Abdul for foolishly yacking on the radio and the Internet about this unfounded and irrelevant rumor? Or Bil Browning for the second congressional campaign in a row allowing the Carson campaign to publish false and hurtful information about candidates who agree with me on the issues simply because the Carson campaign is afraid some members of the GLBT community might choose a candidate other than their favored Carsons? I totally understand now why Mark St. John fired him. This man and his blog are causing more harm to our community than good?

Here goes:<BR/><BR/>1. Paid by the DCC, this piece has surfaced elsewhere, and compares Jon Elrod to Bush, vis-a-vis Iraqi policy. It even invites a "factual check" per sey, with a footnote of a 1-18-08 Indpls. Star article.<BR/> The footnote is partially erroneous. But the best piece of misinformation is a photo-shopped picture of Bush and Elrod, as if they're together.<BR/> I have three relatives in Iraq. Our policy there concerns me greatly. I'm not thoroughly thrilled with Elrod's stance on Iraq, but it is nowhere near Bush's.<BR/><BR/>2. A piece paid by the Indiana Demcratic Party, "A Message About The Iraq War From Democrat Andre Carson."<BR/> This piece makes another broad swipe at facts, and claims Andre "has a 9-year law enforcement" career, and he's "worked in an anti-terrorism unit while detailed to the Indiana Department of Homeland Security's Intellegence Fusion Center."<BR/> I'm familiar with that center. It's a dumping ground for Homeland Security funds. Multiple state agencies, including such abstract (terror-wise) as Department of Ag, have representation in this catch-all center.<BR/> Andre's excise police experience is, at best, dubious in this context.<BR/> And if he claims the Fusion Center as identifiable terror experience, he has to claim the method by which he got there: finishing 88th out of 89 in his LEO academy class. Which is kinda hard to do, actually.<BR/><BR/>3. "Andre Carson on Parental Responsibility." Again funded by the Indiana Dems. It's OK, but kinda fluffy.<BR/><BR/>My mailbox is stressed, Andre.

Abdul created all of it as a stranger to town out of nothing! His egomanical trips are hilarious sometimes too.

I've listened to him and Chris long enough to know how they like staging certain conversations. Chris does what Abdul expects from him and falls on the sword and otherwise provides interference for him every time Abdul gets caught in the act. The coincidental timing of it being brought up right before he interviewed Elrod and his own post on Indiana Barrister provide all the evidence I need. Also, did anyone catch that planted phone call from Patti (i.e., Ms. Breaux)? Abdul will swear up and down that he's someone's best friend, but he always zings guests he doesn't like with one of those planted calls and then pretends not to be in on it. If you listen to Abdul's program with any regularity, you learn that there are fewer than 12 regular callers and some are given air time two or three times during the same broadcast just to fill up the time. Whenever a call like "Patti's" comes in out of nowhere, you know it's a planted call Abdul staged to zing his guest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-91164097367182536302008-03-04T10:51:00.000-05:002008-03-04T10:51:00.000-05:00Who cares what Abdul's parents were?????

This only sets back our efforts to cross party lines and gain bipartisan support for GLBT equality when members of our own community attempt to use the "gay scare" to defeat political leaders who support us.
