I almost hate to admit it, but I used to have AssBlog as my home page, I look back on it now and wonder what the hell was wrong with me. When it was Bush Bash all day long, it seemed to be a great place for links to great stories. After Obama appeared on the same stage as a preacher who said some anti-gay things, (no really a preacher saying anti-gay things, I can't freakin believe it) and then Assvosis turned on Obama. It's that guilt by association thing that they seem to be hung up on. I'm afraid to meet anyone anymore, who knows how I might be associated with them later on in life. We need to target this "guilt by association" trend and get the hell rid of it. It seems to be just a convenient way to hate someone for no GOOD reason, but by who they might have met once, or were neighbors with, or were on the same board with, or in this case "a top gay Democrat close to Obama". I wonder if the word "top" was chosen for a reason by Har"wood".....sorry about that, tongue firmly in cheek. So how can you freakin take the leap to put those words in Obama's mouth. It's hard to understand the venom from some of these folk. Assvosis, I love it.

I honestly don't care what anyone thinks of me or my views, okay? Thanks though! And yes, I did misunderstand your original comment. Now you know that I do NOT go there or to any other right wing site. I know how the assholes feel about every topic and going to a right wing site will not change their minds. Hell, they come to my blog thinking they can change mine and guess what? They can't! Ha ha. Sami, I won’t click on it. I honestly don’t care what anyone thinks of me or my views, okay? Thanks though!

I am an expert in LIVING for 70 years, 44 of them "out of the closet. Since 1965, I've been fired from two good management jobs for being gay after jealous co-workers outed me. I've had about 98% of my frat brothers (pledged "brothers forever") to sit shiva" for me (IOW, I'm dead to them). So I am no newcomer in gaydom, but I am not an activist pushing for getting ALL my desires satisfied right now! The reich would love another WEDGE ISSUE to work against liberals. If you think the townhall meetings are wild now??? They are even picketing outside of second graders' school windows because little kids sang a song honoring our first black president during Black History Month. Let the gay activists raise hell (of course while collecting a paycheck in many cases), and let's see a Republican Congress and White House again by 2012. IF Obama is re-elected, he will have FOUR MORE YEARS, until 2016, to promote repeals of DOMA, DADT, etc. which, don't forget, will need CONGRESSIONAL approval! Right now I think only a hate crimes bill to cover everyone would be enough on his very full plate and probably have the support of a MAJORITY of Americans. However, those who are out of work, losing their homes, losing loved ones in Iraq/Afghanistan have OTHER CONCERNS more important TO THEM than whether some homosexuals down the street can get a marriage license. Some of these activist "experts" remind me of bratty kids at Toys 'R Us, throwing a tantrum in the aisle, not getting a toy RIGHT NOW, not able to wait until a birthday or Christmas.

It was when she viciously went after Caroline Kennedy who wanted to replace Hillary Clinton's seat in the Senate. Actually, vicious isn't even close to how Jane bashed Caroline. Caroline is a REAL PROGRESSIVE LIBERAL WHO WHEN PUSHED FROM THE WOMB HER FIRST TWO WORDS WERE: peace & equality! But noooooooooooooooo, that didn't matter to Jane. Nope! Jane wanted to be sooooo right about Caroline by saying Caroline was unqualified, hadn't run for any kind of office, and is just not what WE need right now. Oh for the love of the Biscuit Mix, CAROLINE WAS RAISED AS A PROGRESSIVE LIBERAL, IS A PROGRESSIVE LIBERAL, AND JUST LIKE US WHO HAVE NEVER RAN FOR OFFICE, WE KNOW WE WOULD DO A DAMN GOOD JOB IF GIVEN THE CHANCE! Not good enough for Jane and the other Big Mouths. Caroline dropped out, Jane was ecstatic, patted herself on the back, and then we get stuck with the CONSERVADEM that's in there now! Good gawd. How nice it would be today if A KENNEDY WAS ALIVE IN THE SENATE TO TALK SMACK ABOUT HEALTH CARE REFORM! Damn these effing "powerful liberal bloggers"! I am completely for gay rights in this country. Always have been. Hell, I was the only Mainer a few Sundays ago to PROTEST TONY PERKINS (of the "Family" Research Council) AND 3,000 OF HIS BUTTLICKERS all by myself, BECAUSE THAT'S HOW MUCH I SUPPORT THE LGBT RIGHTS IN THIS COUNTRY! Jane? She says she supports them, but IS NOT USING HER POWER TO RALLY PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY TOGETHER. She's using it to bitch and moan about crap that has nothing to do with anything! So sick of it.
