#1 Why are Puffington Hosters obsessed with the idea that Republicans might be secretly homosexual? I mean, there's the Log Cabin Republicans who are open about both their proclivities for a start -- even I know about them, so why don't the PH-ers?

#2 It's so they can say vicious things, of course. They use all the horrid anti-gay smears that they'd never get to use otherwise. The fact that this sort of disrespect is verboten to any homosexuals, known or unknown, makes no difference to them. If you pinned one of them down on the issue, your response would be something along the lines of "I don't care! I just like to bash the fascist assholes!" P.C. only works one way, of course.

#3 TW, homosexual references are a very common form of abuse from the Left.* Something else they have in common with Islamists.

* I once defined a Liberal as a person who needs someone else to tell him what to think. The homosexual references seems to stem from the general insecurity that characterizes Left Liberals - sexual instead of intellectual.

#4 The symbolism of the fasces suggested strength through unity: a single rod is easily broken, while the bundle is difficult to break

With their love of authority to tell them what to think and do, the Left are the fascists. Of course the real fascists believed they were socialists, and they were right.

#5 And the Left's authority to use 'fascist' to label their political opponents is Stalin himself.

#6 There's also the very strong possibility that they are repressed homosexuals who are extremely uncomfortable with their true proclivities. (A sizable number of gay bashers...not verbal, but actual physical bashers...are that way. They are symbolically beating down a part of themselves that frightens them.)

#9 Beavis, they have a picture of Brown wearing a bikini? No wonder all the gay commentary!

#11 I personally don't care if the Browns all wear cowboy hats, diapers, and play Dixie on kazoos. As long as he helps stop this insanity in Washingon, he's good-to-go with me.

#14 A very handsome family. Scott carried P-Town, and I don't think it's because of his tax policy. Speaking of the gender-confused, didn't the HuffPo heiress make her fortune as the beard for some rich metrosexual?

#15 Heres wiki's take, I needed to look up the term 'beard' as slang because I didn't know what it meant. Im not sure, but it does appear that her rich husband was a self professed bisexual.

"Personal life
After graduation, she moved to London and lived with the journalist and broadcaster Bernard Levin, whom she had met while the two were panelists on the TV show Face the Music. In 1980 she left Levin and moved to the United States, after he refused to marry her. After Levin's death in 2004, she called him "the big love of my life, [] a mentor as a writer, and a role model as a thinker".[15] During these years and around the time of her involvement with John-Roger's religious group, she was involved with Democratic politician and then-governor (currently Attorney General) of California, Jerry Brown. It was during this time that Huffington (then Stassinopoulos) was first known as a liberal Democrat, the position she returned to once again in the post-90s following the right-wing years of the 1980s to late 1990s.[citation needed]

She met oil millionaire Michael Huffington, a family friend of the Bushes, at a 1985 party hosted by Ann Getty in San Francisco. The couple was married in 1986 at a wedding paid for by Getty, who had declared that she needed to find Arianna a husband. They moved to Washington, D.C., when he was appointed to serve as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Negotiations Policy. They later established residency in Santa Barbara, California, in order for him to run in 1992 as a Republican for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, which he won by a significant margin. He was a political conservative on most issues. Arianna campaigned for her husband, courting religious conservatives, arguing for smaller government and a reduction in welfare. In 1994 he narrowly lost the race for the U.S. Senate seat from California to incumbent Dianne Feinstein.[16]

The couple divorced in 1997, and in 1998 Michael Huffington revealed that he was bisexual.[17] The financial terms of their divorce agreement remain undisclosed. Arianna Huffington chose to retain her former husband's surname, although she had been known as Arianna Stassinopoulos Huffington during the period of her marriage"

#16 Common complaint from the men in her life: "After listening to her talk for any length of time, I could no longer get it up" (needs citation)

Okay, I made that up. But you know it's true

#17 Leeesten, excuse me, Im not done heeere, --A.H.

Famous last words of A.H. God I love to rip on her a little too much. Especially now knowing that she used to bat for the Conservative team and defected.
