Ruth Marcus of The Washington Post accuses Sarah Palin of offending homosexuals when she remarked that the author of a Vanity Fair hatchet job about her was “impotent and limp and gutless.” Marcus wrote, “The Vanity Fair writer, Michael Joseph Gross, is gay, which makes matters worse—conjuring the stereotype of ‘limp-wristed.’ But whatever the sexual orientation of the offending reporter, Palin should not have been questioning his manhood.”
Palin had every right to question his manhood, since he is not a man in the traditional sense and wrote a cowardly piece. But her remarks were probably directed at his “journalism,” which Marcus admits was sloppy and full of unverifiable and anonymous quotes. Nevertheless, Gross was on the CBS News “The Early Show” with his “revelations.” Host Erica Hill, who substitutes for Katie Couric on the CBS Evening News, called the article “fascinating.”
Marcus was more concerned with Palin’s response to the shoddy article than with the fact that it was written by a homosexual journalist with an axe to grind. Palin has long opposed gay marriage, which makes her an obvious target for homosexuals like Gross.
The Marcus criticism of Palin shows how “sensitive” the Post has become on matters involving homosexuality. The paper does not tolerate any criticism of the homosexual lifestyle. It has been a cheerleader for gay rights for years and was one of the first newspapers to run announcements of gay “unions” as if they were marriages.
Four days before Marcus ripped Palin, another Post columnist, Jonathan Capehart, took offense at Alveda King for giving an “anti-gay” speech at the Glenn Beck rally in Washington. Under the headline, “The Shame of Alveda King,” Capehart expressed his disgust that she had simply called for the protection of the sacred institution of marriage between one man and one woman. Capehart was also offended that King had talked in favor of the right to life of the unborn.
He suggested these comments were a disgrace to the legacy of her uncle, Martin Luther King, Jr.
What Capehart didn’t disclose in his column is that he is a homosexual himself. Although he is out of the closet and even participates in homosexual political events, I am not aware that the Post has ever informed its readers about Capehart’s conflict of interest in writing about such matters. He is a member of the Post editorial board but his official bio makes no mention of his homosexual rights activism.
The hit piece on Palin was in Vanity Fair and its author, Michael Joseph Gross, is also out of the closet. Indeed, Gross’s articles more often appear in homosexual publications like Out and The Advocate. This is where he has done some revealing journalism. This is where he has some real expertise and good “sources.” Let’s take a look.
His article, “Has Manhunt Destroyed Gay Culture?,” has special significance in view of Craigslist closing down its “adult services” section because of criticism from law enforcement, including Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, a Democrat who is running for the Senate. In total, 18 attorneys general wrote an open letter asking Craigslist to take the section down.
Blumenthal’s assertion that Craigslist facilitates prostitution and child sex trafficking has generated a lot of favorable media coverage for him, diverting attention away from his lying about his military service.
What do we know about Manhunt? It sounds gross, and Gross is the expert. He reported: “The phrase evokes the product Manhunt sells: a fix of quick sex—easy in, easy out. To partake, men market themselves in a style shaped by the site’s profile template. Profile names, which tend to be histrionically masculine or graphically sexual, appear next to pictures, usually of a beefcake or X-rated variety, often with heads cropped out, accompanied by brief, blunt descriptions of sexual tastes…”
Manhunt.net is a site where homosexuals officially go for “dating.” It has not been censored in any way. In fact, it is going great guns, and Michael Joseph Gross uses it. “I have done practically every stupid thing a guy can do on Manhunt,” he writes.
This is called “cruising” in the homosexual community. A homosexual is supposed to “certify” that he is 18 before going on-line and paying to use the site.
Gross reported that the site makes “at least $2.4 million per month—almost $30 million a year—not counting ad revenues, and prospects for growth are strong.”
However, Gross reported that when the Department of Justice under President Bush had considered requiring proof of age for all Americans who post naked pictures of themselves online, in order to crack down on child pornography, a link on Manhunt directed its members to the website of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force website for “instructions on how to stop the regulation from taking effect.”
“Perhaps the right that gay men are most willing to fight for is the right to cruise online,” said Gross.
Perhaps the regulations were warranted. Gross reports, “Last year [2007], a 24-year veteran of the Norwalk, Conn., police department was arrested for having sex with two 15-year-old boys and trying to arrange to meet a third—all of whom he found on Manhunt.”
Indeed, in the biggest scandal ever to hit the Norwalk Police Department, the 46-year-old police lieutenant, Thomas Cummings, was sentenced to jail for these offenses. His modus operandi was to play homosexual pornography on his computer and then have sex with the boys. Police seized hundreds of pornographic video tapes and DVDs from his home.
In August 2008, as this scandal was building, Manhunt became a “corporate sponsor” of the Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP). An official release from the group, which claims to be fighting child pornography, said that Manhunt “provides a destination for men to meet each other online providing safe, friendly and exciting ways to express themselves and to interact with one another freely.”
It didn’t seem so harmless for the boys abused by the gay cop.
A former obscenity prosecutor said, “ASACP seems to be a way for the porn industry to look like the good guys. However, since providing porn to children, which internet pornographers do by not requiring some indicia of adulthood for entry to porn sites, they are guilty of child abuse, the very crime of which they pretend to be concerned.”
Its members or sponsors include such sites as adultchamber.com, naughtyamerica.com, citiboyz.com, and nubiles.net.
All of this is the result of what Dr. Judith Reisman calls “Sexual Sabotage” in her new book by that name. It is a multibillion dollar industry spreading disease and death.
One of the founders of Online Buddies, sponsor of Manhunt, is Larry Basile, a member of the pro-homosexual Human Rights Campaign and the National Gay & Lesbian Task Force.
Basile is a significant contributor to the Democratic Party and its candidates, contributing $2,000 in 2008 to the Obama-for-president campaign.
The other co-founder of Manhunt, Jonathan Crutchley, supposedly a “liberal Republican,” contributed to the John McCain 2008 presidential campaign. When the contribution to McCain was revealed, it was so embarrassing to the left-wing board of Online Buddies that Crutchley was reportedly forced to step down. When McCain returned the contribution, Crutchley was said to be offended and announced he would support Obama. Crutchley was quoted as saying, “If John is too good for my money, I’ll give it to Barack.”
Perhaps this helps explain why Manhunt will not get the Craigslist treatment from Democratic politicians like Blumenthal.
Researcher Dale O’Leary mentioned the role of Manhunt when she wrote a report documenting the still-raging HIV/AIDS epidemic in the homosexual community: “While the AIDS epidemic no longer has media attention, the fact is that the epidemic of sexually transmitted diseases among MSM [men who have sex with men] continues unabated. In the 1980’s HIV infection was a death sentence and many MSM modified their behavior, but with the introduction of antiretrovirals HIV became a chronic disease. MSM experienced condom fatigue and returned to sex with multiple partners. They seek sexual partners on Internet sites like Manhunt. They attend circuit parties, at which thousands of men engage in 3-day orgies of music, sex and drugs. The epidemic is fueled by drugs and alcohol, including crystal meth, poppers, ecstasy and Viagra. In spite of the risks, MSM openly solicit partners interested in bare-backing—unprotected anal sex.”
Of course, Manhunt has a “Manhunt Cares” section, which advises members to get tested for HIV/AIDS and use condoms.
Perhaps Ruth Marcus of the Post ought to take some time to visit Manhunt (or its related site, Manhunt Daily), and report back on whether she is offended in any way by what appears and goes on there. Of course, she knows that any piece she might write that is critical about the homosexual “dating” community would offend her colleague Capehart. So it will never make it into print.

no no, its really a racial description. Palin was being racist
The professional homosexuals are obsessed with Sarah. They feel threatened by her, it seems.
Oh you big crybabies . . .
Is it just me, or does it seem that the gays are fully employed EVERYWHERE?
I’m under employed.
Bet if I applied for a job and said I was gay, I’d get the job.
Heh...yet hillbuzz loves her...
Palin / West ‘12
Sarah Palin said that this reporter, who mounted a lying attack on her, was “impotent and limp and gutless.”
When I first read that, in her own words, I really didn’t think she was referring to this lousy reporter’s limp wrists. Limp wrists are nothing but a WaPost canard.
Sorry, Sarah is a tough woman, who shoots moose and takes no prisoners.
She’s a “breeder”.That’s like a cross to a vampire for homosexuals.
He certainly is
Well, I’ve heard that Hillbuzz has lots of gay support and they really seem to like her.
From what I know Sarah isn’t anti-gay. I’m not anti-gay if they don’t try to change the rest of us to their way. Live and Let Live. The rest is up to God.
Ruth Marcus may or may not be a lesbian but she is obsessed by the topic.
John Bolton, Secretary of State, Sheriff Joe Arpaio, Sec’y of Homeland Security, Jeb Bush, FEMA Director, Attorney General Fred Thompson, Laura Ingraham, WH Press Secretary...
He lost his testosterone at the Florist show....
Exactly. Anti-truth, anti-life collectivists are.
Gross lied, no one should under any circumstances stick up (pardon the euphemism) for the liar. Instead, he should be fired and blackballed, because he isn’t a journalist. Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
Well, I was talking about the “professionals.” The ones who make it their mission to convert society to accept them and their lifestyle.
I think that makes him fair Gaym.
Question what manhood? He’s gay for cripes sake!
Well named.
So......this is love? Ewwwww. The words of Sam Kinnison come to mind.
What a FAG.
Oh brother...talk about a stretch. Impotent and limp was referring to your little pee pee, Mr. Author.
Tammy Bruce and Christopher Barron didn't know Michael Gross was gay until they read the ADVOCATE the day following publication of the Vanity Fair article! LOL.
So, are we to believe that Sarah knew, when self-avowed gays didn't? Hmmmmm?
If I am not mistaken one of the first act Gov. Palin did was sign a domestic parternship law in AK.
Palin drives both of these types to distraction. Oh, as well as Dembiciles of all stripes, and Rinos with alot to hide. God love her!
Lord knows I do.
;-/
I think the proper response to their indignation would be one they often try to use on us.
“If you took it that way, that just shows where YOUR mind is.”
Wow. This is the way to take on these hit pieces. But man, the left is disgusting.
They want her shoes!
“Is it just me, or does it seem that the gays are fully employed EVERYWHERE?”
It’s NOT just you, they are completely out of the closet, absurdly effeminate and they don’t care if you are offended or not. It’s despicable!!!
LOL!!
Poor boy got hit with the ugly stick on his way out of his mama.
No wonder he needs online sites to get dates!
Sarah Palin used “limp” in the context of “impotent” and the Post reporter interprets this as referring to the gay guy’s wrist? That’s sick.
Yep and apparently long enough to do severe damage prior to coming out. They've been secretly (that is under the American public radar) sabatoging our institutions and infecting the culture, one day at a time for many years. It's not a sudden collapse...these moral reprobates have been chipping away at our nation for years. Now they feel emboldened to 'come out' because of the degenerate in the WH. What is stunning is the people that defend these freaks such as 'Ted Olsen'. They are well rooted....now they need to be rooted out.
Four days before Marcus ripped Palin, another Post columnist, Jonathan Capehart, took offense at Alveda King for giving an “anti-gay” speech at the Glenn Beck rally in Washington.

I just ordered a barrel of sulphuric acid to rinse off with.
You got that exactly right. And now to add to this is the Islamic move in our country. My little city here has just started to evidence they are moving in here...saw three today in my place of work. Can’t tell you how those black scarfs made me feel....uncomfortable doesn’t say it...I could only think of our soldiers....so when I walked past them I deliberately took a wide path...it would be similar to those who are gay...just can’t approach nor do I care to.
We all have our limits of tolerance...I have zip zero for either. That is just how it is for me.
"The Atlantic Monthly; July 1926; The Russian Effort to Abolish Marriage in 1926.... Here's how the scheme to destroy the family is mapped out:
Eliminate the sacredness of the marriage covenant from the minds of the masses. Make them believe marriage is outdated and blasé
Inspire hatred against the family unit, manhood and fatherhood
Institute no-fault divorce and encourage serial divorces
Incite rampant promiscuity, fornication and adultery
Make having illegitimate children become a common practice
Convince society that a child in the womb is not a human being
Provoke women to have abortions without regard to God or their consciences
Make true love seem like cheap amusement
Stimulate the people to confuse sex with love
Create an environment that encourages unwed single motherhood
Inspire men to disrespect, dishonour and abuse women
Design laws that motivate women to commit paternity fraud
Incite homosexuality, lesbianism, sexual immorality and perversion
Influence men to effortlessly abandon children they sire
Most importantly, provoke a fierce relentless gender war
Is there anybody reading this who can't draw parallels with their own society?
As you have read above, what happened in the Soviet Union in 1926 was no accident, and it is important to appreciate and easy to see, that the social and moral carnage now occurring throughout the West; the high divorce rate, the huge numbers of unwed mothers, the rage against fatherhood, the gender wars, the overt battle being waged against marriage and the family, and the highly detailed attacks on the bedrock of our civilisation, are equally as well planned, orchestrated and micromanaged by the same evil force which established and funded that rotten regime."

Gross it is.
LOL. Her wiki bio says nothing about a husband...
Gross is as Gross does.
Gator bait!
Gator bait!
If a FReeper can put up the WH Judo demo. With an audience including 0b0z0 and wookie, you'll see what limp-wristed is.
It's Abu Bama, the highest-ranking homo in the world.
