From a List to a GOP Civil War? Copies of The List (see below) have been sent by gay politicos to a variety of social conservative groups that look to the Republican Party to make their religious right dreams come true. The recipients include the Christian Coalition, Focus on the Family, the Family Research Council, the Alliance for Marriage, Concerned Women of America, the Eagle Forum, and the Southern Baptist Convention. Officials at most of these groups have had something to say about homosexuality and gay rights in the wake of the Mark Foley scandal.
What's the point? The senders--gay people of a non-Republican bent--seem to be hoping to set off a civil war within the GOP, to turn the anti-gay social cons against the GOP's Velvet Mafia. These Washington gays have been seething for years about gay Republican staffers who serve a party that opposes gay rights and that welcomes the support of people who demonize or dehumanize gays and lesbians. "Maybe now the social conservatives will realize one reason why their agenda is stalled on Capitol Hill," says a gay politico. Another says, "The inherent inconsistency of a coalition that shelters both gay loathing 'Christian' conservatives and conservative gays will soon suffer its final rupture."
Will it? We shall see, as the Foley scandal continues to unfold, and The List continues to circulate.
"Copies of The List (see below)"
No list and none on link.
I had the same problem. The links are in the left-hand banner at the bottom of the page.
No List on David Cornhole's sight?
Impossible, the one and only civil war is in Iraq. I know, I watch CNN./sar
I followed a couple of links and found no list. I did find his quote that he would not post the list (below).
"I have a copy. I'm not going to publish it. For one, I don't know for a fact that the men on the list are gay."
This from another David Corn column:
There's a list going around. Those disseminating it call it "The List." It's a roster of top-level Republican congressional aides who are gay.
...I have a copy. I'm not going to publish it. For one, I don't know for a fact that the men on the list are gay. And generally I don't fancy outing people--though I have not objected when others have outed gay Republicans, who, after all, work for a party that tries to limit the rights of gays and lesbians and that welcomes the support of those who demonize same-sexers.
David Corn is a Socialist Worm and a pathalogical liar. His articles are suitable for nothing more than toilet paper.
It wouldn't surprise me if "the list" is nothing more than a threat. On the otherhand it wouldn't at all surprise me if names were actually sent out.
The list is there on one of the blogs. Just follow the links. It's on a left-side sidebar.
I'm not going to publish it here, but I read it.
Sing it brother!!!!!
Gee, I seem to recall a "list" from several decades ago that Liberals despised...and still bring up till this day to silence their critics. It's interesting that they'd now employ a similar tactic.
The irony is apparently lost to the left. Amazing, ain't it.
The answer to this is easy. Just produce a list of Democrats who are secretly pro-life and send it around to every leftist group....
A couple of rather well-known conservative radio and web figures on the list too.
"Any social conservative that stays home this election because we have gays in our party is a fool."
I just moved and almost forgot to register. This whole Foley thing reminded me and I went out and registered just before the deadline. Thank you Democrats, I will be voting.
Smells like Blackmail, doesn't it??
