Where was the Cheney family outrage when the Republican National Committee recently launched a series of gay-baiting mailings to southern states? Didn't hear boo out of Dick, Lynne or Mary when their own party mass-mailed anti-gay "get out the vote" messages to their bigoted base. Where was this outrage when a certain Illinois senate candidate called Mary Cheney a "selfish hedonist" on the radio? Let me get this, umm, straight -- Kerry saying Mary Cheney deserves the same rights straight people have is somehow wrong, but Alan Keyes gets a free pass for calling her a selfish hedonist and a sinner at the FREAKIN Republican National Convention? Did I miss the public statement from the Cheneys? But when a Democrat PRAISES a gay person, that's when the Cheneys attack. Then again, we haven't heard squat out of the Cheneys for the past four years of gay-bashing that's come out of Mr. Cheney's administration. So why be surprised by their rank hypocrisy now? This family was always ready to throw gays to the dogs for the greater good of the GOP. Big surprise they're using their own daughter one last time to weep some crocodile tears in order to help a homophobe get re-elected. Anybody with half a brain can see that the repugs are waving mary cheney around in a hypocritical temper tantrum to use her.
