Re: Noted CBS Journalist Itay Hod Pretty Much Just Outed Homophobic GOP Rep. Aaron Schock

Unknown reporter trying to make a name for himself.

Multiple posters trying to write a 'Gay Instruction Book'. More WBC-like rhetoric.

Wrong

If you are gay, in the closet, and against gay rights, prepare to be outed.

Apparently you failed to read my post thoroughly.

No it isn't. It's exactly the same thing as a family values Republican supporting morality legislation while having 3 mistresses and saying a journalist should point that out.

Not only do these self-loathing republican closet queens think alike, they look alike.

Will Ted hire disgraced Aaron for a "massage"?

I wonder what Schock's constituents think about his performance?

Is he performing satisfactorily— apart from this one issue?

He's Republican, so the safest answer by a mile is no.

The country has no shortage of backwards, reactionary Republicans in safely red voting districts accomplishing nothing good or even putting their district or city or county or state into massive debt, but still polling well with their Republican constitutents.

He must be keeping them happy if they vote for him. Its is a democracy and you have non-compulsory elections.

We also have gerrymandering.

What's your interest in defending an antigay Republican congressman again?

It's not a democracy. The president and the House of Representatives can be elected without a popular mandate, as the latter now is and the former was for Bush's first term.

Schock doesn't sound very bright.

This Itay Hod person sounds like an egomaniac.

I guess some electoral reform is needed. I envy you have non-compulsory elections. My country has compulsory elections which means political debate gets dumbed-down to an illiterate level.

If a politician is passing harmful laws for others that conflict hypocritically with his own life a journalist should:

a) Report it

b) Not report it

You have a 50/50 chance, Pat.

Our elections are characterized by a completely apathetic and brain dead public with paranoid extremists hijacking the primary elections, and general elections depending on whom is more crazy at that precise moment.

Are you seriously saying that the fact that Sarah Palin was nearly the 2nd in command of the United States, and George W. Bush actually was the Commander-in-Chief, reflects a higher intellectual standard for political election in the U.S.?

We only get decent debate in or country when a middle party starts taking votes from the two big parties on the extremes. The debate in my country is choked with petty, time-wasting bitching.

The debate in our country is a quick discourse on Reaganomics followed by character attacks.

The debate...

The Westminster System of debate that you and I have is hopeless and time wasting and TOO prone to corruption.

Is pat pretending he's Austrailian again? I'm confused.

If you'd like to not be asked to substantiate or explain the logic behind the things you say, you could always not say things you have no ability to substantiate.
