Arkansas Blog: All gay all the time

I take no pride in predicting this development months ago. But the Republicans, bereft of strong candidates and fresh ideas, have come home to their old standby -- hatred and/or fear of gay people.

They'll be papering their people in advance of early voting with mailers sounding the alarm about the most pressing problem in Arkansas today -- before schools, drugs, prisons, jobs, global warming, fat kids, and the sorry Hog coaching staff. That problem would be gay people, of course, specifically the Democratic Party's insufficient efforts to herd them into box cars. It is already unconstitutional and illegal for gay people to marry or receive any of the favors law bestows on other loving couples, but that's not enough for the haters in the Republican Party. They must be further marginalized and demonized. It is God's will, you may be sure -- their preachers will be underscoring this message, as Warwick reported earlier.

The GOP release on the effort is on the jump. Our questions: Can hatred and fear of a tiny, often oppressed minority carry the party to electoral victory? And, if so, do you want to live in a state that sends such a message?

PS -- The mailer includes images of Michael Moore, Barbra Streisand, Howard Dean and Hillary Clinton -- all straight. You'd think they could have at least included one image of a gay person, Republican Rep. Mark Foley would be suitable, we guess.

PPS -- A$a's gay-bashing effort today is also on the jump.

REPUBLICAN NEWS RELEASE

Little Rock (Oct. 18, 2006): Today, the Republican Party of Arkansas dropped over 100,000 pieces of mail encouraging voters to “early vote” beginning next Monday, October 23rd.

The mail piece highlights the Democratic Party of Arkansas’ blatant attempt to appease the liberal faction of their party by removing the traditional definition of marriage (one man, one woman ONLY) from their party’s platform.

“The Democratic Party of Arkansas, led by Mike Beebe, has stated that protecting the sanctity of marriage is not a priority,” stated Clint Reed, Executive Director of the Arkansas GOP. “However, we believe that the definition of traditional marriage should always be a priority.”

“There is a fundamental difference between the Arkansas Democratic Party and the Republican Party of Arkansas on the definition of traditional marriage. Our position is principled, with conviction, and solvent. The Democratic Party’s position on traditional marriage is based on appeasement and political expediency.”

On Monday, Attorney General Candidate Dustin McDaniel came out in support of civil unions which would essentially extend the same legal status as marriage between a man and a woman.

“There is a pattern that cannot be ignored,” Reed continued. “First, Mike Beebe and the Democratic Party strip the traditional definition of marriage from their platform, and now Dustin McDaniel says he supports civil unions. The Democratic Party is out of touch.”

HUTCHINSON NEWS RELEASE

Little Rock, Ark. – Asa Hutchinson, the 2006 Republican nominee for Arkansas Governor, said today that his opponent, Mike Beebe, is misrepresenting the facts in his attempts to explain why he failed to defend the state in a case that opens the door for foster children to be placed in homosexual households.

Hutchinson noted that, when the issue was raised in a debate in Little Rock Tuesday night between the two candidates, Beebe either misrepresented the facts or does not understand the law when he claimed that he could not get involved in the case as Attorney General.

“The purpose of debates is for candidates to clarify their positions so that voters can make informed decisions on Election Day, but my opponent dodged some of the most important questions raised last night,” Hutchinson said. “Mike Beebe has made a pattern and practice of side-stepping questions about his record on the issues and, in this case, flat-out misrepresenting the facts on the gay foster care case.”

In the debate, Hutchinson criticized Beebe for ducking a lawsuit filed by the ACLU challenging the constitutionality of the state’s policy banning gay foster care.

Last night, Beebe claimed he did not enter into the case for three reasons: (1) The case was handled during the tenure of his predecessor, Attorney General Mark Pryor, not during his; and (2) because state law requires the Attorney General to be invited by the agency involved, and the Attorney General’s Office was not invited to participate by the affected agencies (the Department of Human Services or the Child Welfare Board); (3) the agencies involved have their own lawyers.

Hutchinson said the first two assertions are simply incorrect, and the third is irrelevant.

The gay foster care case was still in litigation and had not even gone to the Supreme Court when Beebe took office as Attorney General. The case wasn’t even settled until a few months ago, while Mike Beebe has been Attorney General for the last four years.

Hutchinson also said that Beebe is wrong in saying that the Attorney General’s office must be recruited to participate in a challenge to the state’s Constitution.

Arkansas Code Annotated 16-111-106 provides the Attorney General must be notified in all cases involving a constitutional challenge and be given the opportunity to be heard.

“As Attorney General, Mike Beebe does not have to be asked to represent the state -- he has the right, in fact the duty, to do so when a constitutional challenge as important as this one arises,” Hutchinson said. “He has used this power in cases that have been politically advantageous to him but has claimed inability to act in cases that are politically risky.”

Hutchinson noted that Attorney General Beebe stepped up and intervened in school litigation – litigation that, like the gay foster case, initiated before Beebe’s tenure as Attorney General. Hutchinson also noted that the Department of Education also has its own lawyers. Yet Beebe was perfectly willing to intervene in this high-profile case involving improving education.

Hutchinson also noted that, as Attorney General, Beebe intervened in a dispute between the Arkansas poultry industry and the state of Oklahoma.

“Mr. Beebe seems to have a selective set of requirements when it comes to which cases he will get involved in and which he will avoid,” said Hutchinson. “A leader cannot simply pick and choose which challenges he will take on. He failed to do his duty and by refusing to represent the state he is saying this is not an important issue. I disagree, as do the people of Arkansas.”

“As the state’s Attorney General, Mike Beebe has an obligation to defend the state against Constitutional challenges, but he passed the buck on a controversial matter rather than handle it himself as he should have,” said Hutchinson.

Hutchinson spoke today at several stops on his GROW ARKANSAS bus tour in Central Arkansas on Wednesday as he visited sites in Pulaski, Saline, Hot Spring and Grant County.

I've never in my life seen a group of folks as fixated on gay sex like this bunch. It's an odd fixation for sure.

Posted by: sjp | October 18, 2006 04:19 PM

It's hard being a Republican and putting in your required amount of gay bashing each month. Especially when gay Republican Congressmen keep dropping out of the sky like rain. And it must be hard to gay bash when so many Republicans in Congress and the White House have gay children.

What do they do...call their kids up after every nasty gay bashing speech and say....oh honey....I wasn't talking about you or your wife Ralph. How awkward it must be to live like that.....far stranger than actually being gay.

The Foley thing is far from over, next he is going to give the name of the pedophile priest who bent him over in the name of the Lord and we'll get back to bashing the Catholic Church or Pedophile Central as some call it. If I was a big Catholic and a big Republican I'd either go hide in my basement or do what their doing, ramping up the gay bashing trying to put up a smoke screen around the whole hypocrisy of the Republican Party.

Some good is coming out of this as more people are finding out they like gay people more than Republicans. Except for Rove, no gay person is ruining America. Except for Rove, no gay person started a war in Iraq. Except for Rove, no gay person turned their back on New Orleans after Katrina.

Historians will have a ball with the Bush era and the Republican gay bashers will be compared to old Bull Connors who used to turn the dogs and the water hoses on black people back in the 60s.

I got one of these today. Surely the Republican party knows how I've voted in every election. Sending this to democrats should do nothing but fire them up. They may want to dsitrubute these a little more carefully.

Posted by: LiberalTopher | October 18, 2006 04:40 PM

I sure hope they use the "Outrageously Liberal" tag in this mailing like they are using in their soft money TV ads against Beebe. It makes me snicker. Republicans are so sad.

Posted by: Sparky | October 18, 2006 04:57 PM

"The Democratic Party's position on traditional
marriage is based on appeasement and political
expediency."

That's totally illogical. They claim Democrats
are against traditional marriage when virtually
everyone is for it. How in the hell is that
"apeasement and political expediency."

Yeah, and taxes are like weeds and kill all growth.
Yeah, taxes have gone up in Arkansas and the
economy is growing and we have a record surplus.
Facts never get in the way of Republicans.
They are so use of living in closets that they
have created their own reality.

i just called republican headquarters asking about what was the problem with gay people. a very nice lady named rose could only tell me to look at the platform on the internet site. she asked my name and number which i gave her and said someone would call me. when i asked hers she would only say rose. she would not give her last name and when asked she said that like paul it was all the name she needed. it is getting wierd down there. they are not willing to stand behind their names.

Posted by: zonker | October 18, 2006 05:36 PM

Well one thing is for SURE. We can tell that Rove was here giving them those friendly reminders of how he got those miles and miles of mobile homes which surround Dallas to support George.

Forget job, forget schools, forget quality of life and focus upon Rove-guided hatred. What's so utterly disgusting is that sometimes it works.

Funny if you disagree with these Bush following fascist that your called lib, communist, left. I felt that I have been middle of the road most of my life. But these fear fascist have to go.

Asa you dead wrong with trying to a take a page out of the playbook of Rove. Arkansas will NOT buy your fear factor.

Posted by: Riverdog | October 18, 2006 05:54 PM

Washington lobbyists like Hutchinson shouldn't move back here and criticize how we do business without doing their homework first -

as a government lawer, sometimes I wish that the AG "had a duty" to step in and defend the state constitution every time a statute was alleged to be unconstitutional - that just aint how it works. The AG must be notified of constitutional challeges, that is true for sure - but they are not the lawyer for every single state agency - they don't have to defend every single policy out there.

Don't forget - the whole gay foster parent issue was a policy issue - meaning - it was about a policy drafted by a board - there never was an issue as to whether a particular law was unconstitutional -- for reasons too complicated to explain here - if there had been a law at issue - DHS probably would have won with or without the AG's help.

If Hutchinson actually practiced much law ( or actually did real work in Arkansas for that matter) he could quickly see how this state works, how state government and agencies work. I'll give you another example - payday lenders - the collection board hired outside counsel for their litigation - they chose not to use the AG - possibly becuase they differ with the AG on the issue slightly. Show me where it says - the AG MUST represent these boards, MUSt defend constitutionally suspect policy and MUST intervene even when a board or agency says no thank you.

"The Democratic Party of Arkansas, led by Mike Beebe, has stated that protecting the sanctity of marriage is not a priority," stated Clint Reed, Executive Director of the Arkansas GOP. "However, we believe that the definition of traditional marriage should always be a priority."

As much as I hate the stupid amendment that passed a couple of years ago, there is a prohibition against gay marriage in the Arkansas Constitution. Have these yokels been asleep? Where have they been? What more do they want? Pink badges? Yikes, I wouldn't put that past them!

Ah, it's just another sign of desperation on behafl of the Republicans....and that's a good thing.

Posted by: Arky | October 18, 2006 07:15 PM

Gay is just a sly name for the word Queer! Being a queer is no doubt a disease of the human mind. They are filthy digusting people and will do anything sexually even if it kills them...
I see there are a lots of queers in this state but there are more people that are not queer living in this state. Thank God.

Posted by: chasv | October 18, 2006 07:26 PM

Last week, some "Bible Thumpers" came on the campus at UALR. They talked about the evils and the "degradation" of being gay. I challenged them and Kenneth Wallis, Clint Reed, Clint Tucker, and so many of the other gay bashers and purveyors of discord and hate scorned me. They think its funny and sadly some like Kenneth Wallis, talk and type stuff like what "Chasv" wrote believing it to be truth.

There is nothing different between this and the racists that roamed Arkansas' hills, the KKK members, or even those who were anti-Irish, anti-Roman Catholic, anti-anybody different from the norm.

I am a normal guy. I put my pants on one leg at a time. I go to church on Sundays. I have friends that I laugh with, play flag football with, and make late night IHOP runs with. I love my country, my Mom and Dad, and do what I can, when I can to serve others. I don't drink in excess, don't do drugs, and don't sleep around. I pay my taxes and follow the laws.

So why am I such a threat?

We have Asa Hutchinson from a party that has led our nation into a war where almost 2,500 Americans have been killed, and theres no exit strategy.

We have Jim Holt from a party that wants to dismantle Social Security and has spent our surplus and put our nation into a deficit.

We have Jim Lagrone lying about where his son was to make a political point and then blaming his campaign staff afterwards.

We have Gunner Delay not only from a party that had major contributors who bilked many hard working Arkansans out of their savings and pensions so they could live a lavish lifestyle, but he's the cousin of the man who benefitted the most.

We have Chris Morris talking about breaking down racial barriers while his party has supported and increased racial profiling in it's "WAR ON TERROR." A party that ignored the cries of thousands of his own race as they drowned in the waters that destroyed a beautiful city.

And we have Andy Mayberry in a party that has protected the identity of a pedophile to save a Congressional seat.

So who represents "VALUES" once again in this nation?

Shame on the Republican Party!

Why are you thanking God chasv? He's the one who created 'em. Says so in da Book. He made everything, etc.
Jeez, you monotheistic whackos have been responsible for more death and destruction than any other cause on the planet. One of these days, gay bashing will join lynching as the despicable deed it truly is.
Until then, I continue to remind one and all:

I don't vote for BIG(idi)OTS. I'm rather hardwired against the boneheaded views of religious fascists. At least when I worship my backyard vegetable deities, they don't encourage me to hate others, murder young virgins, condemn me to an afterlife concentration camp, and try to use extortion to make me believe in the "Absolute Truth."

What happened to this Love Thy Neighbor As Thyself credo? Or my favorite religious tenet: Mind Your Own Business.

Posted by: Jake da Snake | October 18, 2006 08:10 PM

chasv, it's only 10%. What kind of threat is 10% to you? Over 50% of the population threatens you with divorce. Why don't you hate them? They're a far bigger threat to marriage and the stability of society than gay people. I hear some of them are also adulterers, too. You really need to get your priorities straight (no pun intended).

Posted by: widj | October 18, 2006 09:11 PM

I'd sure hate to be a member of any organization whose platform included discrimination against 10 percent of all Americans, including their own family members.
But, it's becoming increasingly clear that the Republican party really doesn't care one way or another - they just use the issue to get votes.

Posted by: BlueRidge | October 18, 2006 10:08 PM

CHASV:
Mark Foley had some of the same ideas. I think we should investigate YOUR background...who knows what we'll find?

Posted by: spunkrat | October 18, 2006 10:26 PM

It's difficult to understand how Republicans can be so callous towards gay people, while turning the other cheek when it comes to the numerous gays within their own ranks. The media mostly ignores this hypocritical bias; likely because it refuses to discriminate against Republicans based on sexual preference. I can certainly understand this, but it seems like the media would do more to highlight the apparent hypocrisy.

"Gay bashing" is obviously just a GOP political stunt, and yet, it's amazing how many people fall into the trap.

Posted by: Blue Hope | October 18, 2006 10:49 PM

There is nothing in the world you can compare QUEERS to. God did not create; Queers are self made from the core of their own lust.
Many of you think just like the people at Sodom and Gamarrah did and God destroyed them. Nothing is lower than a queer who defiles himself. You scum of the earth don't attack me for there is nothing you got I want. You beast cannot be reasoned with and that's exactly why God burned up the people at Sodom and Gamarrah.

Posted by: chasv | October 18, 2006 11:02 PM

Sigh. I suppose in a few weeks I'm going to have to show a few voters how to cast their vote against the deadly gay peril threatening them, and assure them that they really don't have to vote on any other issue on the ballot if they don't want to.
Maybe this time I can close my gaping mouth before a bug flies in.

Hang in there, Chasv! We have been needing a token retard for a while. I'm a Christian, and I love the bible-- it has rape, incest, murder, slavery, cannibalism, adultery-- all those things that give us liberals a stiffy!

Chasv,

Your god is one demented, sick SOB. Your peurile self-righteous BS doesn't cut it and to use God as some weapon to deal misery and pain is beyond any dignity.

You're one twisted, dogmatic psycho. It is people like you who have made God an ugly word. By your actions and thoughts, you defile the scripture of Jesus and his message of love.

Any cretin who wants to take away rights from my fellow Americans better watch out. Doesn't it say in our pledge of allegiance something about liberty and justice for all? If you don't support that, then you dishonor all Americans who fought and died for this country and those rights.

You are a traitor hiding your hatred and sickness behind your sick version of a god.

Gas prices are down, the stock market is performing well, and the Razorbacks have won 5 straight. Why is it that you continue to dog the Arkansas coaching staff? Arkansas beat the #2 team in the country in their home when they beat Auburn. Give them a break for a change - they've earned it.

Based on the evidence presented so far, former Representative Foley has NOT had sex with anyone under the age of 18. The evidence seems to be that he has had sex with former pages who were 18 and older. I don't know that its accurate to classify Foley as a pedofile given that his prey were all of legal age. Sure he's a scumbag.

Given that less than 2% of the population is gay, I don't see the need for such a great emphasis on gay issues either. Then again, Jim Holt, in his hapless campaign against Blanche Lincoln did fairly well running against gay marriage in the past, so why expect him to change?

Given that the state legislature has been controlled by Democrats for so long, the more critical issue is maintaining an independent governor's office. By having a Republican Governor we have benefitted from having a check on the free spending state legislature. Mike Beebe will be a rubber stamp on a Democratically controlled statehouse. Expect pork barrell spending to sky rocket and taxe increases to follow.

I'm curious. Democrats criticize Asa Hutchinson for taking a job in Washington DC. So do you feel the same way about former President Clinton? Should he have stayed in Arkansas instead? Should Bill Halter have stayed in Arkansas instead of working for the Clinton administration?

Posted by: Severus | October 19, 2006 09:21 AM

Well, sorry, it is spelled gomorrah but you are so damn smart it don't matter because you just learned a new lesson you never would have known if I hadn't wrote it. I don't hate queers I love them I just hate what the hell they do, damn them for their cesspool life and trying to recruit others to join them. Yeah, it was old testament where it is found and I know the new is about love and forgiveness but you have to repent, REPENT, of our sins to be forgiven. Queers cannot reason with anyone especially the teaching of the bible.. Don't attack me because you are wasting your time I know I am a sinner and not perfect but I am not one that condones the lifestyles of queers.
Thank you,

Posted by: chasv | October 19, 2006 09:46 AM

Chasv, you are what we call a "True Believer." Reason is not your forte'; logic is not your guideline. You base all you hold true on faith and faith alone. You don't seek understanding as much as you seek approval.
Despite many good notions about caring for our fellow man, the major monotheistic religions (Judaism, Christianity, & Islam) have many serious flaws and faults: intolerance, vanity, violence towards those it perceives as enemies, repression, vindictive and jealous gods, and more.
As easily as you can point to verses to condone your actions, I can point to those that condemn your actions. You could probably point out verses how God demands your worship and adoration and I can show you others in the bible that show him to be responsible for murder, genocide, and torture.
I think the shepherd analogy used in the bible is quite appropriate. In reality, the shepherd tends his flock not for their needs primarily but for his and his family's needs. The sheep exist only to feed and clothe the shepherd.
Anyway, blind obedience is what a shepherd wants in good sheep and you fit the bill. Chasv. Some of us prefer to live with our eyes and minds open.

Posted by: Jake da Snake | October 19, 2006 10:34 AM

This is about queers and you attack me for all things your pea brain can think of. Go stick your head in the sand. It is obvious you hate God and those who believe in Him.

Chasc obviously you were also home schooled. Your english is horrible. Son, your hate will consume you before you reach the age of consent. I really think that if you find a more moderate religion you will be a much happier person. You can love Jesus and be happy, the person displaying the traits you do is not a true christain. You are more along the lines of the Mike Huckabee brand who can praise the lord and still execute people.

Posted by: zonker | October 19, 2006 11:55 AM

"I don't hate queers I love them I just hate what the hell they do, damn them for their cesspool life and trying to recruit others to join them."

Okay, chasv, let's take a look at your statement above. You love queers? What does love mean? Can you love them and damn them at the same time? (Can YOU damn them, or would damning be something in God's job description?)

If you are a Christian, as you seem to want us to think you are, wouldn't your job be to forgive other sinners so that you can receive God's grace of forgiveness for your own sinful ways?

I've heard people like you say they love the sinner, just not the sin. That's no more than paying lip service to God.

Why don't you do a little research on the meaning of love? A good starting point (since you claim Christianity as your faith) would be the teachings of Jesus Christ. Try to get His take on love. Try to get His take on homosexuality, then get back to us.

Then also tell us about homosexual recruitment. I'd be interested in what you see as recruitment of, by, and/or for homosexuality.

In short you might keep this in mind if you want to continue your claim to be a Christian:

Your job is to forgive others of their sins.

God's job is to pass judgment on sinners.

God's job is far too big for you to try to handle.

Posted by: hugh mann | October 19, 2006 12:15 PM

Honestly, Chasv, I don't hate God. I can't hate something which I don't believe exists. End of discussion on that.

What I do hate are small minded bigots who use god as justification for their fears and prejudices. If I haven't made myself clear then let me just say this: you are the cause of your problems with other human beings. That's called responsibility and you're not taking any.
I'm quite happy with life, I'm not burdened with unnecessary guilt, I fought for my country and the rights it guarantees, I love studying history, I know that often questions are more important than answers, and I try to keep an open mind and an open heart.
At best, according to my definition, there are billions of gods, each one unique to the person thinking about it. Some are more similar because they've let someone else do their thinking for them. In Christianity alone, there are thousands of different sects and views of God and the Christian institution. Tune in to the TV and there aer a multitude of different speakers giving their interpretation of God, events, and the bible.
It's a racket for many of them. To me, it's just a racket as in noise. And we all know that an empty gourd makes the most noise when just a little bit of junk rattles around inside it.

Posted by: Jake da Snake | October 19, 2006 12:49 PM

From Jake da Snake:...I know that often questions are more important than answers.

Thanks mom. If you know how I can get a halo, let me know. I always thought it would make a great reading light at night.
I do like the practical and the pragmatic over the didactical and the dogmatic. It's all in what you want the light to shine on, yourself or what you're studying.

Posted by: Jake da Snake | October 19, 2006 01:44 PM

"It's all in what you want the light to shine on, yourself or what you're studying."

I think that statement trumps the previously brightest comment of the day.

Yep, hugh, jake's got game today. Now, where's dbi?

Posted by: a mom | October 19, 2006 02:26 PM

I have several gay friends and I've never been "recruited" by them or seen them try to recruit anyone else. Quite possibly that's because the ones I see most often are in stable, long-term relationships that have lasted longer than my 12 year hetero commitment. Still. You ever been "recruited"? Or know anyone who has? If so, your "recruiter" was probably joking.
And while you may believe otherwise, if you're truly "loving your neighbor as yourself" (the commandment Jesus said was most important...remember?), then you're not concerned with any adult, consensual relationships where no one is being hurt, that they may be having.
