AMERICAblog: Why is the corporate media ignoring the McCain gay-sex donor story?

  • KarenMrsLloydRichards · 1 year ago
    MSM: It's the "Ick Factor"! That's why massive willed silence about Bulldog in the White House (except for Katie Couric's memorable response to one brief segment on Gannon on NBC)! Larry Craig and Mark Foley: well, we'll go out on a limb to report some sensational gay stuff as long as it looks like they're just isolated cases, but don't expect us to really investigate or report on the systemic nexus between homosex and political power, especially in the GOP.

    The Chairman of Manhunt had to step down because of his donation to McCain, but McCain never returned the donation.

    Guess Manhunt has higher ethical standards than the McCain Campaign.

    Stepping down is just something "for show"

    The guy is still making MUCHO DINERO at the expense of gays.

    Hope more gays delete their PAID accounts.

    a self-loathing hate sympathizer in charge at Manhunt and nobody knew about it until he gave mccain some dinero? sorry, boys, but one resignation is not enough. you're all dirty.

    The real story is - WTF is a gay man doing donating to the Republicans. Once again, this confirms my premise. Republicans never vote for their interest. Like my grandparents, who think they will die from a terrorist, meanwhile they have to spend $2000 a month for their drugs.

    Right ,and that's a story too

    They're still too busy talking about John Edwards' love child, that's why!

    The corporate media's job is to report as much dirt on Libruls as they CAN and only as much dirt on the Corporate Elite as they must. And to persuade people that there is no such thing as The Common Good and no chance of making any real change to our system. Seems to me they are doing their jobs well.

    Taking a gay buck is not news to Republicans. They do it all the time. Money may be the root of all evil, but nothing makes a Republican scream louder for more.
  • Webster · 1 year ago
    Oh, there's something that makes a Republican scream louder for more ... I just can't go into the details here.

    I hate those sites. They're elitist and cater only to hot guys and rich daddies. I'm convinced they stay on line and in business because their major clients are heavily closeted Republican and Log Cabin types. I'm none of that so boo-hoo! and I don't care.

    Nice touch with the member name specified in the login screen, : - )

    Sep issue of OUT has an essay by Michael Joseph Gross which asks: is Manhunt destroying gay culture? It's worth reading and thinking about, Americablog Kidz.

    Hhahaaha. "Username:MAVERICK" Good one John.

    Ooh but the model has a nice tush. Hehe.
  • PaulMorel · 1 year ago
    Ugh. The title of the digg story leaves out the word "donor" ...

    that is kind of low.

    Corporate welfare.
    2 words. We have a 2 tiered system of welfare in this country for the last 8 years. The regular welfare which the Republicans despise because the perceive these people as lazy and getting something for nothing. And then the Corporate Welfare. Those that get hugh benefits by sucking up to the neocons, Republicans and this administration. They receive largess by supporting the policies of the Republicans.
    They can't let go yet while the repubs hold the purse strings and dick cheney is in office. God knows what they have sold to the devil, but their time is coming. RIP

    I don't understand why any gay person votes for a republican. Don't they get it by now that the repugs are just using them for their money and votes.
  • Topher · 1 year ago
    I never really got it either, but I think it is essentially a self-serving position for wealthy gays. If you have enough money you can insulate yourself from the social issues that are important to the Democrats/Progressives (health care, social security, even to an extent the marriage issue). I suspect the most important factor for them then becomes paying lower taxes to keep what they got.
  • Blueflash · 1 year ago
    Yes, wealthy gays, especially if they grew up with wealth , have allows tended to be complacent about gay rights. They're insulated by their money. It is very selfish. As Cheney's daughter, Mary, once said - I've never been a ramparts kind of girl. The gay rights movement has always been driven by middle-class gay people.

    I don't think the screen grab from that gay site is "work-place safe."
  • High Crimes & Misdemeanors · 1 year ago
    Shouldn't some be posting this link on the manhunt website that the CEO is a right winger????

    Anyone here with a manhunt login name that can do that, and leave it up all day??
  • lefthand · 1 year ago
    I tried that, and my profile was not approved. MANHUNT and i exchanged a few emails, but they refused to accept the profile because it was too "politically charged."

    Funny how that excuse doesn't show up in MANHUNT's rules and regulations.
  • FunMe · 1 year ago
    Then it is OUR job to make sure the media gets it.

    Remeber the MALE WHORE in the white house. It was all quiet at first, and then WHAM! the story hit CNN. Unfortunately in that case (Jim Gookert?/aka Jeff Gannon) we never did get the truth about why he was in the White House after hours. But we know ...

    so spread this story to everyone. Let's not forget newspapers and more.

    John McCain loves the gay sex dollars!
  • KarenMrsLloydRichards · 1 year ago
    Yeah! John McCain loves, needs, wants gay sex dollars derived from men who are into r*mming, f*sting, c*cks*cking, *ss-ramming, tonsil-hockey, t*a-bagging, shr*mping, n*pple-play, s*xty-nine, fr*ttage, etc. etc. Let the whole world know: JOHN MCCAIN BEGS LIKE A DAWG FOR GAY SEX $$$!
