Who said the following statement this week?

It suffices as evidence of this your entering of this war and your excusing of American soldiers from being held to account by the European courts. For this reason, this address of mine is to you, not to your politicians, as it is no longer a secret that Blair, Brown, Berlusconi, Aznar, Sarkozy and those with him and their like love to shade themselves in the shade of the White House. And there isn’t a major difference worth mentioning between them and many of the leaders of the Third World.

A – Cindy Sheehan

B – Nancy Pelosi

C – Osama bin Laden

D – Harry Reid

E – Dick Durbin

F – John Kerry

G – John Murtha

H – Hugo Chavez

Hard to tell, eh?   The answer is C – Osama bin Laden…. but you would hardly know for sure, would you?

Via The Corner:

Gallup Poll Results — PRINCETON, NJ — Republicans are significantly more likely than Democrats or independents to rate their mental health as excellent, according to data from the last four November Gallup Health and Healthcare polls. Fifty-eight percent of Republicans report having excellent mental health, compared to 43% of independents and 38% of Democrats. This relationship between party identification and reports of excellent mental health persists even within categories of income, age, gender, church attendance, and education.

*befuddled*  I can’t see how this is news? 

After all, what else would you expect from a bunch of communist-protecting, socialist-breeding, Islamist-coddling, free speech-destroying, America-hating, angry anarchists who see a conspiracy in everything and try to destroy the lives of Americans that don’t share their angry view of the world?

This came to Dan and I last night from a reader who has been hostile to us since GayPatriot was born:

I am rather puzzled by the amount of outrage. I would  not have  minded if the youtube questioners from the democratic version were  Republicans. Or even republican plants for that matter. I have heard  [Gen.] Kerr speak in person, he also works with SLDN, and he seems like a  decent guy.

What alternative exactly would you propose? That questions can only  be asked of Republican candidates by loyal Republican questioners?  We are electing the President of the United States, not the  President of the GOP. So long as the questions asked were fair and  were not biased in of themselves I really don’t think you have much  to  complain about.   If you can provide examples to the contrary  please do so.   CNN should
have vetted better though.

Besides which, as a general principle I think its better that  candidates answer questions from hostile audiences. The answers they  give are usually much more  illuminating of a candidates views than  the organized PR pablum that campaign stops are.

And now Bruce apparently wants to excommunicate Kerr from Log Cabin  or the GOP or both.,. Its never much of a surprise anymore how  swiftly Bruce turns on someone once they doesn’t pass his particular  idealogical fatwa.  Kerr republicanism doesn’t fit Bruce’s idea of  ideological purity. But Bruce’s idea of a GOP Big Tent is  increasingly looking about the size of a handkerchief.

Never mind  that Kerr spoke only about DADT and that as a retired General he has  more practical knowledge of DADT than Bruce ever will.  Next thing  you know Bruce will be trying to send people to jail for naming  their
teddy bears Hillary.  I should send him a Hillary Care Bear.  That ought to give him some doozy nightmares.

My response:

You are so tunnel-visioned and clueless…

I could care less if Democrats questioned Republicans and vice versa.  It is probably a good thing.

But in the DEMOCRAT YouTube debate… all of the questioners reinforced the Democrat/liberal point of view…. they were affirmations.

In the GOP YouTube debate… they were planted Democratic party operatives, sympathizers and volunteers and were not identified as such…. and were challenging the candidates, not affirming their positions as in the Democrat debate.

[Critic's Name Withheld] – I know you can’t possibly understand this… but it is a question of simple fairness and fair play.

YOU think the news operations of NYT CNN MSNBC NBC ABC etc, etc are NOT tainted in their reporting with a liberal perspective.   The CNN/YouTube debate put the truth to that lie in your head.  But you are too myopic to see it.

Do you really think the Stonewall Democrats would allow a person on the steering committee of Mitt Romney to stay affiliated with their DEMOCRAT political organization?

If you do, you are not only clueless, myopic, partisan and ignorant…. you are insane and a danger to yourself.

Dan is welcome to add his response…. I didn’t feel it was appropriate for me to post it.

One editorial side note on my part…. is Kerr’s conduct of withholding information, being a plant, and supporting Clinton & Kerry while being a member of Log Cabin (Republicans) consistent with the ethics & values he learned in the US military?  Or did coming out as a gay man somehow trash all of that teaching about respect, honor and dignity?

Finally, GP Community Terms of Conduct are null and void when emails are sent to me directly…. in this particular case by an individual I’ve repeatedly asked to stop emailing me.   Just so ya know.

When i was speaking with a friend who reads this blog, he wondered about the date/time-stamp on our posts. When he said it appeared that our posts had been published in the near future, I realized that we had not reset our blog “clock” with Daylight Savings Time, so instead of having a time stamp on Eastern Time (as we normally do), our posts were given a stamp an hour earlier. I have since corrected that. Apologies for any confusion that caused.
