RIP Jack Kemp

[Syt]

On the other hand Marty would have voted for Adolf Hitler if he had legalized gay marriage.

He had good politician hair, but then again he was a Buffalo Bill.

[Caliga]

He was a homophobic scum, who himself was rumored to suck dick

Remember, in Martinus' mind all homophobes suck dick (at least in their dreams).

Well, the fact is the types of Adolf Hitler or Stalin rarely, if ever, did not want to put gay people into death camps or gulags, so I do not have to deal with this moral conundrum.

Reread Marty's post and parse the double negatives.

I'm not sure about being homophobic, but he was definitely a supply sider.  That alone is pretty damning.

I saw this linked on another blog I read by chance and remembered that there was a thread on this guy here so I actually read it. Now, I don't know anything else about Jack Kemp, but in this he sounds like a very reasonable guy. Too bad if he was also the raging homophobe that Marty describes him as.

When President-elect Obama quoted Abraham Lincoln on the night of his election, he was acknowledging the transcendent qualities of vision and leadership that are always present, but often overlooked and neglected by pettiness, partisanship and petulance. As president, I believe Barack Obama can help lift us out of a narrow view of America into the ultimate vision of an America where, if you're born to be a mezzo-soprano or a master carpenter, nothing stands in your way of realizing your God-given potential.

So he was homophobic and delusional?

Well, one of his famous quotes was: "While I believe in civil liberties for homosexuals, I guess I'd have to say I'd draw the line at letting them teach in schools."

What civil liberties did he believe in then? Not putting homosexuals in death camps? Must be a moderate!

He was a homophobic scum, who himself was rumored to suck dick when he wasn't fighting against basic rights of gay Americans or against rights of HIV-positive patients (while he opposed any funding for HIV research or any legal protections for HIV+ people against discrimination etc., he actually supported a bill requiring mandatory testing for HIV, with the results being public). He was an evil man.

Why should HIV-positive people any additional rights?  Also, given the inherent criminality of homosexuals, it would be a good idea to keep them out of schools.
