But the Democrats continue to support theirs. Gerry Studds was re-elected nine times. Charlie Rangel is still Chairman of Ways and Means. And Eliot Spitzer is making a comeback. Sam Adams is still mayor of Portland. John Street was re-elected Mayor of Philadelphia even after his corruption was exposed. Ditto Kwame Kilpatrick of Detroit.

But the Dems never held themselves up as the party of god, morality and holier than thou virtue.

Thats’s the difference.

I sure as hell didn’t, although I knew that Hay was a founder of both the Mattachine Society and the Radical Faeries, and that he was a card-carrying member of the CPUSA, and that once upon a time he was romantically involved with Will “Grandpa Walton” Geer. But the NAMBLA speeches were truly news to me — because everything I know about Hay was from short biographical sketches online and in print outlets like The Washington Blade, and these summary bios often just say something or other about the Mattachines (and of course the Grandpa Walton connection, because it’s amusing trivia), and leave it at that.

So, if Jennings were to claim total ignorance of Hay’s NAMBLA involvement, I’d say that was at least plausible. (Though it wouldn’t say much for his research skills as a former high-school teacher.)

The bit about Jennings & NABMLA is a bunch of BS.

So he’s inspired by a pedophile who was tight with the Communists and speaking highly of him could be a good thing…..how?

Having said this I personally find very little about Hays or Thurmond to publically praise either.

Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) in trouble for shady deals. NOT OKAY (and Republicans lined up to throw him under the nearest bus).

Number 16: Rep William Jefferson (D-LA) ($90K stashed in freezer), re-elected after he was indicted; now convicted. OKAY with Dems.

Tom DeLay (R-TX) indicted on trumped up charges (no convictions). NOT OKAY.

And I said, “Brewster, what are you doing in there asleep?” And he said, “Well, I’m tired.” And I said, “Well we all are tired and we all got to school today.” And he said, “Well I was out late last night.” And I said, “What were you doing out late on a school night.” And he said, “Well, I was in Boston…” Boston was about 45 minutes from Concord. So I said, “What were you doing in Boston on a school night Brewster?” He got very quiet, and he finally looked at me and said, “Well I met someone in the bus station bathroom and I went home with him.” High school sophomore, 15 years old. That was the only way he knew how to meet gay people. I was a closeted gay teacher, 24 years old, didn’t know what to say. Knew I should say something quickly so I finally said, “My best friend had just died of AIDS the week before.” I looked at Brewster and said, “You know, I hope you knew to use a condom.” He said to me something I will never forget, He said “Why should I, my life isn’t worth saving anyway.”

And in his book, he claims “Brewster,” left his office with a smile on his face, a smile he would see many times over the next two years. Nowhere does he make any mention to discouraging the “relationship.”

The praise of Henry Hay is just icing on the cake.

Transcripts of a GLSEN conference in NYC on October 25, 1997 indicate that Jennings said, “one of the people that always inspired me is Harry Hay.” Jennings also edited a book called Becoming Visible: A Reader in Gay and Lesbian History for High School and College Students which included a biographical sketch on Harry Hay. One of GLSEN’s Education Department resources also lists a work on Harry Hay.

13. Liberal Democrat Presidential Candidate fathers a child with his mistress while his wife is supposedly has terminal cancer — OKAY.

14. Conservative Republican VP candidate gives birth to a Downs Syndrome baby instead of aborting it.– NOT OKAY.

read what the man said….. He said “I hope you are using condoms”…. then he took no action…. and he wrote about the smile that the 15 year old gave him whilst he continued at school….

That is a cover up and it is unacceptable behaviour in a teacher…. male or female…. heterosexual or homosexual….

Just like it is unacceptable when a female teacher has sex with her male pupils. It is not okay.

The reason Rita Beads is such a funny name is probably sadly lost to most of you, but the threat to “read your beads” was a common expression back in the day, one homo to another. Reading someone’s beads meant to tell them off, to give them what-for, to put them in the their place, in the sort of high-drama that only can come from a place of great creativity and style. And cuntiness. from JMD

Back that up with something, please.

Well, we know it’s OK, rusty.

Because since you excuse all these other behaviors, you certainly excuse and support this one.

And certainly, since you support promiscuity outside marriage and corruption in terms of getting jobs when Obama Party members do it, you wouldn’t have any objections on the basis of principle, would you?

After all, you wouldn’t be so hypocritical as to attack a Republican for doing things that you endorse and support Obama Party members for doing, would you?
