Did Sarah Palin Just Tweet Her Position on 'Homos'?
Gawker ^ | 1/3/11 | Max Read

Posted on 01/03/2011 10:20:46 PM PST by pissant

Former vice presidential candidate and reality television star Sarah Palin has remained quiet over the recent repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell. But she may have just made a statement... by re-Tweeting a conservative lesbian's columnist's Tweet about 'homos.'

Around 10 p.m. Eastern time on Monday night, conservative pundit Tammy Bruce Tweeted about the recent repeal of the military's discriminatory Don't Ask Don't Tell policy:

But this hypocrisy is just truly too much. Enuf already—the more someone complains about the homos the more we should look under their bed
Tue Jan 04 03:12:46 via web

The idea being, one imagines, that those who are most vocally anti-gay are the people who are most likely to be gay themselves, or at least to have, like, gay stuff "under their bed." Not the most original observation in the world, no—but look who apparently agrees with it!

And as Martha Stewart says, “and that’s a good thing”.

Really?

Gawker.com?

Libs unleashed and owner of this site according to their own lib bio site.. wiki IS OBVIOUSLY A FLAMING LIBERAL PIG!

Nick Denton From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nick Denton Born 24 August 1966 (1966-08-24) (age 44) Residence New York, NY Occupation Journalist, editor, internet entrepreneur Website http://www.nickdenton.org/

Nick Denton, born August 24, 1966,[1] is a British journalist and internet entrepreneur, the founder and proprietor of the blog collective Gawker Media, and the managing editor of the New York-based Gawker.com. For years after starting Gawker Media, the online publishing network, in 2002, Nick Denton ran the company out of his apartment, in SoHo.

It is believed that Denton grew up in Hampstead, and was educated at University College School and University College, Oxford where he studied Politics, Philosophy, and Economics. He also became the editor of the university magazine, Isis. He began his career as a journalist with the Financial Times. He co-wrote a book about the collapse of Barings Bank called All That Glitters. He was one of the founders of a social networking site called First Tuesday[2] and co-founded Moreover Technologies[3] with David Galbraith and Angus Bankes, schoolmates from UCS. Denton owns nine websites, the most popular been Gizmodo - a website about all kinds of gadgets and electronics. This site pulls in nearly six million Americans a month.

Denton was featured in the Sunday Times Rich List 2007 in position 502 with an estimated wealth of £140m (approximately $290m) based on the sale of his previous companies and the current value of Gawker Media. He was once featured in a Vanity Fair photoshoot and was the subject of a feature article in The New Yorker.[4] Denton lives in New York City in SoHo apartment on the same floor as actor Samuel L. Jackson.[5] [edit] Controversies

* On October 28, 2010, he published an anonymous kiss-and-tell piece entitled, "I Had a One-Night Stand with Christine O'Donnell," causing ire among left-leaning feminists. The sensational headline was also not true as O'Donnell only slept naked with the anonymous writer and did not have sex with him.[6] The National Organization for Women condemned the piece as "slut-shaming." NOW's president, Terry O'Neill. "It operates as public sexual harassment. And like all sexual harassment, it targets not only O'Donnell, but all women contemplating stepping into the public sphere.".[7] Salon's Justin Elliott criticized the ad hominem nature of the article, Tweeting, "Today, we are all Christine O'Donnell.[8]"

Gawker.com reportedly paid in the "low four figures" for the story.[9] Denton defended it, praising its "brilliant packaging." [10]

* In 2007, Denton's Valleywag editor, Owen Thomas, outed Silicon Valley businessman, Peter Thiel in a post entitled, "Peter Thiel is totally gay, people.".[11] In the comment section of Thomas's post, Denton speculated as to why Thiel would keep "his personal life a secret from journalists... for so long." He even named "a guy called Mike" as an alleged boyfriend.[12]

In response, Thiel called Valleywag the "Silicon Valley Equivalent of Al Qaeda".[13] Thiel called out the sites for "scar[ing] everybody" and for stifling the culture of Silicon Valley, which is "supposed to be about people who are willing to think out loud and be different."

Andrew Sullivan pissant is a pro-gay pro-Third Party agenda leftist spoiler and mysoginist who pretends he is ‘conservative/libertarian’ and has floated out conspiracy theories and pretends that Palin is a rank retard.

Fixed it.

Well, its not really Gawker. Just click over to Palin’s own website, and click on her tweet site. Its not Gawker, its Palin’s site.

I’m reserving judgement for now. I’m sure Palin will have more to say later. But this is her own site.

I’m sure you will be helping to rally your troops. You seem to find it quite easy to pal around with the socialist creeps when it serves your purpose. If you read the cr@p background of the author of this article you will see he is a consummate liar. Is it customary for you to support testimony of liars?

In case you haven’t read the Falcon website, they have no candidates or infrastructure at this time. But in the meantime, they are committed to supporting all conservatives. And I defy you to find one word in their platform you find unwarranted or liberal or wrong.

just click on Tammy’s and Sarah’s tweet pages. You don’t have to trust Gawker one bit.

Why are you deflecting from your original source? Why not post from Tammy and Sarah’s tweet pages? You are pathetic.

It wasn’t omitted. It was linked where it always is linked.

Because I checked them and Gawker wasn’t blowing smoke. I suggest you do the same. For all your hissy-fitting, you’d think John Edwards didn’t diddle the dumb blonde while his wife was dying of cancer — just because the Enquirer was the source.

“I was answering your invitation to fill me in on Sarah wanting to destroy our military...and declined, preferring reliable sources - on anything Palin.”

pissant...I like you, but if you are going to accuse Palin of trying to destroy the military (of which her son is a proud member), it would be very helpful if you provided a link to the source of the accusation, and documentation of the supposed truth of that accusation.

Thank you. ;o)

Supporting Tammy Bruce’s position on repealing DADT is more than sufficient.

But you don’t have to. You can go to her own site.

I’m not worried about it. She isn’t shy; she’ll have more to say and I expect her position will be clarified soon. She has never been the kind to leave you wondering where she stands.

Pissant doesn’t like her and is up front about it. I do like her, she is on my short list, right up there with Bachmann, DeMint, and a very few others. There are a few issues she has avoided so far and so far since she has been focused on going after Obama it hasn’t mattered. She could pick her fights. Eventually she will have to clarify her position on some of these other issues and I’ve no doubt she will.

This could be a hint that DADT isn’t a big deal to her, but if thats true or if its not true I have no doubt she’ll clarify that soon. Just linking to Tammy Bruce isn’t definitive. I like Bruce too but I don’t necessarily agree with everything she says. Still, its an odd article to link to.

This quote is taken out of context, twisting the meaning.

Tammy Bruce was in the middle of a tweet conversation about people attacking Palin, and Tammy said:
"But this hypocrisy is just truly too much. Enuf already—[the hypocritical Homos' position is] the more someone complains about the homos the more we should look under their bed"

I’m sorry I even dropped in on this thread. I would like to know Palin’s view on the homo agenda in general, and DADT and its repeal in particular. There is very little information on this thread, and hopefully some time in the future, Palin will make her position clear.

Tweets, twitter and facebook are things I have no personal experience with, and at this point, I want to keep it that way!

My husband is a Viet Nam veteran, and he opposed gays in the military then. But, this is now. Times have changed, though I haven’t.

However, I don’t think that is the biggest issue facing this country right now.

Could you please give me something more substantial that DADT?
