For a poster that holds such low regard for your fellow FReepers, what are you doing here?
You’ve likened our Veteran, 2ndDivisionVet to pissant; you’ve called presentlynoscreenname an Internet hillbilly; and you’ve posted nasty about Palin and her supporters again, not to mention you cowardly called Diogenesis’s post ‘white trash Republicans’ yesterday. One look at your forum posts [again] shows that you’re still spitefully mean and nasty and dealing in personal attacks.
jla, if the only way to support your candidates is to tear down someone else, you’ve lost before you’ve begun. Insults don’t win votes either. You want these posters that you’ve insulted to support Perry? You just guaranteed that it won’t happen.

But, but, but, people told me these highly educated foreigners are just the kind of immigrants we want. Surely they wouldn't be hostile to native Whites.
OK, WTH is an associate editorial editor or an English concentrator?
He's one of those highly educated third-world immigrants we're told so often that we need to let in here.
Im very reserved on Perry, seems like they are pushing him down our throats. The headlines are negative and read all three due to shock factor.
I support Cain and Santorum but my early picks never win.
" I opposed the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996. It should be repealed and I will vote for its repeal on the Senate floor. I will also oppose any proposal to amend the U.S. Constitution to ban gays and lesbians from marrying. " ~Barack Obama
Im defensive of splinter groups attacking and eating our own. We need to unite and support one another in a team effort. I normally like your post but I had to speak out. God Bless Texas.
Thanks, onyx and DJ.
Urp, urp, urp -- and it's in the White House, ordering wagyu beef by the truckload.
It was all over big-city TV and the counterculture press in the big towns. I read about it in the Houston Press in February 2004 but couldn't find the original article (their archives/morgues are tough to search: you need exact date OR exact byline OR exact title to pull the sucker up -- a keyword search gets you damn-all, or lots of stuff not relevant). You might try searching their morgue yourself if you're halfway clueful about newspaper morgue searches.
I don't have access to the Houston Chronicle archives because I won't pay for their damn newspaper and won't sign up as a subscriber online.
I found the original 2004 Austin Chronicle story, plus a later retraction based on unable-to-substantiate the original story leakers. Other FReepers found all sorts of contradictory mishmash stuff, including stories that the Perry story was a gay canard -- but other sources said, no, we got this from (nameless, of course) lawyers at a high-powered firm.
Anyway, Sidebar took down my references to it in another thread and told me to KNOCK IT OFF (his caps).
That about right, Sidebar? Did I understand correctly that your citation standard about a story like this one is a byline story or editorial in the MSM, e.g. the Frank Rich column that outed David Brock? And that counterculture press (liberal, gay -- but wait, so's the MSM) and Netmedia are not reliable enough sources to justify leaving such a story/cite/quote on a thread?
So what about this thread, Sidebar? This Harvard guy's more credible than the screedists at the Austin Chronicle? I don't get it.
Of course, the purpose of a story like this is to start a howler-monkey chorus in national media (Arianna Huffington was playing this theme in July on HuffPo) that will discourage social conservatives and cause them to stay home on election day, just like the Mark Foley October Surprise in 2006 that blew up in Speaker Denny Hastert's face and paid off big for Rahm Emanuel. (Speaking of ballerinas .....)
So my point was, "don't support candidates who are land mines, stay out of the Hurt Locker."
"Why, I'm positively shocked!"
Cheers!
If there are many rumors that Perry is a homo, such rumors can take a life of their own whether fact based or not. Either way, the rumors will affect voters.
Why would voters not just reject such rumors out of hand? Because a fair number of other Rs rumored to have been homos turned out to have been homos.
So fact based or not, its a ticking time bomb issue. And if there is any proof, for sure Dems would trot it out after the primaries if Perry was chosen and then Up Crap Creek Without a Paddle would be the motto of the Repub. party.

I was just reading a Palin thread that was rightly pulled due to unproven sexual and other allegations. This was posted on September 1st. Oddly enough it still stands.
I’m shocked./s
