Nothing like a little public hypocrisy to create political infighting. Haha! I personally love watching conservatives squirm over this.

he is a hypocrite because he works with bigots and keeps his mouth shut. I can see him nervously changing the subject when Rove breaks out the latest gay joke and the staffers chuckle.

that Miss Coco Peru would make an excellent first lady. Something tells me she can bake the shit outta some cookies.

I've neither seen nor read evidence that the Cheneys hate gays, and yet Salon readers seem to hate the Cheneys a whole bunch. So much for tolerance on the left! Y'all must be blaming him for the Defense of Marriage Act that he ushered thru Congress and then bullied the President into signing. Uh, in 1996!

I've always said the sweetest revenge you can ever have on an insane control freak is to give them everything they've ever desired. If Mary Cheney wants to volunteer to be a little cog in her parents death machine and the poster child for doormats the world over, then fine. But I can't for the life of me understand or appreciate Kapos like that. Do they really hate themselves so much that not only are they eager to get kicked in the face by their own parents, they want to do it on a public stage? Holy moly, even I'd support taking her kids away at that point. No the whole side show stinks of something more sinister and corrupted than even the worst day on Jerry Springer. It's evil. It's like something out of Paradise Lost, demonic. It's Norman Bates.

RealName,

I appreciate your posts and look forward to them, but that one was gratuitously nasty and vicious.

Because, as her stint with Coors showed us, Mary is more than happy to be an "out and proud" lesbian -- as long as there's a paycheck to cash.

I hope she, her "back of the bus" partner, and her hateful parents are all very happy together, pretending to be something they're not.

And I hope the kid is colicky and keeps them up at night.

It's a baby. Cheney is an anti-gay bigot, but not enough so that he's willing to reject a family member who is gay, or a grandchild who is the child of this family member. A lot of parents of gay people are not so tolerant, and I think it is admirable of him to put his family before his biases. Do I wish he would be more open to the needs or GLBT people , using his experiences with his daughter to open his mind and heart to them in general? Yes. But he isn't, and frankly, this is nobody's business but their families. Like Clinton's marital indiscretions, it's none of our business. It's a baby, not a political statement.

"What is extremely troubling is the official White House caption that appears underneath the photo on the official White House website."

These are people who hate people based on the way they are born. They're the same kind of people who rounded up Africans for the slave trade, massacred American Indians to take their land, or launched endless pogroms against Jews and Moslems over the centuries. They throw around the word "Family" to mask their bigotry, hatred, anti-Family and anti-Humanity beliefs. They go against everything I was taught was "Christian" in church school.

They think they know better than the American Medical Association, but they cannot perform surgery. They think they know better than the American Psychological Association, but they create more mental illness than they cure. Both institutions have determined that homosexuality is permanent. Period.

Are these people simply uninformed? No. They think based on faith, an unmovable belief that never changes, never improves, never corrects or even acknowledges its mistakes or contradictions. It's the same kind of thinking used by Osama Bin Laden, the Spanish Inquisition, and countless dictatorships down through history. These are the most dangerous people in the world.

except for one major difference: the gays, lesbians, and transgendered that I know are dislike bigotry in all forms regardless of who it targets, while the feminists that Broadsheet Blogrolls as well as NOW think that sexism and bigotry against men and especially fathers is justified.

In a very real sense, Heather Poe has exactly the same rights as a divorced father, which is to say, none.

Though the founders of feminism had expressed support for joint shared parenting as the preferred form, Broadsheet, your blogrollees, and NOW constant work to keep good, willing, and capable fathers from expressing their meaningful role in their children's lives.

So I don't see a whole lot of difference between anti-gay bigotry and NOW anti-father bigotry.

Except Broadsheet is okay with one and not the other.

Shame on Broadsheet. You may wish to ask yourselves why gays, and the transgendered and many lesbians and fathers don't see feminism as the fight for human rights that you claim that it is.

If you want peace, work for justice. If you want justice, work for peace.
