And the right wing hardly respected her privacy at all, and indeed made her the butt of many jokes, when she was barely a teenager. the right wing totally respected her privacy. But then along came the sob with the black heart - flipper kerry. That's an interesting bit of revisionist history. flipper is getting desperate. She's an adult, she's an active part of the campaign, Kerry is a rotten sob for picking on a back room supporter. He could have easily made his point leaving her out, but his rotten black heart prevented him from doing so. From The Democratic Underground (not an unbiased source, of course, but they do provide links for all factual claims): [begin quote] After three crushing defeats for George W. Bush, desperate Republicans needed something to distract the media - and they found the perfect foil in Dick Cheney's daughter, Mary. Toward the end of last week's debate moderator Bob Schieffer tossed out a question about gay marriage, specifically asking both candidates, "Do you believe homosexuality is a choice?" Bush's answer was predictably fuzzy. "You know, Bob, I don't know. I just don't know. I do know that we have a choice to make in America and that is to treat people with tolerance and respect and dignity. It's important that we do that. And I also know in a free society people, consenting adults can live the way they want to live." You could almost hear the fundies gnashing their teeth. It's okay though, because while George believes that "consenting adults can live the way they want to live," and we should "treat people with tolerance and respect and dignity," he also believes we should write homophobia into law by amending the Constitution. Kerry's answer to the question "Do you believe homosexuality is a choice?" was much more straightforward. "We're all God's children, Bob. And I think if you were to talk to Dick Cheney's daughter, who is a lesbian, she would tell you that she's being who she was, she's being who she was born as. I think if you talk to anybody, it's not choice." And here's where it gets interesting. Mary Cheney's sexuality is no secret - according to the Gay & Lesbian Times, she has "worked on gay issues and on her father’s 2000 vice presidential campaign," worked as "as a gay community liaison for Coors Brewing Company," and has "served on the advisory board of the Republican Unity Coalition, a gay-straight alliance formed within the Republican party to help increase tolerance within the party for gays and lesbians, and others." Dick Cheney himself brought up Mary's sexuality when speaking on the issue of gay marriage back in August: "Lynne and I have a gay daughter, so it's an issue that our family is very familiar with... With respect to the question of relationships, my general view is that freedom means freedom for everyone." John Edwards mentioned Mary during the vice-presidential debate two weeks ago, saying, "I think the vice president and his wife love their daughter. I think they love her very much. And you can't have anything but respect for the fact that they're willing to talk about the fact that they have a gay daughter, the fact that they embrace her. It's a wonderful thing." Dick Cheney's response? "Let me simply thank the senator for the kind words he said about my family and our daughter. I appreciate that very much." But after last week's debate the Cheneys suddenly weren't so appreciative. Lynne Cheney said of John Kerry, "This is not a good man. Of course, I am speaking as a mom, and a pretty indignant mom. This is not a good man. What a cheap and tawdry political trick." Because obviously when you mention your homosexual daughter as an example of why gays should be treated with respect it's okay, but when your opponent mentions your homosexual daughter as an example of why gays should be treated with respect, it's a "tawdry political trick." Speaking of tawdry political tricks, the Bush campaign spent the rest of the week tossing "outrage" and "indignation" and various other impassioned synonyms at anyone who would listen, coincidentally obscuring the fact that Dubya got his ass handed to him during the debate. And yet... back in April Republican senator Rick Santorum compared homosexuality to incest, bigamy and adultery. In an August newsletter to supporters, Jerry Falwell called Mary Cheney "errant" (although he graciously admitted that "it should not affect Mr. Cheney's ability to serve as Vice President"). And in September, Republican senate candidate Alan Keyes specifically targeted Mary Cheney as "a selfish hedonist." Funny, I don't remember seeing Lynne Cheney all over the TV expressing her "outrage" after any of those incidents. Maybe she was too busy trying to find a way to keep Mary off the stage during the Republican National Convention. [end quote] Mr. Kerry did not say anything untrue; he did not in any way insult or demean Ms. Cheney, unlike some prominent Republicans; he did not say anything that isn't common knowledge; he didn't say anything that the Cheney family hasn't also said publicly. Ms. Cheney has, in fact, based part of her career on her sexual orientation, acting as a consultant and/or liaison with companies and political campaigns. I get really sick of faux outrage on the part of the right. Best, Marc duke ***** Matthew 22 14"For many are invited, but few are chosen." ***** |
