Ah! It’s all coming clear now… the cover-up of Foley’s activities over the last decade was orchestrated by gays who have infiltrated the GOP. It’s a plot! They fooled people by masquerading as Republicans when they’re really “closeted Dems” (from AIM via memeorandum):
Trandahl is so much of a Republican that he joined the board of the Human Rights Campaign Fund, another gay political action committee that commits most of its funds to electing Democrats. Its latest list of “winning candidates” is all Democrats, except for Republican Senator Lincoln Chafee, who admits not voting for President Bush in 2004.
If you are getting the idea that gay Republicans may be closeted Democrats, then you are beginning to understand how the Mark Foley scandal could have been a Democratic Party dirty trick.
In response to the scandal, a representative of the Log Cabin Republicans, a homosexual activist group, has been on cable channels like CNN and MSNBC expressing the fear that the Foley scandal will be used to root out homosexual influence in the Republican Party. But the Log Cabin Republicans are so Republican that its board voted 22-2 against endorsing President Bush in 2004 because of his stand against homosexual marriage.
So if the gay Republicans are not really Republicans, what are they? One veteran observer of this network told AIM that the Foley scandal should make it crystal clear that the gay Republicans are in reality “liberal activists” who want to use the party to advance the same homosexual agenda embraced by the Democrats.
This reminds me of an article I linked forever ago, about how one can’t be a liberal and a Christian — which no doubt came as a complete surprise to some folks left of center.
So… if you’re gay, and you thought that the Gay Marraige Amendment was a really stupid idea, you can’t be a real Republican — which must make you a subversive. (What does that mean, I wonder, for heterosexuals who also thought the Marraige Amendment was idiocy? Are they allowed to keep their GOP lapel pins?)
Evidently, AIM’s Cliff Kincaid sees the GOP as a one trick pony one plank party. This is very helpful of him, actually, since there are probably quite a few people who, like Polimom, confusedly thought that Republicans had a couple other ideas. Silly us…
Meanwhile, gay activists continue the forcible outing of people who didn’t actually want their sex lives plastered all over the internet. It seems that if you are a “real” Republican (which we now know is defined as support for the GMA), your private life needs to be exposed to the world.
Is this how it all started for the Salem “witches”?
Polimom wonders what’s next. Perhaps trial by water? That was popular at one time, I hear…

More here from James Joyner, whose post includes this great bit:
Articles like this one by Kinkaid reinforce the view that Republicans are closed minded bigots, making it harder to persuade moderates from voting for the party’s candidates. Come to think of it, maybe AIM is a Democratic Party dirty trick? It would certainly explain a lot.
So, essentially, no true Republican is allowed to think for themself. Would this same blogger rant on about African-American Republicans who give money to the NAACP or who supported the immediate renewal of the Civil Rights Act? Somehow, I doubt it.
As for the forcible outings, I imagine that these people have long since forgotten what it’s like to come out of the closet, both in their personal lives and in the public sphere. Even if it’s “common knowledge” in Washington, their personal lives are their own business. I wonder what they think of the specticle the Republicans made of Clinton?
My dear day, you need to listen to the AM band on your radio more often. You can’t in fact be a loyal American, much less a Republican, under these conditions. The 20 million closeted black-shirts of Limbaugh land clearly consider people like myself to be Enemy Combatants, and would cheerfully load us onto the cattle cars and heard us into the camps.
We are much closer today to Weimar Germany that most people are willing to admit, because the prospect is so damned ugly.
“…you need to listen to the AM band on your radio more often”
NOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Alas, it is no longer legal.

Actually, if I recall that whole mess started when some children tried to cover up their naughty behavior by blaming it on adults.
OK… bad example…

It’s all coming clear. Wasn’t Trandahl hiding in the grassy knoll? Give me a break. this guy has been working for congressional Republicans since the early 80s.
I would really like to know if his move from Clerk of the House of Representatives to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation is part of the coverup as well. He’s not talking to reporters.
Yeah, since WTIX and WWL moved to the FM band, I hardly ever fire up the AM button anymore.
Remember – if the float, they’re guilty; if they sink, they’re innocent; and if the water inspired them to sing the theme from Titanic, they’re gay Republicans!
All kidding aside, I wanted to take issue with the contention that HRC is a Democratic organization. They support candidates who are good on gay rights issues. That means they usually support Democrats for a simple reason: there just aren’t nearly as many GOP candidates good on gay rights.
So they get heat from gay Republicans for being “partisan” (please! guys, fix your party & the endorsements will follow) and from Democrats when they do endorse a Republican (which they do on a regular basis).
And the LCR exists to support issues inside the GOP. So, they didn’t endorse W in the primaries and caucses? What apostasy! Toss the faggots on the pile and set them alight. (Ok, if that’s an offensive pun, I apologize, but I’m thinking about firewood a the temp drops into the 60s here in NOLA, and missing my Fargo fireplaces).
Wow – a historical pun! (as I recall, “faggot” was the name given to the pieces of flaming wood used to light the fires used to burn the witches and heretics. The process they used to light the fire was by throwing the faggots onto the woodpile.)
