RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman

Political pundit Bill Maher last night accused the head of the Republican National Committee of being a closet "gay."

Appearing on CNN's Larry King Live, Maher said it's an open secret in Washington that RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman is a homosexual and that he has "never denied" it.

Maher added that he plans to out at least three other closeted Republican officials – including "chiefs of staff" – on his HBO political show Friday night to show their hypocrisy in supporting traditional family values. He is host of "Real Time with Bill Maher."

King asked Maher if the charges have appeared "in print," and Maher responded affirmatively.

Rumors of Mehlman's sexual orientation first appeared last year in GQ magazine. The RNC denied the charge. "Ken Mehlman is not gay," said then-RNC official Steve Schmidt. However, when asked directly by "gay" publications, Mehlman has dodged the question.

Maher brought up the issue while addressing reasons Republicans lost Congress. He said the Mark Foley scandal hurt Republicans. Foley revealed his homosexuality last month after resigning his Florida seat over sexually graphic emails in which he allegedly solicited male pages.

Foley's former chief of staff Kirk Fordham was recently outed by the Los Angeles Times.

The FBI is investigating reports that another "gay" Republican lawmaker, Jim Kolbe of Arizona, engaged in improper behavior with male pages during a camping trip to the Grand Canyon.

Maher joked that GOP voters yesterday wanted to vote a straight Republican ticket but "nobody could find a straight Republican."

Last week, defrocked evangelical leader Ted Haggard confessed to having relations with a homosexual prostitute. Haggard met monthly with White House officials to discuss, among other things, a constitutional amendment banning "gay" marriage.

Mehlman also supports the amendment.

The White House took heat earlier in the administration for credentialing fake reporter Jeff Gannon of Talon News Service, a front for a group called GOPUSA. Gannon, whose real name is J.D. Guckert, turned out to be a homosexual porn star.

Some in Washington have charged the White House and Congress are run by a "Gay Republican Mafia."

Deputy White House chief of staff Karl Rove's adopted father, who died in 2004, was a closet "gay" who left his mother when Rove was a senior in high school. But Rove still supports a ban on "gay" marriage. "The ideal is that marriage ought to be and should be a union of a man and a woman," he has said.

He and his wife, Darby, have one child."

Ah yes...democrats...the party of tolerance...NOT!

How does outing Ken Mehlman prove that the Democrats are not tolerant? First, Bill Mahr does nto speak for all Democrats. Second, he's not condemning Ken Mehlman because he's gay. Unlike Republicans, Democrats don't have a problem with people being gay.

 

[hipsterdufus]

This is hardly news about Melman, I've heard this about him for at least 2 years.

It's the fact that while the GOP actively pursues anti-gay legistlation, it's leader is a closeted homosexual.

And BTW- Maher isn't a Democrat.

That's what he says... I believe him as much as I believe Navy Pride when he says he isn't a Republican...

Does anybody think that maybe there are gay people who don't want gay marriage?? I bet there are alot of straight guys right now wishing there was a ban on straight marriage.

Its a matter of principle for them. They feel as if their rights are violated if they can't marry.

 

[Navy Pride]

Maher is an idiot and a Bush Hater............Who cares whether Mehlman is gay or not?

Not the gay people I know......They just want the same benefits and rights as straights get........Don't believe me ask jallman.........

 

[faminedynasty]

The issue is one of hypocrisy. Since the republicans claim to hate gays and have won elections based on claiming to hate them it is of great consequence that so many of them are in fact gay. It indicates that the platform of republicans is a farce and that they do not believe the ridiculous "value" based issues they use to get elected. But you knew that already.

 

[hipsterdufus]

BTW Maher's full of sh!t there is nothing libertarian about his positions.

For the record, Maher repeatedly says he's not a Dem. My guess is that he's an Independent.

 

[ALiberalModerate]

The same could be said about many of your positions. At any rate, its been rumored that Mehlman was a closeted gay for years. This is nothing new.

 

[SixStringHero]

Mahr is about as much an Independent as O' Reilly is. :2razz:

 

[Trajan Octavian Titus]

For the record he's a lying sack of sh!t one needs do no more than watch his show to know that he's lock step with the far left in the DNC, he claims he's a Libertarian but every position he takes with the exception of drug legalization is consistent with the Democratic Party platform. He's pro-welfare, pro-gun control, pro-environmental regulation, and just recently he stated that he's against military contractors, that is in direct contradiction to anarcho-capitalistic principles found in the Libertarian party.

Is Bill Maher a libertarian?
His "Politically Incorrect" record calls him something else.

Guns:

The Libertarian Party platform compares gun-control laws to Prohibition. The party believes such regulations only harm law-abiding citizens by creating a black market for firearms and increasingly powerful organized crime. Echoing the National Rifle Association, the party asserts that it's people who kill people and that guns are "inanimate objects." Libertarians believe police and politicians should encourage gun ownership as well as education and training.

Maher supports gun-control laws. While he says he favors the right to own "a gun," he questions whether large weapons arsenals are what the Founding Fathers had in mind. Maher recently told Texas legislator Suzanna Hupp, "The Second Amendment doesn't refer to the world we live in now." He voiced skepticism about Hupp's proposal to allow the carrying of concealed weapons. His views mirror the Democratic platform that advocates "stronger laws and stronger enforcement."

Education:

Libertarians believe America's public schools have failed. They cite overregulation for turning schools into "dangerous places for our children." They advocate an end to government control and a full disbanding of the Department of Education. They say control should rest with "parents and teachers, and [they] encourage alternatives to the public school monopoly."

Maher supports public schooling. He's particularly outspoken against home schooling, calling it "the social version of inbreeding." He has also been critical of school voucher initiatives, claiming they would take money away from needy institutions.

Social Security:

Libertarians believe Social Security is heading toward bankruptcy and argue that Americans should be given the option to "opt out" of the government system and invest their money in personal retirement accounts. They say that even the most conservative investment strategies would yield three times the benefits promised by Social Security.

Maher agrees. On his July 12 program, Maher said Social Security was "advancing the term 'lame' to people too lame to save for themselves." He advocates a streamlined Social Security system primarily geared toward the disabled.

*cringe*
You don't have to be an anarcho-capitalist to be a libertarian. The anarcho-capitalists are absolute idiots who make the rest of us look bad. Most libertarians aren't extremists like the Libertarian Party. The LP would do a lot better if they were willing to sacrifice a little ideological purity in exchange for electability.



(Although I agree that Maher is definitely more liberal than libertarian.)

I am confused by the gay republicans. Why don't they start a new party, one in which their followers won't hate them? Or is it more like the Spartans, rampant homosexuality, but still a need for women in order to procreate?

I may be going out on a limb here, but I can honestly say I don't believe that all republicans, or the majority for that matter are of the Pat Robertson variety.

I am not a Republican but I am a Conservative that usually votes Republican and I don't hate gays or anyone else.....

Well who cares? What is your point?

 

[hipsterdufus]

I'll go on record saying I'm giving Bush another chance these last 2 years.

 

[TurtleDude]

[Navy Pride]

I'll go on record saying I'm giving Bush another chance these last 2 years.

I just hope the Congress does not cut off the funding for Iraq putting our people in harms way...........

If you can't fund a war, then it must end right?
