Sugar Lips' anti-gay homo NRSC spokesbot

Tuesday, August 01, 2006

Mike Rogers has exposed another politically closeted operative who is working to oppress other gays and lesbians by working for anti-gay pols and organizations.

Brian Walton, spokesman for the Dole-led (poorly led for that matter) National Republican Senatorial Committee uses his position to churn out homo strawman sleaze like this (via BlogActive):

Mike: I have spoken with individuals who have had intimate encounters with Mr. Walton. I spoke with him via telephone and he acknowledged he was gay. Mr. Walton then asked me if he could call me back in fifteen or twenty minutes and I said "sure." Mr. Walton did not call back and he did not return two messages left for him on his office phone and cell phone.
Walton, btw, also acknowledges he's gay on this web site.

Mike has more on his site and an email action item.

Has someone alerted my senator, The Empty Wig, Elizabeth Dole, a supporter of the Federal Marriage Amendment, that her NRSC spokesman is a anti-gay homo?

Actually, when BlogActive was doing a series of outings last year, the hubbub made it into an issue of GQ, and it mentioned Liddy's response to nervous closet cases in her office:

"Senator Elizabeth Dole of North Carolina reportedly told her staff they had nothing to worry about, should any of them be outed.

...One staffer tells [the article's author Jake] Tapper a fact known inside the beltway but not widely reported-that some members of Congress posture as being more anti-gay than they actually are to please constituents. "We're a representative democracy," the staffer told GQ. "And while members may not have personal problems with having gay staff, they vote the way their constituents want them to."
More on the "politically closeted" problem here, here, and here.
