If you headline a post like this:
Voters Have a Right to Know if a Candidate Practices Homosexuality
And the first line of your piece is this:
Folks, it’ the holiday season…
Then you have officially become a parody of yourself. And if you have no idea why that’s funny, then I can’t help you. Seriously, I couldn’t even read the piece, because I was laughing too hard. I think it’s something about how so many GOP politicians are oh-so-gay, yet oh-so-closeted. Peter doesn’t like that, but he somehow (inexplicably) fails to understand how the very knuckle-dragging worldview he props up contributes to the existence of said politicians who are “pro-family” in public, yet are gay gay gay gay gay in private.
Oh, also, Peter, the “gay” “closet,” as you “call” “it” in your “piece,” is “enabled” by people like “you,” who encourage people to “lie” to themselves about who “they” “are.”
“Also.” Ahem, also.

“Voters Have a Right to Know if a Candidate Practices Homosexuality”
In the case of Peter LaBarbera, the headline should be “Porno Pete wants to know if a candidate practices homosexuality, and if so, he must inform us all of his past sexcapades and all the yummy gory details. I promise it won’t be jerk-off material. I swear!”.

It’s research!
Long, long hours of research!

I’m more concerned about candidates who practice homophobia. Why is Porno Pete so worried about what other people do in bed? Does he want to sneak in and take some of his infamous photos?

Voters do have a right to know the personal affiars or beliefs of hypocrites, who claim or support a mandate to interfere with and ruin other people’s lives, yet don’t practice what they preach. E.g. pickpockets such as Oral Roberts, Jimmy Swaggart, Ted Haggard, the unraptured Jerry Falwell; Billy Graham, not to mention Larry Craig. A pol who does not pass judgement on the private lives of others is entitled to be left in peace.
I can think of some more pressing questions for Republican politicians, the answers to which the public has a right to know. How old they think the Earth is? The answer to that question can have disastrous results for education, scientific research and economic standing (Sarah Palin’s ludicrously uninformed comment about fruit fly research for instance; and the fact that Tony Perkins’s alma mater, Liberty ‘University’ is on an expedition in Eastern Turkey right now, to find Noah’s Ark).
Another question we need answers to, is what motivates politicians to bring peace to the middle east (who gave the orders, for instance, to distribute bibles in Pashtun in Afghanistan? the consequences of such holy stupidity are played out on subways and buses in London and Madrid).
