As our readers note, Tammy Bruce is a gun-toting, abortion-rights’ supporting lesbian feminist who once served as president of the LA chapter of the National Organization for Women, breaking with them after her harsh criticism of O.J. Simpson and his defenders during his murder trial. In 1992, she enthusiastically backed Barbara Boxer in her first bid for the United States Senate.
On Saturday night, she was Bruce and my guest at the Claremont dinner, honoring former Vice President Cheney. And not only was it a treat to hear the Vice President speak and to meet that great and good man, but I was particularly honored to sit next to Tammy at dinner. She is a great conversationalist who does not mince words.
Just like the former Vice President.
And during dinner, we were constantly being interrupted as numerous guests at this fundraiser for a conservative think tank came up to tell this pro-choice lesbian how much they loved her and appreciated her work. She was even approached as we retreated to the bar after the dinner.
So, here we have an openly lesbian, openly pro-choice, openly feminist woman with an enthusiastic fan base among Angeleno conservatives. Guess being a lesbian is not a hindrance to earning accolades on the right. Kind of defeats the narrative of a narrow-minded, gay-hating right.
California conservatives are not Alabama conservatives.
Yes we racist homophobic haters love Tammy!!!! Conservatives love her so much we are members of the TAM’s, Tammy Army Members. Most conservative Republicans do not hate anybody we are just concerned about lying corrupt politicians who are taking over our country. We love you Tammy!!! And we love you Gay Patriots!!
As a proud Tammy Army Member, I can assure you that I’ve ALWAYS found conservatives to be much nicer people, generally speaking, than liberals. My theoryi that liberals believe that since they have the “correct”, i.e., tolerant and compassionate, values (politically), they have no need to actually be decent people.
Richard, I’ve come to see in the last 9 years that Charlie Brown really did speak for all liberals when he said: I love mankind, it’s people I can’t stand.
Don’t forget that Tammy is probably THE host that the evil homo-hating KKKConservative Christian Laura Ingraham most often asks to fill in for her on her top-rated “hate-radio” show.
She is a great conversationalist who does not mince words.
Har! …that’s putting in mildly ; )
She’s definitely a hoot in front of a microphone.
Sounds like a fun evening. I would have felt awkward introducing myself to Cheney, if I were there, but I would have definitely enjoyed being able to talk with Tammy Bruce at dinner! We used to get her radio show here in Northern Nevada on the weekends, but that station has since shuffled the programing and I haven’t heard her in months and months.
Ms. Bruce, while respecting traditional marriage as the will of the people, believes that same-sex relationships should be recognized as marriage, and that recognizing those relationships as marriage would not affect the institution’s dignity. “It’s not changing the definition,” she argued on Fox News in a recent debate with Governor Mike Huckabee, “it’s adding to it.” http://www.wabashunion.org/dec2009/
I am a TAM too. You can listen to her show on Talk Stream Live from 11-1 ( http://www.talkstreamlive.com/ ) Or you can become a Tammy Army Member for the price of a latté a month 🙂
Tammy Bruce is a thoughtful yet outspoken advocate of responsibility and pointing out the hypocrisy on the left. She has been inside and seen the intolerance and bigotry of the left as they work to hurt others.
