives think they are at war with just about everyone, they are hateful fearful people and and so all is fair…the end always justifies the means…they are like a cancer in American society.. and this is just another example…

maybe at some point Republicans will recognize the nature of the “people?” they are so cozy with…
