So Dan and I have had repeated conversations over the past year expressing our wonderment and the anti-GayPatriot commenters who, while loathing and despising every punctutation mark written here, nonetheless seem to troll on the site and attack at a moment’s notice of a new posting or friendly commenter.
One of the most amusing and angry of our commenters is “GayCowboyBob” who seems to gain his oxygen from doing nothing but badmouthing the hosts of this blog and everyone else in the world that thinks the sky is blue. His attacks of late have been more frequent and more “loud” than ever. Which makes his own words, on his own blog even more interesting…. especially since the last posting was September 20th.
Here’s the entire text from the existing posting on The Gay GOP Roundup – 9/20/05:
Gay Patriot – Big, Fat Partisan Blowhards
So as you can see I haven’t been blogging much of late. Traveling, busy schedule etc. have all been getting in the way.
But for the time being, until I decide to start posting more regularly, I need to post one more entry.
It is that the site GayPatriot has become so over-the-top partisan that I feel any further dialogue on my part simply wastes my time.
(GP Editorial Comment – Really? Well that was over two months ago…and yet here you still are. I guess you must be a liberal, because you can’t keep your own promises…. in your own words.)
Dan and Bruce, the main correspondents, simply post now for exposure. They select issues designed to affect maximum controversy allowing them to spin conservative rhetoric. There is no effort to critically assess current issues. There is no effort to critically assess Republican actions in government. It has simply become a sounding board for the far right perspective with little or no insight or thoughtfulness rather being an outlet for hyperbolic rhetoric.
(GP – Is there a mirror in the house?)
Therefore, I have again withdrawn myself from their debate.
(GP – And unfortunately, all of us here know that is a lie.)
The perspectives of less-than-party advocates simply drives the controversy, furthering their end of more exposure for the site a la Coulter, Malkin, Fox News. Dan and Bruce are now drawn, accidentally or deliberately, into the ratings game. They’ve gotten a little taste of the power of celebrity and feel the bloodlust. Look for them to write a book along the lines of “Dumb Liberals, Smart Conservatives” soon.
(GP – No need, the words of a Lying Cowboy prove that.)
I hope that others will also see them for their Righter-than-Right perspective and stop pandering to their baiting. The majority Centrists of the country do themselves a disservice and an injustice by giving people of Dan and Bruce’s ilk fuel to their fire.
We have given far right AND far left factions much too much power in espousing their beliefs. They have overtaken and corrupted the national debate and are the powers that cause, not resolve, the majority of problems. We do ourselves a disservice by pandering to this radical angst. It’s all too easy to be sucked into the controversy and therefore we must try even harder to eschew radical elements and promote centrist.
(GP – If someone can email me ONE “centrist” position that the Lying Cowboy has put forth… please do. He’s really into the full revisionist history spin at this point in the post, huh?)
I hope any of you reading this will join me in taking sites like GayPatriot, Coulter, Malkin, Noonan, off your usual reading.
(GP – Well, we know again that he is a true liberal. “Do as I say, not as I do.”)
Without exposure, they have no power. They will try to keep that exposure by becoming even more vitriolic and radical but it’s up to the regular guy to stop it. It’s time the real silent majority of the United States, you and your neighbors, say to all these talking head “no, we do accept you skewing the debate. You ARE the radical faction and you do not represent me.”
***********************
Regular guy, eh Cowboy? Well, exactly who are you? Dan and I have fully disclosed who we are. So now it is the Lying Cowboy’s turn.
If anyone is to truly believe anything he says anymore (either in his comments here or on his own apparently-defunct blog), don’t we deserve to know who he is and what his agenda is? After all, he likes to dominate this blog so much, he must be well-educated in all of the important issues of the day.
Tick, tick, tick, tick….
-Bruce (GayPatriot)
I understand “Cowboy’s” frustration with your uncritical support of any and everything GWB does. I agree you’re not worth the time to expose, since your posts are self-disclosing.
Simply put, GP, I fail to see why you wasted the effort of posting the obvious.
Just another chance to take a potshot at a liberal, NDT. That seems more obvious than anything 🙂
Isn’t one of the repeated drum beats here: If you don’t like it here get your own blog.
Well………
Yeah. And I don’t see Dan or Bruce questioning that.
Bob gets to say what Bob wants on Bob’s blog – even if it’s lies.
Bruce gets to say what Bruce wants on Bruce’s blog – even if it’s stooping to actually refute Bob for once.
People get to read or not read whichever blogs they want – just like Bob called for. It’s all Freedom of the Press (21st century style).
Bob apparently just has no readers. I’m sure that’s part of why Bob always comes back here, and always will come back here, like the emotionally dependent parasite he continually shows himself as being.
Incidentally, Bob, when you do come here, all thrilled that Bruce stooped to actually have a thread about you, be sure to check out comment 26 here.
Comment 1 –
David, by claiming Bruce/Dan are into “uncritical support of everything GWB does”, you showed you really don’t know what goes on here.
CowBoy Lied!
People….snoozed.
I called it 🙂
come on C – easy call 😉
Perhaps this Gay Cowboy should go back to eating pudding.
If the Lying Cowboy will not fully disclose his identity and his agenda and his sponsors, his postings here will be deleted. Pretty simple. He has his own blog after all.
And let’s not forget what a weasel GCB is. He never responded directly to the challenge when asked if Al Franken’s comment was homophobic. He said that society was better off when poor children were aborted, then denied it. He claims that Karl Rove, Tom DeLay, and Bill Frist are guilty of terrible crimes, but is unwilling to put up anything against their convictions. He also seems to have nurtured a protege commenter who seemingly has picked up GCB’s habit of weaseling out of challenges to the outrageous statements that he makes.
You know what else is interesting? You quote his 9.20.2005 entry as reading “So as you can see I haven’t been blogging much of late. Traveling, busy schedule etc. have all been getting in the way.” Yet, a quick check of the September archives reveals GCB found the time to comment on GayPatriot at least 27 times in the week from 9-13 to 9-19. Often at some length.

Damn! You beat me to it.
Oh, I forgot, in your world, the sky is charteuse.
If by “absolutely not true”, Bob means “absolutely true”, Bob has spoken the truth.
I know that’s hard to follow – Bob means it to be.
Remember that episode of The Simpsons where Marge takes in a convict (Jack Crowley {voiced by Michael Keaton}), and at the end of the episode, she and several others have just witnessed Jack Crowley pour gasoline on a car, set it on fire, and dance around it yelling “Puma pride!” And as he’s being put into the police car, he says “Marge, I swear to you, I did not set fire to that car.” — That’s GCB.
I don’t come to this blog as often as I used to. It seems mostly to be the same thing I can read anywhere at the right wing echo chamber.
I don’t read Americablog much anymore either – because it’s just become a left wing echo chamber.
Then when it’s about Log Cabin, it’s just back biting bitchy queen stuff.
Eva, it’s too bad you see reasonable criticism of LCR as “bitchy queen stuff.” And you know all too well that we have praised them here from time to time.
The comments to the post on Chris Barron’s new job were the epitomy of bitchy queen….
Patrick Guerriero came to Minnesota – and he impressed our local people big time – and that has helped motivate people. I’m very happy about that – because I’m past president, and I want the chapter to grow and mature.
Patrick was also interviewed by conservative radio talk show host Dave Thompson – and Patrick was excellent.
They are sponsoring lots of conference calls to get people in the chapters involved with organizing the upcoming conference.
And he has the nerve to be so biased as to link to GP on his blog.
A gay liberal blogger with a link to a gay coservative blog.
Oh, the HUBRIS!
Chandler, I think Joey and Rachel are calling you…
Chandy, didn’t you have your own blog once…for about 6 minutes? You know, the one featuring an oversized photo of the naked guy and you – and only you – populating your own ‘comments’ section. What happened to that, babe?
Gives the Head Chickenhawk something to do.
Said the troll whose most meaningful use of time is to spam every open thread with the dusty old ‘chickenhawk’ namecall.
LOL…..as the saying goes, Never, look in a mirror.
You know what’s funny about Virginia? The Republicans won everything else in the state; the only Democrat you could get elected was the gubernatorial candidate who is, by leftist definition, antigay, anti-abortion, and a religious fanatic.
Fortunately, you’re still thinking he won because he’s a Democrat; thus, you and yours will advance your usual moonbat causes in 2006 and once again be surprised when the American public ditches you.

glisteny, it’s still there as personal little work. And I get the point that you are the head chickenhawk by the feathers sticking to your lips.
So many mysteries revealed.
(comments of Bob’s still popping up from time to time) – The gutless, lying wonder is still at it!
Bob still doesn’t have the guts to either (1) post his no-quality comments on his own blog; or (2) meet the conditions Dan/Bruce have asked, of disclosing (as they have done) Bob’s identity and sponsors.
