not a person.

Anyway, I’m a flaming heterosexual.

Though correntewire is an very odd name for a girl.

… both called “Correntewire,” and Marcel Proust had an haddock! So, if you’re calling the author of ’A la recherche du temps perdu’ a looney, I shall have to ask you to step outside!

Wow, that’s DU these days?

Stay classy….

Correntewire is GAY? Oh, I am so outta here…

What the hell is wrong with DU?

And the archness, the wit and the sensible feel for color.

like the Rainiers, to whom Jean-Paul is always rude when he’s in one of his bleeding moods.

Bastards. All of you.

On a somewhat serious note: I’m loving the lack of irony in chastising someone for being supposedly Repub-lite (read: to question Obama is treason) before adding the Monica reference at the bottom with the coup de grâce, “uh Bill…YES YOU DID.”

The absolutely batshittery that is Gaiilonfong is one of the reasons why I fled OpenLeft…in January. And how odd that Gaiilonfong attacks anyone for (allegedly) having once been a Log Cabin Republican when he/she would quickly denounce anyone who called Obama out on his overt exploitation of homophobia for votes. GF’s counter argument: I’m gay; I support Obama (Believe!); Clinton is evil.

coming from Barack Obama supporters, truly shocked. It’s a good thing I’m posting from my fainting couch.

…you’re being mistaken for John Aravosis. That is NOT cute.

weird….

Why does someone who is gay openly support someone who is so openly NOT gay?
There is an adage in there somewhere…..

Obama is the hopiate of the masses. Clinton is the type of evil you can only get from peace and prosperity. Cthulu is my homegirl!

If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man.
—Mark Twain—

are well-off or comfortable white guys who don’t need stuff from govt for the most part, and are not very politically active anyway (i.e., they don’t really care that much if there’s no ENDA or marriage rights, etc—they have income cushions and lawyer’s docs to get around it, etc)—-this partly describes the famous/bloggers like Sullivan & Aravosis esp that they’re verbal activists, i guess—neither of them need govt to actively do things to help them live freely for various reasons—they’re not fired bec they’re gay and they don’t have to worry about healthcare and stuff, etc. (i know Sullivan was rightwing, and now is very libertarian or “independent”—Aravosis i don’t know)

They don’t need practical and tangible things from govt so uplifting and symbolic stuff is fine—they’re like most straight boy bigtime bloggers in that, and like many if not most Obama supporters too, i think.

Overwhelmingly for both straight and gay Dems, etc, those who need a strong active govt doing practical things like rights, healthcare, SS, jobs, economy stuff, etc, are going Hillary.

— The Diva’s Camp: The Appeal of Hillary Clinton —

“… Sullivan and the Barack-olytes don’t get Hillary because they don’t get the aesthetic genre she is working in. Hillary Dearest is no horror show—she is a camp phenomenon and fast on her way to becoming one of this century’s greatest camp heroines. Hillary’s camp should be taken seriously; it offers a critical alternative to Obama’s Romanticism. And many Americans just cannot get enough of her.
…
To be sure, Barack-olytes find camp unsettling and it is not difficult to see why. If the appeal of Hillary is the appeal of camp, then surely the appeal of Obama is that of Romanticism. The world according to the gospel of Obama is a world of drama (not melodrama), of spiritualism, of authenticity, of beliefs, of more perfect unions, of the national community, of teleology, and of the serious power of words. For Barack-olytes, the melodrama of camp reeks of heresy and antinomianism. In the context of messianic expectation, there is not much room for laughter.

But camp is (by definition) not purely a laughing matter and Hillary’s performances are not just some theatrical joke. Camp loves the artificial, the spectacle, and the ridiculous because it refuses to maintain the illusions of political rhetoric. Camp exposes the masquerade of political theater by flaunting the grandiose pose and the ironic overstatement.

Camp celebrates theatricality because through its showboating excess camp reveals that our dominant cultural narratives—-whether on gender or sexuality; nationalism or politics; religion or society—are artificial constructions. Through its ridiculous staging and dishonest spectacle, camp undermines the false illusion (upon which political rhetoric depends) that expression is a straightforward vessel which conveys intention. Camp reminds us through its conspicuous duplicity that there is a large gap between feelings and words and that all political rhetoric is just that—rhetoric. …”

Don’t tell my wife.

phat

from the comments there, and very related to that KY GOP guy, and all of them as well as the whole elitist Dem thing too— the “uppity negro” attack.

It’s just horrendous that Obama actually feeds that line of attack so often — he’s been so careful throughout about not feeding “angry black guy” etc, and still shies away from talking about issues that are really important to African Americans and specifically says he won’t separate that way, etc.

have shut down one PA blog, well regarded by other bloggers.

I don’t know why Obama thinks he can do this from fellow Democrats and get their support in the general.

that Taylor Marsh was the straight Corrente.

Just precisely who was he is disparaging?

It’s one of the most virulently misogynist things I’ve seen this campaign season. I actually became a bit sick to my stomach reading it. I would write a post on it but it’s just so goddamn distressing; really I want to just run into the forest and hide or something.

It’s pretty clear that supporting Obama is really little more than an excuse to indulge publicly in extreme woman-hating.
