Far Left Obsessed With "Perry is gay" Rumour

[AgeOfEnlightenmentSCP]

What is it with liberals and their obsession with race, gender, religion, and sexual orientation?

A story by Politico predicts that if Texas governor Rick Perry runs for president, he will again have to deal with unproven rumors that he's gay. Meanwhile, the story itself is helping spread the rumors once more.

The Drudge Report linked to the speculation with the headline "Media Digs Up Rumors." On the more liberal side of the political spectrum, The Huffington Post wrote up a story about the "Rick Perry Gay Rumors."

Politico reports that "the crusted-over rumors were in the ether among some attendees at a dinner hosted last week by the Manhattan County GOP, where Perry gave the keynote speech." And it reminds readers that Perry was once backed into doing an interview with an Austin newspaper specifically to rebut the notion in 2004.

"As you may know, Rick and Anita Perry first met in grade school, went on their first date together in 1966, have been lovingly married since 1982 and are parents to two grown children," according to Dave Carney, a Perry strategist quoted by Politico in defense of the governor's marriage.

I thought it was the conservatives that were so obsessed with race, gender, religion and sexual orientation?

Why would the left care? Aren't they supposed to be tolerant of all lifestyle choices?

[bubblyandblue]

Yea, what ed1066 said. So, ed1066, choose.

No, that's just what the left SAYS is the case. In reality, what the far left DOES speaks so loudly it's hard to hear what they SAY.

I’ve been in Texas over 50 years, and the first time heard about this is now, from the far right.

I never heard he is gay. But-- if he is gay why the from the left?? Oh, yeah, because he is a contender, and they can't win on Obama's record, so they have to destroy the players.. Whatever.. I'm kinda looking at all those jobs in Texas...

The left is more tolerant. Because the right appears to be more intolerant, some on the right end up being a bunch of hypocrites when they get caught doing something they preached against. I cant understand how you and paul dont get it.

I do get it. The left is "tolerant" of other lefties when it suits their political agenda. Otherwise, they are more than happy to persecute someone for their lifestyle choices...

Everybody loves to rail against hypocrits, how is that news?

[txbo]

The left knows Perry doesn’t have a prayer as the republican nominee, it will be Romney. The only ones I worry about are Romney and Huntsman.

No, they are more than happy to persecute those on the right who do not practice what they preach.

I would be truly surprised if Romney won.

Because they are trying to get his fan base to hate him. What is a better way to get gay-hating republicans to hate someone?

Oh, please look at some right wing posters here all they post is innuendos and conjectures from questionable sources. I could start a blog with the title “Promising Tea Party Candidate Rick Perry of Texas is rumored to be Gay.” Although there is no substantiated evidence and no gay lover has stepped forward with conclusive effidence one can also surmise, where there’s smoke there’s fire.
Perry would not cruise the local Austin, Texas gay bars but he has taken many excursion to large metropolitan areas that support a significant gay community. Perry has been married for many years and unlike another married conservative he has not stated that he is gay.

Oh, yeah, because he is a contender,

LOL, only Conservatives would find a potential secessionist a contender to be President. Also strange is it's the same people who wrap themselves in the flag too. Must be that CONvenient amnesia that's going around.

what the far left DOES speaks so loudly it's hard to hear what they SAY.

Like how nobody but you cared enough to bother to post a thread about him being gay? Hey, maybe you can post four more threads and have them on the same page, just like you did with Palin; remember folks, we're the obsessed ones, hyuk!

Otherwise, they are more than happy to persecute someone for their lifestyle choices...

Eeew! Imagine being in the same anything as Barney Frank...
