MetroWeekly.com is exposing the whole truth that Washington Post would not reveal:
Mitt Romney’s campaign tonight announced that it has hired Richard Grenell, an out gay former George W. Bush administration official, to serve as the presumptive Republican presidential nominee’s “national security and foreign policy spokesman,” according to a report from The Washington Post that did not mention Grenell’s sexual orientation.
Grenell served through September 2008 in the Bush administration as a spokesman to the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations — and told The Advocate‘s Kerry Eleveld as he left the administration that it was his hope that New York would have marriage equality soon and that he would one day be able to marry his partner, Matt Lashey. The couple has been together 10 years. . . .
Andrew Sullivan, who had endorsed Obama’s 2008 run, wrote of the news, “For Romney to have an openly gay spokesman is a real outreach to gay Republicans, a subtle signal to moderates, and the Santorum faction’s reaction will be worth noting.”
Grenell is not just gay, but a gay activist who pushes for same-sex marriages.
At the end of Grenell’s service in the Bush administration, he took a notable whack at the administration, telling The Advocate‘s Kerry Eleveld of his effort to have his partner, Matt Lashey, listed in the United Nations’ Blue Book, which is “a reference guide of contact information for different member states of the United Nations as well as diplomatic personnel and their spouses.”
Grenell had attempted to have Lashey’s name added several times, to no avail. He told The Advocate back in 2008, “What put me over the edge was a friend and colleague who met her spouse after I was already with my partner — they got married and subsequently were put into the Blue Book in a matter of days.”
The State Department eventually told him that the Defense of Marriage Act prevented the listing. Although he protested the decision behind the scenes, Lashey’s name was not ever added, which led to his coming forward to criticize the treatement publicly as he left his post.
HuffPost has noted that since the choice, Grenell has scrubbed his Twitter account and website of offensive material...

I know exactly how you feel. People like that are just awful, aren't they? If only they were more like us.
Pretty much hard to say that I am a huge proponent of pushing a homosexual agenda when there is not a single shred of evidence that backs that up... Because I don't instantly condemn Romney and his new gay press guy into the fires of hell and eternal damnation doesn't mean am a proponent of all things gay. That's a hell of a logical leap.
And FReepers, in general, have a problem with dissembling, duplicity, conflation, and subterfuge to call evil, good and good, evil.
Oh oh. Busted!
Water seeks it's own level.
Like minds attract.
Birds of a feather flock together.
Oh oh. You're gay, too, right?
Neither but thanks for your input. It’s exceedingly valuable............................................
You seem to be forgetting the prima facie evidence of your comments on this very thread.
You may be able to duck a court of law by pleading no positive evidence, but the court of opinion does not scruple at "assuming" the obvious.
LMAO! Because I don't condemn them to hell I'm gay? Wow....... Are you truly that stupid or do you have to work at it?
Whatever you need to tell yourself...
No...more like you...you are clearly a better person than me.
I never made such a claim ALTHOUGH, in my opinion, a case could be made that you are unwittingly assisting in the promotion of the homosexual agenda by endorsing Romney's hiring of an avowed homosexual sex practitioner and homosexual sex promoter. A hire that attains instant national notoriety, be on public display, and be granted an influential seat at the table.
Promoting the normalcy of homosexual sex is promoting the homosexual agenda AND that is what Romney is doing with this hire.
No if ands or buts about it -Romney is promoting the homosexual agenda right now JUST as he has in the past.
when did American intellects get so stunted that they don’t recognize a confession of guilt as reason to make a judgement?
Everyone is a sinner. Not all know that. The difference is repentant and unrepentant. Openly homosexual is flaunting sin. While God loves them, He cannot look on their sin and Believers are not to associate with them. Be kind, tell them the truth, but do not condone their sin.
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. -- George Santayana
Romney has a history. Learn it. Remember it.
So when you get an answer that solidly confutes your position, it’s somehow a fulfillment of MY needs?
And you call others “stupid?”
Well done! It’s not easy to fake sincerity, but you’re obviously a master.
Dont forget irrational accusation, lack of patience to actually read and understand a brief post or politely enquire as to its meaning or context, a propensity to label a different view point as coming from DU or a bot or troll, the gang up factor of pinging all your FRiends to join in the gang bang...
This is not directed at you, but if you actually followed this melee, then I neednt explain.
Of course you didn't. He's trying to muddy the waters of the debate by switching terms and assertions on you. That way he can escape into the rhetorical smoke screen.
Don't fall for it.
Must have learned it from your last post
Judgmental, aren't they?
Then they were not obvious were they? I would guess that you got away with to on your ship, on mine you would have likely went swimming.
