Update: The Senator denies the report. AND HE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO. This is America, at least I thought it was.
If you think this is a small matter, I'd argue you're wrong. In total, from swimming in a sea of hate that responded to the death of innocent contractors in Iraq with "screw 'em," prominent Democrat candidates have profited to the tune of $3.5 Million dollars. Below are just a few.
Last I looked, Tester running in Montana had half a million dollars in the bank. Half of those dollars came from a Netroots web now claiming an Idaho Senator is a homosexual three weeks before an election, as if it's anyone's business besides his, even if he were.
Is that the type of Democrat Tester is running as in Montana? Lamont is an empty suit, but he had no trouble filling his pockets with $400k from the very same source. And what of Jim Webb? Does he have a position on Gays in the military? Perhaps it's out.
DNC Chair Howard Dean, Senators Barbara Boxer and Harry Reid, among others, traveled to Nevada to solicit support and lavish praise on the same individual whose blog is now featuring the clearest example of homophobic-laced hate in politics I've ever seen. Even today, they are raising money for a so-called expanded field.
The Democrat Party built this network and that blog. They funded it with advertising, many, including John Kerry, have written copy for it and fueled its rage. And they reaped the fruit of that rage in dollars and in hype.
Now it's election time and they all deserve to be held accountable for encouraging such hate and paving the way for its hate-filled tactics designed for one reason - to benefit them, yet, again.

Triple up on that Huh?
Enjoyed the side-trip to Senatoe Macacawitz' site,
especially liked the well-reasoned arguements.
As to the death of innocent contractors,
I don't know this story.
Where these guys mercenaries, or not?

If we Republicans truly loved murder as much as you think, you'd be a cold cut sandwich for a worm by now, Demo.

sometimes it takes a while for the socially conservative to be able to accept current culture.

Actually, the vague accusation of homosexuality not long before an election is exactly the tactic that George W Bush used to defeat Governor Anne Richards in Texas some years back. And who can forget the accusation that McCain had a half-black love child. It came from Rove during the South Carolina primary in 2000.
Of course, barely a day goes by when Rush Limbaugh fails to accuse Hillary Clinton of lesbianism.
Mr. Craig was forced to publicly deny these sorts of accusations in 1982.
But of course, none of that matters.
