CAGiversary!
The statement Kerry made last night about Mary Cheney is blowing up everywhere I've turned today on broadcast, cable, internet and talk radio. The talking heads are having a field day with this. Forget the spin about Kerry winning the debate, his remarks and the people talking about him are overshadowing it.
I think the whole tactic has backfired tremendously and is showing the left as bigots. Bigots? The left? Obviously the statement about Mary Cheney was meant to embarass President Bush and VP Cheney on the issue of gay marriage. Unfortunately Bush and Cheney are seperated on the issue in a public way. In addition to that this was the second time Mary Cheney was brought up in debates, the first by the Presidential half of the ticket.
The purpose?
Obviously someone or some piece of research in Kerry's campaign believes that if the nation knew Mary Cheney was a lesbian the Republican base would abandon the ticket. Problem is, everyone has known, everyone knew at the 2000 convention. People have known that the Cheney's have accepted Mary's partner into their family.
Conclustion? Democrats, blind with rage that they're still not comfortably ahead, determine that all Republicans are ignorant, redneck hicks with gunracks on the back of their pickup trucks and a dead deer draining on the bedliner, driving home at 80 MPH tossing empty Buds out on the interstate and will be completely SHOCKED at this news. Guess what, there is no outrage on the right, except that Kerry stooped so low.
Of all the gay people in life why pick on one that hasn't made her persona, face, voice or comments very public in a very public year? How many more gay people in public life could have been used as illustrations that people could relate with? Rosie O' Donnell, Ellen DeGeneres, Barney Frank or hell this years criminal messiah Jim McGreevey would have been appropriate. Answer: John Kerry wanted the "bigotry" of the right to eat up the Bush/Cheney ticket.
Unfortunately not one caller on the War Room (Regional network broadcast.), Glen Beck or Rush Limbaugh has expressed any outrage over Mary Cheney being a lesbian. There have been no angry posts on Free Republic over this "outing". To the contrary, every piece of commentary, phone call and monologue has summarily declared "We know, we knew, we didn't care, we all know gay people and Kerry was a bigot for bringing up this cheap personal political attack."
Of course all of you Kool Aid drinkers will rally around the "Bush and Cheney are hypocrites if what you say is true PAD." but as usual, you'll all be wrong. Shock of shock people on the right know and love gay people. We wouldn't wish them harm and live with full knowledge of their lives. Just because we're drawing a line in the sand and saying no to gay marriage doesn't mean we're full of hate.
Then again the party of the purple tin tub only knows the sterotypes they've concocted for the last 20 years about their opponents. Unfortunately that sterotype is as dated as bucked tooth Asians doing nothing but laundry for a living, illiterate incomprehensible watermellon and fried chicken eating black people, hooked nose Jewish money lenders and Mexicans that sleep all day instead of work. Unfortunately for Democrats the rest of the sterotypes have been shamed into history and the reality of this sterotype has yet to smack them in the face.
Don't worry though it will. It will be confirmed during the early morning hours of November 3rd when the red states carry the headlines. Democrats will then spend the next two months before inaguration wondering why they lost. It's because you're bigots stupid!
