Andrew Sullivan, Self-Hating Liar

As usual I enjoyed your column even though it was a little "out there."
Andrew Sullivan is a "gay GOP blogger?" Did you read his endorsement for
John Kerry? Is it really important to point out that he is gay? Or was that
just a cheap shot?

Yes, Sullivan endorsed Kerry--because Bush came out for a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. (This is why he gets the big TIME magazine bucks--because he couldn't see that coming.) Which is why I pointed out that he is gay. Not only does Sullivan talk about being gay all the time, it's a core part of his political identity, so much so that after spending years sucking up to Bush while he set up concentration camps that he only turned slightly against him over gay marriage. Besides, "gay Republican" is like "Jewish Nazi"--it's a bizarre indicator that someone is off their rocker, politically and possibly otherwise.

You sound like a schoolboy whining about name calling and such on right wing blogs. Give me a break, have you ever read Democratic Underground? Does
Kos not have the same kinds of posts on his open threads? If you can dish
out columns about Reagan burning in hell and Pat Tillman being a sap before
his dead ass was even cold then why bitch about a few right wing loons
making gay ass threats? (Metaphor overload).

Perhaps DU and Kos have similarly violent comments in similar portions, but if so I've never been able to find them. There's a big difference between strident invective and threats of violence; the left specializes in the former while the right prefers its politics Gestapo style. And there's a HUGE difference between saying that Reagan is burning in hell (if there is such a place)and threatening to murder someone.
Here's an exercise: substitute "George Bush" for "Ted Rall" in those lines. Now ask yourself: would the Secret Service take an interest in those revised quotes?

If Eason Jordon was so right about the journalists why did he not show some
examples? If you're running CNN you gotta have the facts when you run your
mouth like that.
