On the Craig Matter

Posted by Adam Graham in : Idaho Conservative, The

Being from Idaho, as the entire blogosphere is abuzz about the allegation that Senator Larry Craig is a homosexual or bi-sexual. Senator Craig’s office responded:

Senator Craig’s office flatly rejected the claims. “The Senator says this story is absolutely ridiculous – almost laughable,” said press secretary Sid Smith. “It has no basis in fact.”

Now, let’s understand what Mr. Roger’s evidence is:

On the show I have called on Senator Larry Craig to end his years of hypocrisy by leveling with Idahoans about who he really is. I am also calling upon several prominent Idaho social conservative leaders to ask them how they square their anti-gay positions with their support for this leader.

I have done extensive research into this case, including trips to the Pacific Northwest to meet with men who have say they have physical relations with the Senator. I have also met with a man here in Washington, D.C., who says the same — and that these incidents occurred in the bathrooms of Union Station. None of these men know each other, or knew that I was talking to others.

At this point, there really IS no evidence other than the word of Mike Rogers. Because Mr. Rogers has interviewed several men, none of them willing to come on camera. None of them willing to talk about it. So, it’s all left up to Mr. Rogers who has had a mixed record in his efforts to “prove” people homosexual.

Senator Craig has had his say until we have actual evidence, I’ll believe the Senator over a political activist. I should point out that if the left wing blogosphere were so adamant about convicting people on allegations, Bill Clinton would have been declared a murderer long ago based on the amount of research, etc. done.

Particularly in the weeks before an election.

It really takes tons of confidence that you’re going to win when you have to cry, “He’s gay!” to try to discredit a conservative opponent.

It’s ok Adam, Larry has said that you’ll always be in his heart.

I guess he does like bears.

You’re not making sense, Binky boy, but what else is new.

Look Adam, despite all of the conservative uproar and claims of falsehood, Mike has done his homework and is ready to withstand and win a libel suit.

The damage is done, now Craig has the opportunity to challenge Mike’s claims in court or to accept that damage.

As for the bear comment? Look it up.

I did and none of the dictionary.com definitions have anything to do with the discussion at hand. If you’re going to make accusations, I dare you to say them directly to the person’s face, in plain english, within striking distance. Nothing you are not willing to say under those conditions should be said and is definitely not welcome on this blog.

So, Bill Clinton was a killer? Many right wing authors made the same offer during the Clinton Era. He never accepted. Whether guilty or not, no politician wants a “I am not gay” trial going on while running for office. The mainstream has pretty much ignored the study and it will die from lack of oxygen, rather than being drug out through court. The only ones believing the story right now are left wing nutjobs and keeping it out of court will keep it that way.
