Have you read of the uproar over a leftwing activist for an obscure leftwing news outlet (many would label it propaganda) who regularly attends White House press briefings and asks highly partisan questions? Gee, I can't imagine why not! But Russell Mokhiber, who writes for the Naderite "Corporate Crime Reporter" newsletter and the "progressive" website Common Dreams boasts on that site's blog of asking Bush's press secretary derogatory questions (read them here). So far, though, conservatives haven't pummeled through his sex life.
As Andrew Sullivan
notes:
It's an Animal Farm moment: the difference between a fanatic on the gay left and a fanatic on the religious right is harder and harder to discern. Just ask yourself: if a Catholic conservative blogger had found out that a liberal-leaning pseudo-pundit/reporter was a gay sex worker, had outed the guy as gay and a "hooker," published pictures of the guy naked, and demanded a response from a Democratic administration, do you think gay rights groups would be silent? They'd rightly be outraged. But the left can get away with anything, can't they? Especially homophobia.
It certainly seems so.
