A prominent gay adviser to the campaign of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama resigned Tuesday after reports surfaced that he wrote a blistering denunciation of rival presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton that brought up President Bill Clintons extra-marital affair with a White House intern.
Telling the truth now gets you canned? Oh, right, Dhimmicrats ...
Maxim Thorne, a member of the Obama campaigns GLBT Leadership Council and former chief operating officer at the Human Rights Campaign, wrote that Hillary Clinton should disclose her whereabouts when Monica was having sex with Bill. Thorne penned his message in a lengthy e-mail to a listserv with hundreds of recipients, according to a report in Politico.
[W]hen Bin Laden was building Al Qaeda, Bill and she were fighting impeachment, fighting Paula Jones, fighting Katherine Wiley, Thorne wrote, in a reference to two women who claimed to have had affairs with President Clinton. Which is true, by the way--not that it matters in a Democratic Party primary.
Thornes resignation from the Obama GLBT Leadership Council came after Obama campaign spokesperson Tommy Vietor issued a statement saying, These comments have no place in this campaign. . . .

with MT's resignation, I wonder how many people are left in the Obama GLBT Leadership council?
and, is it more or fewer than the Clinton GLBT Leadership council?
#3
Wows, its like watching 2 chess players kill off a capital piece so long as they take the one of the other's capital piece. Zingers from both sides!
#4
So both of these losers got the GLBT Leadership Council thing, huh? How come we don't hear anything from their Exalted Grand Poo-Bah of Home Remodeling, or outdoor Power Sports or sychronized beer farting....
willing to bet there are more motocrossers than cross dressers that vote.
Interesting debate between Mr. McConnell and a professor at Johns Hopkins University. Hat tip Hugh Hewitt.

After the debate I propose the good professor be given an M16 and 210 rounds and shipped to Afghanistan where he can debate Al Qaeda to his heart's content. He might even learn something about how the real world works.

Nehru wrote The Discovery of India in the Ahmednagar Fort prison. I began my journey to Discover Pakistan in the New Central Jail, Multan So reads a small segment of the book on the Discovery of Pakistan, The Indus Saga-From Pataliputra to Partition by Aitzaz Ahsan, a legal luminary, human rights activist and an unrelenting champion of democracy.
History is often made by the churning of buoyant minds, and discoveries are made by great explorers delving into the realms of cranial electrodes and the physical world. But the Discovery of Pakistan by Pakistanis has more metaphysical ingredients than the ingredients needed to make an Einstein.
Before the acclaimed Mr Ahsan discovered Pakistan while moving from one jail to another during Zia-ul-Haq regime, another worthy explorer, Chaudhry Rahmat Ali, had discovered the ethnic, linguistic, and religious wirings of the odd bubble of modern history Pakistan. He coined the word and scribbled the philosophy around the time Allama Mohammad Iqbal discovered and pronounced the historic imperative for a separate Muslim homeland.

Basically a sardonic view of the founding, history and curren mess that is Pakistan. Pretty much summed up by the last paragraph:
But the fact remains that the so-called 5,000 year-old Nation on the Indus is no nation at all. It is a jihad exporting region ruled by fanatic army commanders, mullahs and paranoid politicians.

I don't know either. But from the comments, a couple of guys I think got the jist of it, and they appear to want to debate with him in the typically Muslim way...

I double my offer of $ 1 million for Dhar's head. Get the head and get the money.

You Hindus deserve ghoolami of the Muslims. You were our Ghoolams for 1000 years. We would again take you under our sword. You Jimmis are incurable kafirs.
. . . Each time the Rev. Wrights latest clip is played, Obama is going to lose voters unless he explains how and why such sentiments are not his own, and how and why he could attend such sermons without being ill at ease.
You see, the Michelle Obama and Rev. Wright rhetoric while welcome to some African-American audiences and elite whites simply outrages the working classes of all backgrounds, most of whom have never had opportunities to go to prep schools like Obama did, or private schools where his children are enrolled, or Columbia/Harvard and Princeton/Harvard from which he and his wife graduated, or worked in elite positions for blue-chip law firms as this power couple once did.
In short, class can often trump race. The notion that very privileged people, with elite educations and income, seem to be suggesting (as well as being at ease with others who do) that the country is currently somehow pathological or unfair is not simply something that bothers the less fortunate, but literally enrages them.
Why? Because ingratitude, even the perception of it, is one of our strongest of emotions.

I feel sick that this stuff about Rev. Wright, who is Muzz light, has come into prominenece now. Why, oh why, couldn't these jackoffs have held back until the Dummocrats had selected B. Hussein as their nominee ? Could have torpedoed his leaking boat in one fell swoop. Wouldn't have required any Swift Boat assistance either.
#2
You will not need any Swift Boaters for this election. All you have to do is ask
"What has Sen. Obama done in his 3 years in the Senate that qualifies him to be President?"
Nobody but the most diehard partisans are going to even try to answer that.

My concern is how representative Rev. Wright may be of other A-A church leadership. Scary to think that, in addition to the Muzzies, we have to worry about "church-goin'" Blacks as well.... YIKES!

This week a working class girl at Mazzios Pizza told me that if you wanted the job, you had to wear the green Mazzio's shirt. If you do not want to wear the shirt, that's okay, just don't ask for the job. She thought Obama should not ask for the job as President if he could not wear the American shirt -like saying the pledge, loving America ( unlike his wife and minister ), wearing an American flag pin.
Obama, its okay to hate America, to not wear an American flag pin, to refuse to say the pledge, to hate Anglos ( and other races ), just don't ask for the job as President. Go make pizza.
