The homophobic Left
In some precincts of the rabid Left, the moonbats are now suggesting that Judge John G. Roberts Jr. is gay.
The “evidence” for this “observation” of Judge Roberts’ sexuality rests exclusively in mendacious stereotype. But even were it true, what’s the point? To appeal to the supposed homophobia of the president’s conservative supporters? To give Sen. Robert Bryd a reason to vote against confirmation? To use homosexuality — or, in this case, the fiction of homosexuality — as a weapon against a man? Were we talking race instead of sexual orientation, everyone would recognize this as rank bigotry.
Will sane, self-respecting gay liberals sit for it?
(On the upside, I take this whisper campaign, as loathsome and homophobic as it is, as proof that the “opposition research” on Judge Roberts has come up dry.)
Are you suggesting that I am a bigot and/or homophobe? If so, I would suggest that you are a poor reader of context.
The context of your post, “How gay is this guy?,” is to quote from the Wikipedia entry on Judge Roberts and italicize every gay stereotype therein.
No, that would be the context of the words in that individual post. The context of the post would be to look at that post as a unit within the whole blog.

Ah, the Manhattan Offender weighs in as Moonbat-in-Chief. I fail to see how that link supports the position of innocence that you protest.
Surely this is less a symptom of anti-gay gays than it is about the seething hatred most liberals have for anyone who disagrees with them. You know, liberals? They’re the “tolerant” ones.
No, you see, the only acceptable Gay is a liberal gay, just like the only acceptable black is a liberal one, the only acceptable woman is a liberal one. The only acceptable judge is a liberal one. THe only acceptabler media is a liberal one. The only acceptable thought is a liberal one… . .I think I begin to see a trend here.,
Matt, I think your sense of humor must’ve died when it was pinched off in your retentive ass. I know it’s so much more funs to take things literally, but how about reading other posts by MO & noting the tone of them? But if it’s easier for you to just assume those crazy moonbats must also hate gays, feel free to ignore the facts.
It was a JOKE. MO and Wonkette are SATIRE! They’re not SERIOUS! MO is poking fun at gay stereotypes and using John Roberts as a vehicle to do so. Now, I want you to watch carefully, because I’m going to make a JOKE similar to MOs. Are you watching?
“Hey! I hear John Roberts wore a pink shirt to his confirmation hearing!”
Now. If you’re angry right now because you think I just seriously suggested that JR is gay, then you aren’t getting it. If, on the other hand, you see that I was instead poking fun at the ridiculous stereotype that only gays wear pink shirts, then you’re on the road to recovery.
There seems to be a link between the fundamentalists and their one mode of reading scripture and the just plain dumbass conservative who has only one mode of reading, period.
The post is a joke. The blog uses quite a bit of sarcasm and irony. MANHATTAN for Christ’s sake!!! Where Irony, much to the dismay of the fundies, did NOT die on 11 September.
