Re-enable spell check on your computer. Either that, or don’t post in the midst of a session of enjoying tasty adult beverages.
You disgust me, you piece of filth.
LoL. First, ColoradoPols pulled down the Obama joke. I guess Pols found it uncomfortable that I borrowed the joke from The Denver Post….
Second, and I hate to point this out, but gay baiting is, “Attempting to lure a suspected homosexual into revealing himself or herself by giving off indications that one might be gay as well,” at least that’s how Urban Dictionary defines the term.
Really, by definition, my post attempts none of this, unless, Thilly Wabbit, you think The President might get on line at ColoradoPols and pony up that he’s gay for Michael Bennet. I just don’t think that’s gonna happen, however.
Third, in reference to the sauna portion of the now-removed joke, it is clear you have never been in a sauna. Men and women generally do not have sex in one. It’s too hot. Plus, you might get splinters.
I don’t think the biological sex of the partner matters in this choice, either. My gay and straight friends back me up on this. I have been conducting an informal survey today, kinda like the one The Post keeps quoting to say Michael is 16 points ahead of Romanoff, and 90% of my respondents have agreed: a sauna is no place to get frisky.
For my part, I’m Swedish, and as much as we Swedes love a good sauna, I am unaware of any of my family who has had sex in one, which is unusual for my family. We like to have kids…
I’m doubly unsure why you single SquareState out as a place for gay baiting. What are you implying about Ms. Fong’s blog site? It seems more welcoming than many. Have you been up to something there?
But it was revolting and it has no place in Democratic politics. Not even Andrew Romanoff would approve.
Do you have a link for your DP source? I want to see just how badly you mangled the context of this. My guess is “badly.”
There are political races where making subtle inference that your opponent is gay (and the President, and the Secretary of Education), but a Democratic Senate primary is not one of them. This is the kind of sick shit that ENDS Democratic primaries.
I wish the Guvs hadn’t deleted it so I could forward it to my LGBT friends like I did Stryker’s remarks about old people a couple of days ago.
You’re right. That kind of whisper, innuendo has no place in Democratic primaries. So I assume you mean that when multiple surrogates at assemblies said one of the differences between Bennet and Romanoff was that “we know Bennet is married, has a wife and kids” and his staffers were overheard as was reported on pols saying “I don’t know why Andrew is single and I don’t think it should be an issue but it will be in the general” – you mean that “kind of sick shit” has no place in a Democratic primary? I know Bennet’s surrogates have had to apologize and one even had to give out his cell phone so he could apologize to people individually. Will you now condemn that? We could ask Bennet but he’s ducking debates and a video posted shows his press troopers blocking people from taping him answering any questions.
You had better learn some better debating skills. That was just pathetic, even for you (and you, and you, and you).
Where do you guys come up with your material? It is almost like G.W. Bush is writing your skits.
First, as TrueBlue points out, some idiot tried to insinuate that Romanoff was gay at a caucus in Boulder. As a Democrat, I can tell you this, I DON’T CARE IF ROMANOFF AND/OR BENNET IS/ARE GAY. I don’t care if Obama is a Muslim, and I sure don’t care that Bill slept with that woman. It just doesn’t matter.
What I want to know is, who out there has a shred of ethics and the public’s interest at heart? With that in mind, let’s look at the behavior of Bennet supporters on ColoradoPols.
“Ceausescu did more to keep Romania for Romanians than anyone else ever. He said he’d keep us safe, and he did. Don’t believe me? Look there, the T.V. shows how wonderfully the grocery stores are stocked. He is a great man…”
Sound familiar to anyone out there?
I believe this is called Swift boating, or a fear and smear campaign, and it was a favorite tactic of Karl Rove. Said the Bennetista after reading a satire of his candidate, “Ooo, he’s anti-gay. Did you hear, he said the 1st time the President met Bennet it was in a sauna. He even had a funny picture of the President holding his hands up about 5 inches apart while at the podium. My liberal self was so offended.” Yep, call me Anita Bryant.
“Bennet fixed DPS. Bennet fixed DPS. Bennet fixed DPS.”
How many times are you guys gonna spin that out? Do you think anyone near DPS who isn’t on the Bennet payroll believes it? I guess we’ll find out in about two and a half weeks.
So, is that all you got? I’m not feelin’ the ethics, Bennet supporters. You all sound like petty 5th graders with the I-know-you-are-but-what-am-I defense. That defense always ensures the public interest is served. Is that reflective of the Bennet campaign? (Wait, it is — you guys send e-mails about the other campaign going negative while you put out your own trash. Now that’s takin’ the high ground.)
Never go straight. Always go forward. There’s words to live by, my friends.
And I was deeply offended. By you. I don’t give a rat’s ass who you vote for. I care when you write something that’s bigoted and offensive, and that is what you did. Own it.
I think humor is often a better way to cut to the chase in the world of political nonsense.
As much as I hate the droning pissing matches, I love ripping satire even more.
Much Appreciated. Dare I say, “More”?
my comments above apply to the edited version of this diary, as it’s the only one I ever saw.
I can’t / won’t make comments about that which I did not see.
😉
You got that right. Something I’ve known for just about forever — I couldn’t even win the Hall Monitor election in fourth grade.
and the principal apointed Sissy Vavoom hall monitor even though you, diogenesdemar, had clearly earned the job by your faithful efforts cleaning the erasers?
You got a raw deal!
True story.
There were four main positions up for election — President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer — in our class of about thirty students.
No campaigining, just a nominating committee that put together its recommendations for a slate of four or five names for each position.
The committee put my name on all four slates.
I lost the Presidential race. I lost the Vice-Presidential race. I lost the Secretary race. And, I lost the Treasurer race. (I may have been the only kid in the class that didn’t have a position of some sort at the end of that particularly devastating day.)
Now recalling that day, I’ve got to admit it’s probably the singular instance most informing my cynical views of all political processes.
each nominee had to make a “campaign speech” prior to each election.
So it went like this:
Presidential race — candidate speeches — class votes.
Vice Presidential race — candidate speeches — class votes.
etc., etc.,
By the time the Treasurer speeches came around, I said something along the (fourth grade) lines of, “Fuck It — Who Cares?”
