Politics Make for Very Strange BedfellowsPosted on Oct 13, 2006So, as if the Mark Foley stuff wasn’t weird enough already, it’s about to get even weirder and nastier. According to Max Blumenthal at The Nation, some anti-Republican gay rights activists (inspired apparently by the Foley scandal and a supposed “gay clique” that some claim to be responsible for the coverup) sent a memo with the names of closeted congressional staffers to Christian-right advocacy groups in hopes of inciting a “purge” of gay Republicans from Washington.

Broiler, I was thinking the exact same thing.
This whole thing just goes along with the fact we are quickly turning into a not so free country. What’s next is the only question.

This is the stuff comedians dream of:
“The Coming Gay Republican Purge”
Not funny enough? Here’s another:
“gay Republican Congressional staffers”
These are language land mines! Watch your step:
“gay clique boring within the Republican-controlled Congress”
Tell me, are they “boring” uninteresting or are
“boring” as in drilling for oil?
Thank you MAX BLUMENTHAL!!
