Houston Mayor Caught Lying in Embarrassing HuffPo Story Update
NewsBusters ^ | October 27, 2014 | P.J. Gladnick

The Huffington Post published a story by Amanda Terkel which purportedly showed that the daughter  of the lesbian mayor of Houston, Annise Parker, was denied a driver's license because she has two moms. The story included a tweet from the mayor claiming this as the cause for denial.

Unfortunately for the mayor, an update to the story proved her to have been lying about this incident. First let us look at the initial Huffington Post article in which the daughter of the mayor was supposedly subjected to discrimination due to having two moms:

More times than not, whenever a Lib/Leftist is challenged about some flagrant lie, they fold. They have no response.

It is too bad that, many times, those on the other side fail to challenge the Lib/Leftist lies.

Just think what might have happened in 2003 if someone with a wide forum had challenged: ‘If you like your healthcare plan ... if you like your doctor ... Your premiums will go down $2500 per year ...’

At least HuffPo updated their article with this:

UPDATE: 5:15 p.m. -- DPS Press Secretary Tom Vinger took issue with Parker's recollection of events, writing in a statement, "All individuals applying for their first Texas driver license must provide a variety of documents to prove their identity, Social Security Number, U.S. citizenship or lawful presence status, and Texas residency. In this case, the adult applicant did not initially present sufficient documentation to prove residency. Once she provided the required documentation, she was able to complete the transaction. There is no indication that any delay in the process was related to same-sex marriage."

Maybe she was caught with her mom’s turkey baster on the passenger seat and tried to get away with saying it was the parent / licensed driver required to ride along with her while driving on temps.

I once had to make three trips to the DMV to get a license. If only I could have whined about some kind of discrimination! This is the problem with whining minorities of all kinds. Far too many think that they are the only people with problems, and that their problems are only the result of their minority status.

Thank you for reminding me about this. It’s like black people always talking about being black. If they didn’t care, why talk about it? In regards to homosexuality, the emphasis on their sexuality, is key, why? Because if it was normal, it wouldn’t matter. The shrinks need to research this abnormality but they won’t because any sexual deviance has to become normal.

My experience has been a little different. Usually, the libs I catch in a lie say something like; “Well...when Bush was in office he did X.”

What they are trying to do is get normal people to accept their abnormality as normal when in fact they can’t even accept that it is normal. The shrinks should be researching how to prevent it by finding out what causes it. Just like all the other sexual perversions. There is money in research so why the “make it normal” approach?

The daughter does not have two moms. She has one (irresponsible) mother and a pervert who hangs around with her.

Houston voters are unable to perform decently at least in the political realm. Sometimes though Harris County overrules them.

“This piece of perverted humanity is a disgrace. Shame on Houston voters for voting for this lying activist twice and embarrassing the state of Texas.”

I thought that only Austin was a no-go area of Texas. And here I was thinking that the place was largely unspoiled by Rats...

When is the recall election?

*************

Parker is in her last two year term as mayor and the regular election
will be in late 2015. Recall probably won’t be in the works. JMO

“Notice how EVERYTHING is about sex with these people? They can not seem to get through a day without some mention of their particular sexual perversion..”

You are correct......Ever notice the “equal” sticker in blue and gold on the back of some cars indicating homosexual support? Obviously, the first thing that driver wants for you as a total stranger to know about them is what they do with their genitals.
