Otherwise, no.

Um, no.

a bunch of straight posters coming in to tell us that they haven't seen it and that being gay can't be used as a smear and so those post simply don't exist. Imagine that... /sarcasm

thread from yesterday - use accusations of gayness in some form or fashion to smear your adversaries. Sadly, it seems to work much of the time. At least amongst Anglo-Saxons.

those that posted Gaddafi in drag pictures saying he paraded around his compound in drag? I was very young at the time and back then truthfulness was not as easy to research as with the net. I figured at the time it was misinformation being spread. It was around the time his compound was hit.

I thought the same thing then, "... accusations of gayness in some form or fashion to smear your adversaries." ... and "Sadly, it seems to work much of the time. At least amongst Anglo-Saxons."

People are sooo easy often to manipulate sometimes, because many do brain-stem reactions with no brains involved.

But because many forces at work domestically prefer to manage dumb people rather than educated and smart, most people ARE kind of dumb, and this crap works.

Pisses me off no less.

(On a side note, people sometimes think I'm being pedantic on any range of issues, whereas instead, I am trying in my own way to get people to THINK, to help get them - rationally - where I am on an issue.)

is that his pole-dancing girlfriend is actually him, in drag.

*sigh*

How awful, PORN!!!11!11! I rarely start a day where I haven't partaken in some porn. Porn doesn't bother me, but then, I'm an actual liberal.
