You bet- I just did a fast hack job by copying it to Cwordpad and sticking in P's... which is why it has hyphens in odd places-
Holy cow Batman! This really puts the libs shorts in a real twist!
Regarding John Walker the lib media really wanted to blame something for RAT BOY joining the Taliban. When they found out that his father was a homosexual and there was a buzz on the street that RAT BOY turned away from the USA to join the Taliban because his father left his mother for another man the libs were stymied! They had to find some other excuse for traitor RAT BOY joining the terrorists. Just as in this case they do not want any homosexual connection publicized!
Columnist: Traitor’s Dad Was Homosexual Adulterer
The father of John Walker — the American who became an extremist Muslim and Taliban warrior — left the boy’s mother for a man, according to a San Francisco Examiner columnist.
The media offered many explanations for what turned the young Walker from quirky Marin County, California, into a Muslim fanatic and “holy warrior” in Afghanistan, but you probably did not hear about this one.
The following is the December 18 item by Examiner columnist P.J. Corkery, which ran under the headline, “Central Gossip Agency”:
NOT THAT IT MATTERS a whit to us here in the cool, gray city of love what Frank Lindh, daddy of the Taliban warrior from Marin, does, did or dreams of doing with other consenting adults, but shouldn’t he come clean with us about all the facts in the odd odyssey of his son?
Frank Lindh has been quoted time and again as saying it was his son John’s reading of the “Autobiography of Malcolm X” when John was 16 in 1997 that turned his son’s head and heart towards Islam. But something else then going on in the family’s life may be have been just as pertinent.
When Frank Lindh left his family in 1997, it was to move in with a male companion. Yep. … The man with whom Lindh lived has since been described as “a family friend,” but other family friends say the men lived as a gay couple.
It would take a specialist in family issues to map the constellations of feelings and problems that would describe John Walker’s path toward Islam in 1997, but sources close to the family say the father’s turn of life from married man to modern gay man startled and flustered the 16-year-old.
Given the pummeling that the Walkers and marvy Marin County have taken from the national press over their wayward son, you can’t blame the old man for wanting to suppress reporting on his sexuality. …
