Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Wednesday, June 03, 2009

A candidate to lead North Carolina's GOP has sued a radio host for forwarding email rumors that he's gay. "The fact that I'm 54 and single does not mean that I have to put up with vicious rumors that I'm gay," said Tom Fetzer, the former mayor of Raleigh, N.C. "The fact that I am heterosexual is a matter of public record."

"He's gay. I've been south of his Mason-Dixon Line many times."

He's taking a wide stance on the issue.

Its amazing what passes for clever in the minds of the terminally dim.

There's a public record of one's sexual preferences?

Cookie's just looking for a date/mate.

I guess this report must be wrong then.

I know, that sentence also struck me as being a bit strange.

Methinks he doth protest too much.

Seems awfully touchy about the issue. Looks like a fag to me.

He can join the Pink Elephants...I mean the Log Cabin Republicans.

Republicans twisting themselves into knots about gay or not gay would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad. Move on, gays. Oops, guys. It's 2009.

I would never accuse a Republican of being happy. I talk to plenty and none are.

This is another joke, right? I hate to comment just to be told that you were kidding -- which I'm sure you are.

The gayest person I know is a fire-breathing Limbaugh quoting Neo-Con. He loves men and hates women, all women, including his own mother.

Everytime I see him around, I ask him if he's stopped loathing himself yet. He says no, then drinks until he passes out.

Yes...I am. Goatman, most of the time I am. Here is a helpful guide to tell if I am joking or not: one or two sentence posts are usually just jokes. I am wordy when being serious, but quick when joking.

Good. I thought so. 90% of the people I work with are Republicans and they are generally a pretty happy bunch. Got a couple of malcontents, of course, but that is within the normal statistical distribution curve.

My parents are Republicans....well, were prior to Dubya. I am happy he cured them of it. I don't think the average citizen has any business being in a party....we should vote issues and let the professionals play politics.

He didn't really say, "I'll sue your ass", did he?

Big deal I've been called much worst things

But homosexual marriage is still wrong

To be frank, I've never personally seen a "gay marriage." I have seen moments of happiness among my married friends, but, once apart, all they do is bitch about being married.

As I recall, Fred and Wilma Flintstone had a yabba dabba doo time. A dabba doo time. They had a gay old time in their marriage.

No doubt Fred and Barney had marriages of convenience.

No, Fred was always going "bowling" or to the lodge and Wilma was always hanging around with Betty. They did have a "gay ole time," but I doubt it was with eachother.

I once heard that Fred and Wilma were the first couple to be seen in bed together on public TV. I don't know if this is true or not. Anyone else ever hear this?

"Bush set up it up for Obama to bring US to Socialism."

Then I have something to thank President Bush for!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

I heard it was Lucy and Desi, but I am curious now. Let me check...

Tort reform acts have pretty much eliminated slander per se. Without proof of actual damages the best result is an injunction. The Reps championed these legislative acts as a means of eliminating frivolous lawsuits. In Missouri they not only limited punitive damages, but the state takes half of the award under what theory of law I have yet to discover.

So he can sue but unless the slander is believed and causes loss of income or position, he's screwed.

As for thew public record, maybe he was caught in flagrante delicto with Miss North Carolina - but I doubt it.

There are plenty of good looking women who are attracted to politics, and I'd say the conservative side has the better menu. At least you don't have to wade through the feminists to find someone normal.

Wow Goat...
The answer is something called "Mary Kay and Johnny" from 1947.

www.snopes.com

Which begs the question, who would you tag?

Wilma or Betty.

My pick is Betty.

I heard it was Lucy and Desi, but I am curious now. Let me check

No. I distinctly remember Lucy and Ricky having seperate beds.

Who the fuck are Mary Kay and Johnny? My turn to google. I've never heard of them. I didn't even know they had public TV in '47.

Wilma...I'm a sucker for redheads

I guess you like the way our country is doing now.

What part of rising un-employment, rising inflation, and drop of your 401k value do you like?

#37 | Posted by kanrei

I knew that one, but you beat me to it with your Snopes link. Dammit!

Wilma or Betty.

My pick is Betty.

Maybe it's because I saw the movie, but I couldn't do Betty. Rosie O'Donnel played her.

Wilma for me. She'd have to take that bone out of her hair, though.

I wonder if there is a DRer who would choose Dino? (flirting with a dump here)

Wilma...I'm a sucker for redheads

That, too

Ricky also never said "Lucy, you got some 'splainin' to do" on the show.

I also heard (probably wrong, since I was wrong about the bed thing) that the Cleavers were the first to show a toilet on TV

Goat,
Snopes knows all it seems and it says you are partially right.

www.snopes.com

I was just reading the same reference, kanrei. I guess it just showed the tank.

What scares me is I typed "First Toilet" in Google and it finished "On TV" for me, so it means many, many, many, many people have already searched it.

From Joe's #9 link--

In 1993, Tom Fetzer was elected the first Republican Mayor in the history of the City of Raleigh in an election hailed by the Wall Street Journal as the "most impressive reform victory in the country" that year. As Mayor, he led a successful effort to privatize vital city services and cut taxes four times in three years. Fetzer was re-elected with over 60% of the vote in 1995 and 1997 before stepping down as Mayor in 1999. In 2000, Tom was honored to serve as a teaching fellow at the JFK School of Government at Harvard University, and later named Chief Executive of Community Tennis at the United States Tennis Association.

So basically the guy went from Harvard to the Tennis club?

----

I guess we can all agree that there are some radio talk show hosts that open their mouths and insert their foots?

I thought it was Ricky and Lucy for first in bed on TV.

Maybe the clarifier is a show people remember?

My pick is Betty.

Betty.

And, MaryAnn trumps Ginger, too.

Yeah, but how about Samantha or Serena?

Why pick one? I say both.

Wilma sure knows here way around an elephants snout. Ya know, the one she uses to vacuum with.

She knows how to use a pecker too. You know the bird that lives in the phonograph.

Say I'm Gay and I'll Sue you.

Translated

'Say I'm Gay' = 'Ask me out'.

'Sue Your Ass' = 'Make sweet jungle love to you, big boy'.

With a name like Tom Felcher, he has to be gay.

I think you people are being harsh on the guy. Let me clear this up.

Tom Fetzer is the type of gay guy you will find decked out in chaps and a leather vest. He is not one of those drag queens you would find lip syncing "It's Raining Men". You will never catch him trying to pick up men at gay bars. That is not how he goes about his business.

Are we clear on that....Tom Fetzer is absolutely not EXTREMELY gay.

What is "extremely gay?" Either you are gay or you are not. To quote Diceman: you either suck dick or you don't.

"The fact that I am heterosexual is a matter of public record."

That's one hysterical statement right there. Even if he starred in a live pay per view event demonstrating his ability to engage in heterosexual intercourse...

"The fact that I am heterosexual is a matter of public record."

Hmmmm... what would we find on his rap sheet? Assault? Date rape? Food fight at Hooters?

I can't think of any other "proof" that would be on public record.

To quote Diceman: you either suck dick or you don't.

Unless, of course, you're one of those silly TOTAL tops...

And, MaryAnn trumps Ginger, too.

Yes on Mary Ann

and although I'm usually a sucker for a girl with dark hair and eyes I'd have to go with Samantha.

Vicious little princess, isn't it?

"Fetzer sent an email to supporters late last month announcing his plans to sue Wright and denying that he's gay."

This is a stunt. Republicans have NO shame.

Ya, I agree. People should be able to be outed, even if they really aren't gay. they should have the seeds planted in everyone's head of their alleged gayness - without regard that there is no evidence of it, and in disregard of the person's rights or feelings on the subject.

He should not feel any distress over the fact that a radio talk show host spread this rumor at all. He is a politician, and therefore should have no feelings on the subject.

Further, if he does feel distress, it only goes to show that he is homophobic - if he really thinks being gay would be a bad thing. Either that, or he really is gay, and just hasn't come around to that fact yet, and the talk show guy really just did him a favor.

-the left

FTA: Fetzer, in the suit, accused Wright of concocting a smear campaign against Fetzer to thwart the former Raleigh mayor's attempt to lead the state Republican party. Curtis, Fetzer claims in the suit, has endorsed Marcus Kindley from Guilford County for the position.

The Rtards are continuing to use their whispering campaigns of untrue smears only now it's against each other?

Lawl.

Meanwhile, the NC Courts have already determined that merely calling someone gay or bi is not an inherently libelous act?

So by passing on an "anonymous" e-mail this reich wing talk radio guy has done nothing worth suiing over?

Not just a stunt but a stOOpid one at that.

"The fact that I am heterosexual is a matter of public record."

Doesn't count unless he's in one one of them celebutard sex tapes that have been released onto the internets.

Be Well.

There's a public record of one's sexual preferences?

#4 | Posted by Lipzoidial

In aflac's case, it's a restraining order. In Johnson's its the registered sex offender list.

"Butt slammer" looks like a queer and gets smeared like a queer! I love that these childish innuendos are now being throw at gop candidates. Enjoy righties!
